*Future Internet Architectures: Design and Deployment Perspectives*

http://dl.comsoc.org/ci1/info/cfp/cfpcommag0711.htm

The evolution of the Internet is one of the most intriguing and magnificent
engineering feats in the history of technological innovations. The Internet
mirrors and enhances all aspects of our lives, by creating unprecedented
opportunities for advancing knowledge in all fields of human activities.
However, the 21st century society's needs may not be met by the current
trajectory of incremental changes to the current Internet. Furthermore, the
continued success of the Internet is increasingly threatened by increased
and sophisticated security attacks and by the lack of performance
reliability of Internet services. Therefore, the research community
worldwide is engaged in exploring new architectures and solutions for the
future Internet.

The goal of this special issue is to feature diverse architectural design
ideas for the future Internet based on a broad spectrum of design
perspectives, motivations for change, and sound design principles. While
research on future Internet design has been underway over the last several
years, it is particularly challenging to be able to bridge the gap between
pure academic pursuit and affecting real technological contribution through
actual deployment.

*Scope*
This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims
to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in research and
technology for "Future Internet", and present a holistic view of research
challenges and opportunities in the coming Internet era. Original research
on overarching architectures for the future Internet with deployment plans
is solicited. Suggested topics include but not limited to the following:

   * Requirement modeling of future Internet services/applications
   * Service oriented architectures for the future Internet
   * Security architectures for the future Internet
   * Energy efficient protocol/architecture designs
   * Future Internet devices
   * Economic Models for the future architectures and solutions
   * Mobility in future Internet, effects of wireless and location awareness
   * Role of network virtualization and cloud computing
   * Future Internet and its social benefits
   * Management, tools, and regulations
   * Quality of Services
   * Standardizations, policies and legislation
   * Cyber-physical, where the digital and real lives overlap
   * Flexibility and Programmability

*Submission Guidelines*
Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must
follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the
manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at
