Computer Communications

Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today''s computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms. Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.

Computer and Communications是信息社会的关键基础设施，具有很高的社会经济价值，因为它们有助于许多关键服务（从医疗保健到金融和交通）的正确运行。互联网是当今计算机通信基础设施的核心。这已经将互联网从一个用于计算机之间数据传输的强大网络转变为一个全球性的、内容丰富的通信和信息系统，其中内容越来越多地由用户生成，并根据人类社会关系进行分发。因此，需要下一代网络技术、架构和协议来克服传统互联网的限制并添加新的功能和服务。未来的互联网应该是无处不在的、安全的、有弹性的、更接近人类通信范式的。
