Aims and scope

The Journal of Network and Systems Management features peer-reviewed original research and case studies in the fields of network and systems management. The journal regularly disseminates significant new information on both the communication and computing aspects of these fields. This outstanding quarterly covers management of modern network and service technologies (e.g. 5G and beyond, Internet of Things, software-defined networks, high-precision networks, security, and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality services). The journal also covers emerging management paradigms (e.g. network function virtualization, edge/fog computing, network slicing, and in-band network telemetry) and new management-enabling technologies (such as deep learning and big data analysis). 

One can find a broader yet non-exhaustive list of topics of interest in the Taxonomy for the Network and Service Management Research Field, published in Journal of Network and Systems Management and created by the Committee of Network Operations and Management of the IEEE, and the Working Group 6.6 of the International Federation of Information Processing [1].
 
We highlight that the journal focuses on network and systems management. Therefore, manuscripts submitted to the journal are expected to cover management issues and solutions. Articles without this emphasis are out of the scope.
