The International Journal of Communication Systems provides a forum for
R&D, open to researchers from all types of institutions and organisations
worldwide, aimed at the increasingly important area of communication
technology. The Journal's emphasis is particularly on the issues impacting
behaviour at the system, service and management levels. Published eight
times ayear, it provides coverage of advances that have a significant
potential to impact the immense technical and commercial opportunities in
the communications sector. The International Journal of Communication
Systems strives to select a balance of contributions that promotes
technical innovation allied to practical relevance across the range of
system types and issues.

The Journal addresses both public communication systems
(Telecommunication, mobile, Internet, and Cable TV) and private systems
(Intranets, enterprise networks, LANs, MANs, WANs). The following key
areas and issues are regularly covered:

     Transmission/Switching/Distribution technologies (ATM, SDH, TCP/IP,
	routers, DSL, cable modems, VoD, WDM, etc.) 
     System control, network/service management 
     Network and Internet protocols and standards 
     Client-server, distributed and Web-based communication systems 
     Broadband and multimedia systems and applications, with a focus on
	increased service variety and interactivity 
     Trials of advanced systems and services; their implementation and
	evaluation 
     Novel concepts and improvements in technique; their theoretical basis
	and performance analysis using
     measurement/testing, modelling and simulation 
     Performance evaluation issues and methods. 

The Journal has a prime remit to publish first-class original papers
providing in-depth analysis of R&D work, and Special Issuesare produced
each year that comprise many papers focusing on a particular theme. A
further crucial role for the Journal is toenable the reader to identify
emerging principles and trends in the communications arena. Papers that
will cross-fertilisation between disciplines are encouraged. Case studies
that describe practical applications of communication technologies are
welcomed. Tutorial and review articles will also be featured on a regular
basis.

Available by subscription only.
