Call for Papers

Regular Series on Emerging Technologies

The Emerging Technologies Series of the IEEE Communications Magazine was initiated by the Communications Society’s Emerging Technologies Committee (ETC) in December 2002. ETC is a standing committee of the Society whose role is to identify and describe new technology directions of interest to society members and the community at large. Articles published so far in the Emerging Technologies Series have been authored or co-authored by members of the ETC who are leaders in their respective fields. The editors of the Communications Magazine feel that in addition to the ETC members, there are many highly qualified authors who have unique insight in different emerging technology areas that would be of great interest to our community. With this in mind, we invite all society members and other professionals to submit novel and original articles to the Emerging Technologies Series in future issues. Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Articles will be reviewed by the series editor and expert reviewers for inclusion in the magazine. Articles must be received at least four months prior to publication. The following is a non-exhaustive list of the topics for the Emerging Technologies Series:

• Trends and emerging technologies in communications technologies and systems
• Trends and emerging techniques in communications theory
• Trends and emerging technologies for the Internet
• Trends and emerging technologies in optical networking
• Trends and emerging technologies in wireless technologies and systems
• Trends and emerging technologies in networked multimedia and its applications
• Trends and emerging technologies in consumer and home networking
• Trends and emerging technologies in security and high confidence systems
• New approaches in fundamental limits in optical and wireless spectrum utilization
• Trends and new directions in circuits and systems technologies
• Nanotechnologies and their applications in communications
• Quantum computing and its applications in communications
• Quantum cryptography and its applications
• Impact of bio-medical advances in communications
• Impact of new communications technologies in bio-medical applications
• New approaches to network and systems management
• Major field trials and systems demos in new technology areas

Manuscripts must be submitted through the magazine's submissions Web site at: http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/. You will need to register and then proceed to the author center. On the manuscript details page, please select Emerging Technologies Series from the drop-down menu.
