Call for Papers Computer Networks Journal – Special Issue Architectures and Protocols for the Future Internet The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, the architecture has been losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes ofapplications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablersand operational and management requirements have given rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regard to its original design principles. Consequently, the research community has been actively looking for newapproaches to evolve or supersede the Internet architecture. Substantial academic efforts in Europe, the Americas and Asia, as well as within thevendor and network operator communities have resulted in promising proposals to address the limitations of the current Internet architecture. This special issue of the Computer Networks Journal solicits original, high-quality papers that present, analyze and discuss revolutionary "clean slate" or evolutionary "dirty slate" Internet architectures,"future-proofing" improvements to current Internet protocols, especiallyat the internetworking, routing, transport and application layers, or new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture. Related topics, such as measurement studies or mathematical models that analyze and quantify Internet scalability issues, studies into architectural design principles that enable evolution, interworking technologies with the existing Internet, and others are also within the scope of the special issue. About the Computer Networks Journal Computer Networks is a scientific journal of computer and telecommunications networking published by Elsevier. Computer Networks is an international, archival journal providing a publication vehiclefor complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in thecomputer communications networking area. The audience includesresearchers, managers and operators of networks as well as designers andimplementors.
