IEEE Communications Magazine
Network & Service Management Series
The series on Network and Service Management is published twice a year,
with issues appearing in April and October. The series intends to
provide 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 provide 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
tutorial nature, written in a style comprehensible to readers outside
the speciality of Network and Service Management. This series therefore
complements the newly established IEEE Transactions on Network & Service
Management (eTNSM) ‹ http://www.comsoc.org/etnsm/. 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. IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of
readers from both academia and industry. The magazine has also been
ranked the number one telecommunications journal according to the ISI
citation database for year 2000, and the number three for year 2001. The
published papers will also be available on-line through Communications
Magazine Interactive, the WWW edition of the magazine. Details about
IEEE Communications Magazine can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/ci/. Please submit you manuscript for review through Manuscript Central (http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/). Select "Network & Service Management Series" from the drop down menu on the submission page.
