Call for Papers Special Issue on Cross-layer Innovations Optical Switching and Networking (OSN), Elsevier http://www.journals.elsevier.com/optical-switching-and-networking/ ============================= Full article submission: April 30, 2012 Publication date: First Quarter of 2013 ============================= Aim and Scope: -------------------- >From the initial concept of shaping information in a single packet and >forwarding it throughout a network of geographically distributed nodes, the >Internet has evolved into a more sophisticated network infrastructure >supporting multiple network technologies and new users' requirements, all >governed by providers and operators agreements and business relationships. >Over the years, the continuous technological evolution and the development of >new Internet services and applications have steered networking research >towards the foundations of what is usually referred to as the Future Internet. >Traditionally, the scientific community has progressively split into groups >working on the upper network layers (namely, layer 3 and up) and those >tackling the infrastructure, a.k.a. "transport" layer (namely, layers 1 and >2). This split often resulted in decoupled, isolated and hence >far-from-optimal contributions. There is a wide consensus nowadays that >cross-layer interaction and coordination is fundamental for the proper >architectural design of the Future Internet. Consequently, the design of the >Future Internet calls for innovations on cross-layer approaches for either >improving or replacing altogether currently deployed network protocols and >systems. This is the scope of this special issue. Topics of Interest: ----------------------- The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - Cross-layer architectural design - Novel cross-layer management paradigms - Novel cross-layer control strategies - Novel cross-layer operation models - Cross-layer strategies for coordinated post-failure procedures - Cross-layer approaches for routing and resource allocation - Cross layer reliability, survivability and QoS - CAPEX and OPEX impact - Regulations, policies, business models and economics - Testbeds and field trials Submission instructions: --------------------------------- The authors can submit their papers to the issue by clicking "article type" and choosing the title "SI: Cross-Layer Innovations" from the drop down menu.
