IEICE/IEEE Joint Special Section on Autonomous Decentralized Systems
¡¡
The IEICE Transactions on Communications and
Transactions on Information and Systems announce a forthcoming IEICE/IEEE joint
special section on ¡°Autonomous Decentralized Systems¡± to be published in December
2005.
The Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS) have
technologically evolved in control systems, information systems, and
communication networks. It has been applied in many actual systems, and it has
progressed in standardization activities. IEICE and IEEE published joint
special sections on ¡°Autonomous Decentralized Systems¡¯ Assurance¡± in May 2000
and October 2001, cooperating the International Symposium on Autonomous
Decentralized Systems (ISADS). Assurance systems, which yields synergistic e®ects
by cooperation of heterogeneous systems, are widely noticed as new system
technology. ADS is expected to be promising as the core technology for
assurance systems. Recently, many research meetings on Assurance Systems have
been held such as High-Assurance Systems Engineering Symposium (HASE) and the
International Workshop on Assurance in Distributed Systems and Networks (ADSN).
Cooperation these meetings, IEICE and IEEE published a joint special section on
Assurance Systems and Networks in October 2003.
The objective of this Special Section is to discuss
new technologies in the field of Autonomous Decentralized System through papers.
The special section solicits paper submission not only from people who
presented new technologies in the International Symposium on Autonomous
Decentralized Systems (ISADS 2005) in April 2005 but also from people who are
interested in this field. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the
followings.
*For accepted papers of international
conferences, such as ISADS 2005, submissions of extended papers suitable for
this special section are welcome.
Scope:
- Autonomous decentralized systems / Autonomous
decentralized control;
- Information service system architecture;
- Mobile ad hoc networks / Sensor networks / P2P;
- Intelligent network / The Internet / Ubiquitous
network;
- Heterogeneous distributed information / control
systems;
- Mobile agents / computer-supported cooperative
works;
- Distributed software development and maintenance;
- Fault tolerance, on-line expansion and on-line
maintenance;
- Object management architecture / design pattern /
application framework;
- Novel applications: electronic commerce,
production systems, supply chain management, intelligent transport systems,
tra¡Àc
and transportation control, aerospace systems,
logistics systems, medical systems, electronic government, etc.
Submission Instructions:
The submitted papers will be reviewed by referees
according to the ordinary rules of the Editorial Committee. Manuscript should
be prepared according to the guideline in the ¡°Information for Authors¡±. The
latest version is available at the web site, http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji.html.
The length of the paper should be within 8 printed pages for a PAPER and 2 for a
LETTER in principle. The term for revising the manuscript after acknowledgement
of conditional acceptance for this special section could be shorter than that
for other issues (60 days) because of the tight review schedule. In this
special section, electronic submission is adopted. Prospective authors are
requested to follow carefully the submission process described below.
1. Submit papers using the IEICE Web site http://review.ieice.org/regist
e.wbt. The acceptable format of the file is
PDF. Other any files, e-mail submission, and postal
mail are NOT acceptable. Authors should choose the [Special-EB] or [Special-ED]
Autonomous Decentralized Systems as a ¡°Type of Issue (section) / Category
of Transactions¡± on the
online screen.
2. ¡°Copyright Transfer and Page Charge Agreement¡±
and ¡°Confirmation Sheet of Manuscript Registration¡± must be sent by postal mail
to the following address (the secretary of this section). Please mark
¡°IEICE/IEEE Joint Special Section on Autonomous Decentralized Systems¡± on the
envelop.
