CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL ISSUE ON "THE NEW INTERNET ARCHITECTURE "

Submission deadline: 30th September 2001
Target publication deadline: May 2002.

The evolution  of the  Internet is  at a  turning point.  During these
latest years, it  has grown exponentially based on  the IP best-effort
paradigm. However, it  is well accepted that, in its  evolution in the
21st century, the deployment of QoS-aware technologies is a key factor
for the continued success of the Internet.

Some  advances  in this  direction  have  already been  provided  with
the  introduction  of  the   Integrated  Services  and  Differentiated
Services models by  the IETF. Also the Multi  Protocol Label Switching
(MPLS)  technique  is  an  important way  of  traffic  engineering  IP
networks. At  the infrastructure  level, the deployment  of Wavelength
Division  Multiplexing  (WDM) systems  is  creating  a huge  transport
capacity, which  will significantly help the  running of QoS-sensitive
applications on the Internet.

Despite these advances, a significant number of issues still remain to
be solved at  the architectural level. Among others,  they are related
to admission control and resource  allocation policies in the network,
adequate  user signalling  protocols, network  management systems  for
large  numbers of  users and  security.  It is  expected that,  having
in  place  the adequate  infrastructure  and  protocols, high  quality
real-time  applications can  run on  the Internet  without significant
interference from conventional data traffic.

This special issue looks for  original research and review papers that
present the most  recent proposals and results  towards the definition
of this new Internet architecture.  The areas of interest include, but
are not limited to the following:

-	MPLS and Traffic engineering in IP networks
-	Architectures supporting IP over an optical infrastructure
-	Evolution of routing protocols for multicast
-	Strategies for the introduction of IPv6
-	Evolution of mobile networks for an "All IP" solution
-	Mobile ad-hoc IP networks
-	Interworking aspects
-	Approaches for introducing QoS in the Internet
-	Support of real time services in the Internet
-	Internet security
-	Internet operations and management
-	Results from advanced pilot IP networks.

Authors  are  encouraged  to  submit  original  papers  not  exceeding
twenty  double-spaced  pages.  All  manuscripts  will  be  subject  to
the  standard review  process of  the Journal  of Computer  Networking
and   Telecommunications.  The   web   address  of   the  Journal   is
.

Prospective authors should submit postscript  or PDF versions of their
papers  electronically to  one of  the guest  editors. Authors  should
state clearly that their papers are  for the Special Issue on "The New
Internet Architecture".
