The International Journal of Communication Systems provides a forum for R&D, open to researchers from all types of institutions and organisations worldwide, aimed at the increasingly important area of communication technology. The Journal's emphasis is particularly on the issues impacting behaviour at the system, service and management levels. Published twelve times a year, it provides coverage of advances that have a significant potential to impact the immense technical and commercial opportunities in the communications sector. The International Journal of Communication Systems strives to select a balance of contributions that promotes technical innovation allied to practical relevance across the range of system types and issues.The Journal addresses both public communication systems (Telecommunication, mobile, Internet, and Cable TV) and private systems (Intranets, enterprise networks, LANs, MANs, WANs). The following key areas and issues are regularly covered:Transmission/Switching/Distribution technologies (ATM, SDH, TCP/IP, routers, DSL, cable modems, VoD, VoIP, WDM, etc.)System control, network/service managementNetwork and Internet protocols and standardsClient-server, distributed and Web-based communication systemsBroadband and multimedia systems and applications, with a focus on increased service variety and interactivityTrials of advanced systems and services; their implementation and evaluationNovel concepts and improvements in technique; their theoretical basis and performance analysis using measurement/testing, modelling and simulationPerformance evaluation issues and methods.The Journal has a prime remit to publish first-class original papers providing in-depth analysis of R&D work, and Special Issues are produced that comprise many papers focusing on a particular theme. A further crucial role for the Journal is to enable the reader to identify emerging principles and trends in the communications arena. Papers that will aid cross-fertilisation between disciplines are encouraged. Case studies that describe practical applications of communication technologies are welcomed. Tutorial and review articles will also be featured on a regular basis.

《國際通信系統雜志》為研發提供了一個論壇，面向全球各類機構和組織的研究人員開放，旨在研究通信技術日益重要的領域。期刊特別強調了影響系統、服務和管理層行為的問題。它每年出版十二次，提供對通信行業巨大的技術和商業機會有重大影響的進展的報道。《國際通信系統雜志》力求在促進技術創新方面做出平衡，這些創新與系統類型和問題范圍內的實際相關性有關。期刊報道了公共通信系統（電信、移動、互聯網和有線電視）和私有系統（內部網、企業網絡、局域網、城域網和廣域網）。定期討論以下關鍵領域和問題：傳輸/交換/分配技術（ATM、SDH、TCP/IP、路由器、DSL、電纜調制解調器、VOD、VOIP、WDM等）系統控制、網絡/服務管理網絡和互聯網協議和標準客戶服務器、分布式和基于Web的通信系統寬帶和多媒體系統和應用，重點是提高服務的多樣性和交互性先進系統和服務的試驗及其實施和評價技術上的新概念和改進；它們的理論基礎和使用測量/測試、建模和仿真的性能分析績效評估問題和方法。期刊的首要任務是出版一流的原創論文，對研發工作進行深入分析，并出版了許多專刊，其中包括許多關注特定主題的論文。《華爾街日報》的另一個重要作用是使讀者能夠識別傳播領域中新出現的原則和趨勢。鼓勵發表有助于各學科間交叉施肥的論文。歡迎介紹通信技術實際應用的案例研究。教程和評論文章也將定期推出。
