Call for Papers
IEEE Communications Magazine – Network and Service Management Series
Issue: July 2018 (submission deadline: December 15 2017)
**********************************************************************
Scope:
IEEE Communications Magazine has been publishing a series related to
Network and Service Management since 2005. The series appears twice
a year in January and July and provides articles on the latest
developments in this well-established and thriving discipline.
Published articles are expected to highlight recent research
achievements in this field and provide insight into theoretical and
practical issues related to the evolution of network and service
management from different perspectives. The series provides a forum
for the publication of both academic and industrial research,
addressing the state of the art, theory and practice in network and
service management. Both original research and review papers are
welcome, in the style expected for IEEE Communications Magazine.
Articles should be of partly tutorial nature, written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the speciality of Network and
Service Management. This series therefore complements the IEEE
Transactions on Network and Service Management (TNSM)
<http://www.comsoc.org/tnsm/>.
Topics:
General areas include but are not limited to:
– Management models, architectures and frameworks
– Network and service provisioning, reliability and quality assurance
– Management functions
– Management standards, technologies and platforms
– Management policies
– Applications, case studies and experiences
The above list is not exhaustive, with submissions related to
interesting ideas broadly related to network and service management
encouraged.
Author Information:
IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of readers
from both academia and industry and has an impact factor which is
amongst the highest in the field. The published papers will also be
available on-line through IEEE Xplore and Communications Magazine
Interactive, the WWW edition of the magazine. Details about IEEE
Communications Magazine can be found at <http://www.comsoc.org/commag/>.
Please submit you manuscript for review through Manuscript Central
(<http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/commag-ieee>). Select “Network &
Service Management Series” from the drop down menu on the submission
page.
Submissions must follow the general paper submission guidelines
(<http://www.comsoc.org/commag/paper-submission-guidelines>). Articles
should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the
article. Mathematical equations should not be used. References
should be included only to guide readers to more information on the
topic; the reference list should not include every available
source. A limit of 15 references is recommended. Articles should not
exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a
combined total of six. Submissions violating these rules
significantly will be returned to the authors without going through
the full review process.
