CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Network Science
========================================================================
IEEE Network magazine is seeking tutorial and state-of-the-art summaries
on the application of network science to the communications sector,
including wired, wireless, Internet, financial, and special-purpose
systems such as GPS or military networks.

Of particular interest to this special issue are papers on webgraph
analysis of networks, social network applications in security and privacy
of communication networks, economic and game theoretic approaches to
communications and networks, exploring centrality measures such as
clustering and betweenness, studies of emergence properties of real
networks such as self-organized criticality, algorithms for navigating
peer-peer networks and mapping topology, architectures and activities of
networks in general, modeling the spread of viral epidemics, analyzing
chaotic behavior, methods for network control and optimization with
predictable outcomes, and describing tools and techniques used in the
design and analysis of networks.

SCOPE:
This special issue will highlight the state-of-the-art research in
network science. We welcome tutorial type papers as well as papers
describing new research activities. All papers should be understandable
and appealing to the general audience. Authors are requested to keep in
mind that IEEE Network is a magazine. Submitted papers should contain a
substantial amount of tutorial content and minimal mathematics. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Webgraph analysis of networks
* Resilience and vulnerabilities of network infrastructures
* Emergence properties of real networks
* Peer-to-peer network topologies
* Epidemic spread models
* Tools and techniques to design and analyze networks
* Inference and analysis of social networks
* Social network applications to security and privacy in communication
networks
* Game theoretic approaches to communications and networks

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION:
Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to
readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors must follow the
IEEE Network magazine guidelines regarding the manuscript and its format.
For details, please refer to the "Guidelines for manuscripts" at the IEEE
Network web site at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html.
Manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format with a separate cover
letter, which contains the paper title, authors, affiliations, complete
contact information (indicating the primary contact author), a 250-word
abstract, and 3-5 keywords, via e-mail to one of the guest editors.
Papers outside of the scope of this special issue will be rejected;
authors uncertain about the relevance of their paper should inquire with
the guest editors before submission.

SCHEDULE:
Paper submissions by................May 15, 2010
Author notifications................August 1, 2010
Final manuscripts...................September 1, 2010
Publication date....................November 2010
