CALL FOR PAPERS FOR INTERNET COMPUTING IEEE Internet Computing is a new bimonthly magazine from the IEEE Computer Society designed to help the engineer productively use the ever expanding technologies and resources of the Internet. Internet Computing and IC on-line will provide the engineer with the latest developments in Internet-based computer applications and supporting technologies such as the World Wide Web, Java programming, and Internet-based agents. Through the use of peer-reviewed articles as well as essays, interviews, and roundtable discussions, IC will address the Internet's widening impact on engineering practice and society. Topics include system engineering issues such as mobile agents, agent message protocols, engineering ontologies, web scaling, intelligent search, on-line catalogs, distributed document authoring, electronic design notebooks, electronic libraries, security, remote instruction, distributed project management, reusable service access and validation, electronic commerce, and Intranets.
To submit a paper, send e-mail to Charles Petrie, Editor-in-Chief <petrie@cdr.stanford.edu>, or to any member of the editorial board listed on our web page <http://www.computer.org/pubs/internet/> giving a URL from which the paper can be viewed. Abstracts in plain ASCII can be sent in the body of an e-mail message. UPCOMING THEME ISSUES
Internet Computing is also seeking papers for the following theme issues: Scaling the Internet: Will the increased load on the Internet outstrip the growing bandwidth? Has it already? This issue will include an interview with Robert Metcalfe. Papers are solicited on software-based methods for increasing bandwidth and load leveling, case studies of high load sites, networking strategies, and general techniques relevant to developing and implementing applications that require large Internet data transfers and numbers of connections. Editorial Board Contact: Dr. Frank Maurer maurer@informatik.uni-kl.de http://wwwagr.informatik.uni-kl.de/~maurer/ Due date: November 15, 1996 Internet Project Coordination: How can the Internet be used to facilitate group projects when the individuals are not collocated, and may even be in different time zones? Solicited are not only articles about groupware but also those concerning structured approaches to coordinated engineering and scientific projects. Example approaches include the use of facilitator agents, ontologies, extended HTML tags, and integration of all of these with existing CAD tools. Case histories and studies are strongly encouraged. Editorial Board Contact: Miro Benda miro@atc.boeing.com Due date: January 15, 1997 Agents: What kinds of agents are performing useful work on the Internet? Papers should clearly define both the applications and technologies being used as well as the sense of "agent." Applications should be demonstrable. Issues include security, mobility, and agent communication languages. Claims about the efficacy of one approach or language should be supported by examples from applications. Editorial Board Contacts: Munindar Singh and Michael Huhns singh@ncsu.edu http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ huhns@sc.edu http://www.ece.sc.edu/faculty/Huhns/ Due date: March 15, 1997 Intranets: What special technologies are being developed inside companies to integrate applications into an Intranet? How heavily do Intranets use Internet facilities? Articles on integration, interfaces, security, and special purpose integration systems are solicited, as well as development histories and tools. Editorial Board Contact: William C. Regli regli@cme.nist.gov http://www.nist.gov/msidstaff/regli. html Due date: May 15 Internet Economics: What is the state of the art in Electronic Commerce? Who pays for the Internet? How do the economic policies of different countries affect the use of the Internet? Are economically motivated routing policies affecting Internet access for some groups? Papers on all these subjects and related ones should have a strong technical background. Both actual case studies as well as simulations are encouraged. Technologies for both studying and implementing economic policies as well as electronic commerce are relevant.
