Scalability, Programmability, and Virtualization in the Internet
The scalable Internet presents challenges and paradoxes. Scalable and
malleable services leverage stateless distributed control over the
global address space. Transport bindings nevertheless influence service
behavior through the control of access, the logical flow of information,
as well as the availability of diverse content. Such systems challenge
the traditional traffic engineering methods for allocation of buffers
and assignment of resources. The Internet Technology series of the IEEE
Communications Magazine is calling for original tutorial papers about
these challenges and their resolution, and suggest the following topics
o Scalability - the Internet Interdomain Routing Protocols and BGP
o Clouds (native IP) vs. strings (MPLS) - Internet evolution choices
o Programmable routers - architectures and services
o Instantiation and Virtualization - IP services providing concrete
capabilities through the structuring of resources.
o Virtualization of the transport service layers - such as pervasive
virtual private networks
o Internet services - multilevel and location-aware mobile services,
including voice over IP (VoIP)
The IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of
Communications Society members. The papers will be available on the
Internet through Communications Magazine Interactive, the WWW edition
of the magazine. Details about IEEE Communications Magazine are online
at http://www.comsoc.org/ci/.
The online site includes articles selected from Internet Technology
Series, published in the January 2001 and July 2001 IEEE Communications
Magazine.

Article Style Information
=========================
Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
Articles may be edited for content, and will be copyedited for
compliance with the magazine's style guidelines. Page proofs will be
sent to the contact author for final review prior to publication.
Mathematical equations should not be used unless they are vital to the
presentation. Even then, they should be kept to a minimum. If the
article has numerous equations, please contact the editor handling the
manuscript.
References should be included only to guide readers to more information
on the topic; the reference list should not include every available
source (a limit of ten references is recommended). Use footnotes only
where necessary.
Articles should not exceed 4500 words.
Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. If the
article exceeds these recommended limits, please contact the editor
handling the manuscript.
Submission
Electronic submission of manuscripts as PDF or Postscript is required.
Please send your submission to both series editors:
Khaled Elsayed: khaled@ieee.org
Michah Lerner: michah@ieee.org
