The Croatian Communication and
Information Society (CCIS), the
Sister Society of the IEEE ComSoc, in
cooperation with University of Split launchs the
Journal of Communication Software and
Systems (JCOMSS). JCOMSS journal fosuses
on high-quality, internationally reviewed
papers, that advance the state-of-art and
applications in communications software
engineering and communications systems
particularly including new techniques, reports
on experiments with analysis of performances,
and prototypes. The subjects covered by this
journal include all aspects in communications
software and systems in wired and wireless
ommunications and multimedia technologies.
Technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE
ComSoc is expected

Guidelines for Authors
Authors wishing to submit papers should send an electronic version (postscript or PDF files ONLY) with a separate
cover letter, which contains the paper title, authors with affiliations, and a 200-word abstract. Journal papers should
be concisely written and be no longer than 20 double-spaced pages (12-point font, approximately 26 lines per page
with 16.5 cm/6.5-inch line length) excluding figures. Papers must have no more than a total of ten figures and tables.
It is essential that each manuscript be accompanied by a 75- to 200-word abstract clearly outline the scope and
contributions of the paper and a list of up to five index terms.
All papers must be written in English. Introductory discussion should be kept at a minimum, and material published
elsewhere should be referenced rather than reproduced or paraphrased. Authors should strive for maximum clarity
of expression, bearing in mind that the purpose of publication is the dissemination of technical knowledge and that
an excessively complex or poorly written presentation can only obscure the significance of the work described. Care
should be taken in the organization of the paper, such that a logical and consistent progression of thought is evident.
It is strongly suggested that theorems, derivations, calculations, and other elements of a paper which are not
essential to the continuity of the text be placed in Appendices. Authors with language difficulties should, whenever
possible, obtain the assistance of a colleague fluent in English before submitting a manuscript for publication.
Paper submission
All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Please use the
EDAS Journal Management System to manage paper submissions.
