Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJAACS is a top venue for high quality research that advances state-of-the-art contributions addressing foundational, engineering and technological aspects of communications systems exhibiting emergent and adaptive behaviour. IJAACS encourages contributions aimed at supporting the understanding, development, and control of such communication systems based on sound theoretical models, including but not limited to bio-inspired, natural computing, game theory and economic models. IJAACS spans complexity, self-adaptation, autonomic communication, ambient intelligence, and multi-agent systems.

Many current communication systems and infrastructures, such as the World Wide Web, Peer-2-Peer systems and ad hoc wireless and sensor networks, have the characteristic of being decentralised, pervasive and composed of a large number of autonomous entities. Frequently, communication systems deployed on such infrastructures need to run in highly dynamic environments, where content, network topologies and work loads are continuously changing. Adaptation thus becomes a key feature of a system's behaviour.

In addition, such communication systems involve a social dimension; for example, the entities within such communication systems can engage in interactions, discover suitable other participants, negotiate, and perform transactions. In certain cases, the complexity of the communication system is such that no centralised or hierarchical control is possible. These characteristics are similar to those which one finds in self-organising systems seen in nature, such as physical, biological and social systems.

 Go Top  Objectives
The objectives of IJAACS are to address research being undertaken by an interdisciplinary research computing community – and to provide a common platform under which this work can be published and disseminated. It will lead to the emergence of the desired global result: intelligent communication systems. IJAACS provides a high-quality platform for this purpose.

 Go Top  Readership

  • Professors and graduate students in telecommunications, computer science, information technology, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, mathematics, biology, chemistry, social sciences, in universities, colleges, and research laboratories
  • Researchers, engineers and managers in industry

 Go Top  Contents

IJAACS will publish research contributions that significantly advance the state-of-the-art research in this area. Articles reporting the practical applications of different theoretical approaches will be of particular interest to IJAACS. Good quality survey articles will also be of interest to the journal.
