The Journal of High Speed Networks cordially invites the submission of technical manuscripts on topics within the scope of the Journal, which is listed below. The Journal is published quarterly. It serves as an archive for papers describing original results of lasting significance in both the theory and practice of high speed networks.

Contributions may be in one of the following categories: papers on original research, survey papers on topics of current interest, technical notes, and short communications to report progress on long-term project.

All submissions to the Journal must be in English and based on original research of some fundamental significance. The paper must not be published or submitted for publication elsewhere, although part of the paper may have been published in conference proceedings. A manuscript largely based on a conference paper must be so identified. It is expected that the author(s) have obtained necessary approval or clearance prior to submitting the paper. All submissions to the Journal will be reviewed by competent referees and are considered on the basis of their technical correctness, contribution, novelty, readability and usefulness to the Journal's readership.

A soft copy of the manuscript should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief via e-mail to jhsn@csee.umbc.edu. In case of multiple authors, one of the authors should be designated as the author for all correspondence. The designated author should inform the Editor-in-Chief of any change in address.
