The Journal of Interconnection Networks (JOIN)
The Journal of Interconnection Networks (JOIN) is a scientific
journal dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art of interconnection
networks.
The journal addresses all aspects of interconnection networks,including
their design, analysis, implementation, and application.
Original research articles, both theoretical and applied, are solicited.
The topics covered by this journal include (but are not limited
to):
-
(1) Network Structures and Topologies: multistage interconnection
networks; networks underlying parallel computers and digital signal
processors; VLSI layout theory; theoretical analysis of network
properties, including reliability, reconfigurability,
rearrangebility, fault-tolerance, and connectivity; algebraic
and combinatorial properties of networks.
-
(2) Routing and Scheduling: algorithms for routing and
scheduling the flow of traffic in networks; routing in
connection-oriented and connectionless networks; global
routing, area routing, hierarchical routing; channel routing;
load balancing; broadcast and multicast; routing in optical
interconnection networks, ATM networks, mobile networks, and ad
hoc networks; Internet routing protocols.
(3) Network Computing: application of interconnection networks
in computational domains. Parallel and distributed computing;
mapping and scheduling parallel computations; graph embeddings;
heterogeneous computing; networks of workstations (NOW);
networking modeling (e.g., the BSP and LogP models); Internet
computing.
-
(4) Network Design and Applications: integrated circuits; VLSI
layout of
interconnection networks; design of network backplanes for
heterogeneous
multicomputers; design of network architectures for
supercomputers and
parallel processing systems; design of wide-area-network
backbones; design
of survivable networks, design of optical networks; case
studies;
evaluation of communication networks including (but not
restricted to) LAN,
MAN, WAN, telephone systems, cable networks, ATM networks,
mobile
communication networks, satellite networks, and the Internet;
interoperability.
-
(5) Global Networking and Network Planning: modeling of network
traffic;
network management policy (call admission, bandwidth
allocation); network
caching; security.
