IEICE 2012 - IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems Special Section on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networking

Call for Papers
― Special Section on Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networking ―
The IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems announces a forthcoming Special Section on “Parallel and
Distributed Computing and Networking” to be published in December, 2012. The objective of this special section is to publish
and overview recent progress in the interdisciplinary area of Parallel and Distributed Computing and Networking. This special
section will include papers based on the presentation at the First International Conference on Networking and Computing
(ICNC’11) and papers applied for this call for papers. All submitted papers are subjected to the same review process as those
papers accepted for publication in the regular issues.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
a. Algorithms and Applications (e.g., Parallel/distributed algorithms, Data mining and web mining algorithms, Image
processing and computer graphics, and Bioinformatics),
b. Hardware and Architectures (e.g., Parallel computing systems, Cluster computing, Grid computing systems, Reconfigurable
architecture, and Network architecture),
c. Distributed Systems and Networking (e.g., Interconnection and computer networks Ubiquitous computing systems, P2P
networks, and Wireless networks and mobile computing),
d. Software Systems and Technologies (e.g., Web services and Internet computing, Agent technologies, Distributed Operating
systems, and Parallelizing compilers).
Guideline for paper submission:
a. The recommended page length is 8 printed pages for a paper, and 2 printed pages for a letter. In preparing the manuscript,
authors should be subjected to the Information for Authors on IEICE Transactions, which describes the standard format of
papers. Information for Authors is available through WWW page http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/ .
b. Submit a paper using the IEICE Web site https://review.ieice.org/regist_e.aspx by December 22, 2011. The acceptable
format of the file is PDF file. Authors should choose the "[Special-ED] Parallel and Distributed Computing" as a "Type of
Issue (Section)/ Transactions" on the online screen. Do not choose "[Regular-ED] Information and Systems" or other special
sections.
c. Send “Copyright Transfer and Page Charge Agreement” and “Confirmation Sheet of Manuscript Registration” to the
following contact person by E-mail, FAX or postal mail by January 10, 2012. Please do not forget to send "Copyright
