IJCIA Special Issue Call For Papers
Topic: Nature Inspired Approaches to Networks and Telecommunications
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS (IJCIA)
SPECIAL ISSUE ON
NATURE-INSPIRED APPROACHES TO NETWORKS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
(http://www.cercia.ac.uk/news/events/IJCIA_Special_Issue.htm)
======================================================= SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15, 2004
Guest Editors:
Dr. Yong Xu, Dr. Sancho Salcedo-Sanz, and Prof. Xin Yao
*Aim*
The rapid growth of telecommunication networks and technologies, as well as their applications, has led to a massive amount of design and other problems, difficult to be solved by traditional methods. The newly emergent computational heuristics inspired by nature are an appealing option, as they have provided very good results for tackling these problems. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Applications (IJCIA) will focus on the application of nature-inspired approaches to telecommunication/networking problems, and would be a forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present their state-of-the-art research results on this topic. High-quality contributions are solicited. Contributed papers must be the original work of the authors and should not have been published or under consideration by other journals.
*Scopes*
* *
Contributed papers should be relevant to the applications of any kind of nature-inspired approaches, e.g., evolutionary algorithm, ant colony optimisation, particle swarms, tabu search, simulated annealing, etc., to problems in telecommunication systems. Topics of interest include, but are not be limited to:
- *General Network Design Problems*
o Physical Topology Design Problems
o Survivability and Reliability
o Quality of Service
o Protection and Restoration
o Network Management
o Congestion Control
o Simulation and Queuing Models
- *Optical networks*
o Routing and wavelength assignment
o Traffic grooming
o Placement of wavelength converters
o Placement of optical amplifiers
o Protection and Restoration on Optical Layer
- *Fixed Networks Design Problems*
- *Cellular and Wireless Networks*
- *Satellite Communications Networks*
- *Other Topics*
o Ad Hoc networks
o Bluetooth/Personal Area Networks
o IP/WDM
o GMPLS and MPLS
o Internet Applications

*The IJCIA Journal*
The International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Applications, IJCIA, is a refereed journal dedicated to the theory and applications of computational intelligence (artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation and hybrid systems). The main goal of this journal is to provide the scientific community and industry with a vehicle whereby ideas using two or more conventional and computational intelligence based techniques could be discussed. For more information about the journal, please visit the journal’s website at http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcia/ijcia.shtml.
