<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">We are rapidly moving towards a converged network where smart phones,
TVs, and computers all use the Internet Protocol (IP) to communicate through
and with the Cloud. The design of the Internet is evolving as well. In the
past, there was little intelligence in the network. Instead intelligence was
built into applications at the edge of the network. We are now in the process
of seeing a major transformation of the telecom ecosystem.</p>

addition of intelligence to the network to support:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">We invite papers for this special issue that propose technical solutions
in these domains or that explore the business, organizational, and legal
ramifications of this coming transformation of the telecom/Internet ecosystem. We
are also interested in case studies of instances where intelligence has been
added to the network including instances of the adoption of IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Submissions can be in the form of a research paper, a review article, a
short research communication, letter, or book review.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">We invite you to submit your manuscripts to <a href="mailto:William.Foster@IMACST.com">William.Foster@IMACST.com</a> for
publication. Our objective is to complete the review process and inform authors
of the decision on their manuscript(s) within 6 weeks. Instructions for authors
are available <a href="http://imacst.com/index.php?p=1_10">here</a>.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span style="">Open Access Initiative</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><span style=""> </span>One key request of researchers
across the world is unrestricted access to research publications. Open access
gives a worldwide audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal
and thus increases the visibility and impact of published works. It also
enhances indexing, retrieval power and eliminates the need for permissions to
reproduce and distribute content. IMACST is fully committed to the <a href="http://www.soros.org/openaccess/index.shtml">Open Access Initiative</a>
and will provide free access to all articles as soon as they are published. There
is a 600 Euro publication fee if your research paper is accepted for
publication.</span></p>
