ICST Transactions on Emerging Internet Infrastructures
Scope:
The nature of and requirements for network infrastructure are changing rapidly. Traditional data networks are evolving to accommodate dramatically increased loads, ever expanding geographic extent, and more demanding quality of service requirements for increasingly heterogeneous traffic. Revolutionary network infrastructures are emerging to enable mobile users, ubiquitous computing, the “Internet of Things,” and other applications. The ICST Transactions on Emerging Internet Infrastructures seeks to publish high-quality papers that represent important theoretical and experimental contributions to network infrastructure research. The journal’s focus is on innovative architectures, services, and protocols for emerging network infrastructures that have broad, general use or that are constrained and informed by specific constraints of underlying communications technology or requirements of specific application domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, infrastructures for high-performance networks; network infrastructures for quality of service; security and assurance for network infrastructures; tools and methods for large-scale network management; novel network infrastructures for developing economies; community network infrastructures; rapidly-deployed network infrastructures for military and disaster response; robust and secure public safety and military network infrastructures; core network services and protocols for mesh and ad-hoc wireless networks; airborne and satellite-based network infrastructures; network infrastructures for large-scale cyber-physical systems; infrastructures for vehicular networks; infrastructures for large-scale sensor networks; infrastructures for ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things; virtualization of infrastructure; network test beds; simulation and other methods and tools for the design and analysis of network infrastructures; and network science for network infrastructures.
Papers that report on the creation of novel network test beds and research tools, present results from rigorous test bed and simulation experiments, and describe the novel integration of research and education are of particular interest. The journal strongly encourages and facilitates the open sharing of models, code, and data to ensure rigor in experimental research and to catalyze experimental and data-driven research in the network infrastructure research community.
