Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today's computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms.

Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:


Emerging technologies for next generation network
LAN/WAN/MAN
Future Internet architecture, protocols and services
Content- and service-centric architecture
Mobile and ubiquitous networks
Self organizing/autonomic networking
Green networking
Internet content search
QoS and multimedia networking
Opportunistic networking
On-line social networks
Internet of things
Public safety communication networks
Network applications (web, multimedia streaming, VoIP, gaming, etc.)
Trust, security and privacy in computer and communication networks
Modeling, measurement and simulation
Complex network models
Internet socio-economic models
Experimental test-beds and research platforms
Algorithmic aspects of communication networks
