  - Special Section on Network Resource Control and Management Technologies for 
Sustainable Social Information Infrastructure -

The IEICE Transactions on Communications announces that it will publish a 
special section entitled "Special Section on Network Resource Control and 
Management Technologies for Sustainable Social Information Infrastructure" in 
the April 2020 issue.
   To realize the "Industry, innovation and infrastructure" and "Sustainable 
cities and communities" adopted as the parts of the SDGs (Sustainable 
Development Goals), the achievement of "Society 5.0" concept, which brings us 
the broad range of innovations resulting from the data-driven cooperation 
between various services and industries, is essential. For this achievement, 
since the amount of traffic transmitted in several kinds of networks increases 
significantly and the traffic pattern also becomes more diversified than ever, 
it is indispensable to build up a new sustainable social information 
infrastructure network that can accommodate such huge and diversified traffic, 
while providing the flexibility, the robustness, and the intelligence for 
dealing with all kinds of situation. Therefore, emerging new network resource 
control and management technologies that can utilize in the wide range of 
environments such as wireless access networks, wireless core networks, 
substrate networks, and cloud networks, are expected. Theoretical performance 
analysis, simulation/emulation experiments, and experimental evaluations are 
also important to deploy the promising technologies for sustainable social 
information infrastructure.
   Besides, in welcoming the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic, a special 
section is being planned (scheduled to appear in the April 2020 issue) to 
further promote the above-mentioned researches and technologies for sustainable 
social information infrastructure. We thus call publications to discuss and 
develop the network resource control and management technologies including not 
only the emerging technical fields such as AI/Machine-Learning, IoT/IoE (IoX), 
5G, Mobile Edge/Fog Computing, 
network virtualization/softwarization/programmability, 
optical transport network, wireless access/core network, and 
infrastructure/cloud network, but also the promising application fields such as 
big data, cooperation in different fields, and utilization of data.

- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Machine Learning (ML)
- Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/IoE: IoX)
- 5th Generation (5G)
- Fog Computing
- Multi/Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)
- Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
- Network Programmability
- Software-Defined-Network (SDN)
- Network Slicing
- Network Softwarization
- Microservice Architecture/API
- Energy-Efficient/Green Network
- Big Data
- Data Utilization
- Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC)
- Cross Field Cooperation
- Wireless Access/Core Network
- Network Infrastructure
- Cloud Networking
- Optical Network Architecture
- Mobile Networks
- Security/Privacy
- Information/Content Centric Networking (ICN/CCN)
- Performance Analysis/Simulation/Experiment

2. Submission Instructions
The standard number of pages is 8. The page charges are considerably higher for 
extra pages. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guideline in the 
"Information for Authors." The latest version is available at the web site, 
http://www.ieice.org/eng/shiori/mokuji_cs.html .
The term for revising the manuscript after acknowledgement of conditional 
acceptance for this special section could be shorter than that for regular 
issues (60 days) because of the tight review schedule.
   This special section will accept papers only by electronic submission.
Submit a manuscript and electronic source files (LaTeX/Word files, figures, 
authors' photos and biographies) via the IEICE Web site 
https://review.ieice.org/regist/regist_baseinfo_e.aspx
by 13th May 2019 (JST). 
Authors should choose the "Network Resource Control and Management Technologies 
for Sustainable Social Information Infrastructure" as a "Journal/Section" on 
the online screen. Do not choose [Regular EB].
