Due to multiple requests, we are extending the deadline for paper
submission to the special issue by a month to December 1, 2009.
In order for us to begin the review process, we would appreciate getting
the title and abstract of the intended submission earlier if feasible.
We request you to submit any relevant work to this special issue of IEEE
Network Magazine.
Apologies for any duplicate postings.

Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine, Special Issues on "Biologically
Inspired Networking"

Guest Editors:

Scope:
Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features
which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological
networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an
advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments,
adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple
structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication,
protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer
networking has many features which perform better than any biological
system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically
inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the
current state of the art in computer networks.
This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing
computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an
improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking.
The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability,
scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks. We welcome papers that
provide new architectures and insights, real-world experience in building
biological systems, theoretical advances in biological networks, and any
other area of bio-inspired improvements to computer networks. Any paper
that covers a technology which has a clear connection to a biological
system and a demonstrable advantage to computer networks will be
considered within scope.
We welcome both tutorial type papers, as well as papers describing new
research activities. Some of the topics of interest include:
Modeling of Biological Networks
Evolutionary systems and protocols
Biological Inspired Network Architectures
Homeostatic Control and its Applications
Neural Networks applications to Computer Networks
Self-healing systems and protocols
Biologically Inspired Security
Predator-Prey applications to computer networks
Performance evaluation of biologically inspired networks
Biologically inspired Network Topologies
Manuscript Submission:
This special issue will only consider electronic submissions in
the format of postscript, PDF, or MS WORD. To submit a paper for
consideration, authors should send your paper to one of the guest editors
via email. The paper should be included as an email attachment, or the
author may provide a URL where the file can be downloaded.
Indicate which author is to serve as the primary correspondence
contact.
Provide a contact list for all of the other authors. Please list
affiliations, mailing addresses, phone/fax numbers, and email addresses.
We will provide an acknowledgment of receipt of the paper within 24 hours
of submission.
