Computer Networks is an international, archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete
coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in the computer communications networking area. The audience includes researchers,
managers and operators of networks as well as designers and implementors. The Editorial Board will consider any material for publication
that is of interest to those groups.
SUBJECT COVERAGE
The topics covered by the journal but not limited to these are:
1. Communication Network Architectures:
New design contributions on Local Area Networks (LANs),
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs),
Wide Area Networks (WANs)
including Wired, Wireless, Mobile, Cellular, Sensor,
Optical, IP, ATM, and other related network technologies,
as well as new switching technologies and the integration of
various networking paradigms.
2. Communication Network Protocols:
New design contributions on all protocol layers
except the Physical Layer, considering
all types of networks mentioned above and their
performance evaluation; novel protocols, methods and algorithms related to,
e.g., medium access control, error control, routing, resource
discovery, multicasting, congestion and flow control, scheduling,
multimedia quality of service, as well as protocol specification,
testing and verification.
3. Network Services and Applications:
Web, Web caching, Web performance,
Middleware and operating
system support for all types of
networking, electronic commerce, quality of service,
new adaptive applications, and multimedia services.
4. Network Security and Privacy:
Security protocols,
authentication, denial of service, anonymity, smartcards,
intrusion detection,
key management, viruses and other malicious
codes, information flow, data integrity, mobile code and agent security.
5. Network
Operation and Management:
Including network pricing,
network system software, quality of service,
signaling protocols, mobility
management, power management and power
control algorithms, network planning, network dimensioning,
network reliability, network
performance measurements, network
modeling and analysis, and overall system management.
6. Discrete Algorithms and Discrete Modeling
Algorithmic and discrete aspects in the context of
computer networking as well as mobile and
wireless computing and communications.
Fostering cooperation among practitioners and theoreticians
in this field.
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS CONSIDERED
The primary purpose of the journal is to publish original and complete
papers covering a specific topic or project
in the above mentioned
areas in sufficient detail
and depth to be of practical use to interested readers.
The readers should benefit from the novel solutions
and analyses presented in the papers.
Enhanced, extended versions of quality papers presented at conferences or workshops
can be submitted
to our journal for review.
Note that papers which were already published with the
same contents or simultaneous submission of the same
paper to other journals or conferences
will not be considered for publication in our journal and
will be immediately rejected.
REVIEW
PROCEDURE
All submitted papers are processed by the Area Editors
on the Editorial Board within their specialized areas.
The area
editors collect a minimum of two detailed and
constructive referee reports
and decide about the outcome and inform the authors.
The
referee reports are fully considered by the Area Editors
in selecting the papers for publication.
The names of referees are not divulged
to the authors.
However, the referee reports are provided to the authors
to assist them in revising their papers accordingly.
