CFP: IEEE JSAC: Internet and WWW measurement, mapping, and modeling

                              CALL FOR PAPERS
               IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications

             Internet and WWW measurement, mapping, and modeling
                   
      http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/internet.html

The Internet is capturing a central role in the social and economic
fabrics of the global structure. While it is growing at a remarkable
rate, there is no means by which users or network planners can track
this growth. Mapping the network, namely, taking a snapshot of its
current status, can help applications to better utilize the network.
Analyzing maps taken over long periods of time can help in understanding
how the Internet evolves. Understanding the Internet structure and 
evolution can help in designing and constructing better applications, 
and in the deployment of new network level services. 

The goal of this special issue is to examine the Internet structure and
the structure of its most profligate application, the WWW, and to
examine tools, methods, and instrumentations designed to map and
understand the Internet structure. In particular, we are interested in
original research contributions addressing the following issues: 


 * Internet and WWW structure modeling: 
empirical studies,
mathematical models,
topology generators.
 * Tools for mapping and measuring the Internet and the WWW:
discovery techniques,
measurement techniques,
measurement infrastructure,
visualization.
 * Effect of mapping and measurement on application performance: 
application-level routing,
network-adaptive applications,
group communication,
virtual topology construction.


Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered.
Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the
Information for Authors on the inside back cover of any issue of J-SAC. 

There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to
papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should
submit a PDF or PostScript version of their complete manuscript (which
should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 Mbyte) according to the
following timetable, to Yuval Shavitt (shavitt@eng.tau.ac.il). 

     Manuscript Submission:   August 18, 2002 
     Acceptance Notification: December 22, 2002
     Final Manuscript Due:    February 22, 2003
     Publication Date:        3rd Quarter 2003
