Networks and Systems Performance Journal
(Analysis, Evaluation, Applications, and Services)
AIMS AND SCOPE
This journal addresses performance evaluation techniques, analysis methods, and their
applications for wireless, wireline, and ad hoc communications and telecommunications
systems, networks, and their services. The primary goal of this journal is to bring to the
attention of the practitioners and researchers the spectrum of statistical, mathematical,
simulation, measurement, testing tools, and techniques. The different techniques and
their applications in traffic modeling, algorithmic design, and design of control
methodologies in communications systems, networks, and their services will be covered.
The journal will publish high quality, peer-reviewed papers. It will cover the entire
spectrum of topics from traffic modeling to control mechanisms in networks and systems.
The following topics are planned for inclusion:
