			       CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE Internet Computing is a new bimonthly magazine from the IEEE Computer
Society designed to help the engineer productively use the ever expanding
technologies and resources of the Internet. Internet Computing and IC on-line
will provide developers and users with the latest advances in Internet-based
computer applications and supporting technologies such as the World Wide Web,
Java programming, and Internet-based agents. Through the use of peer-reviewed
articles as well as essays, interviews, and roundtable discussions, IC will
address the Internet's widening impact on engineering practice and society.

IC is soliciting regular papers and papers for theme issues, including one on
agents.  To submit, send e-mail to any member of the editorial board.
Include a plain text abstract, and a URL from which the paper can be viewed.

Members of the editorial board are listed on the IC web page.  Author
guidelines are available at http://www.computer.org/pubs/internet/auguide.htm

Topics include system engineering issues such as agents, agent
message protocols, engineering ontologies, web scaling, intelligent
search, on-line catalogs, distributed document authoring, electronic
design notebooks, electronic libraries, security, remote instruction,
distributed project management, reusable service access and validation,
electronic commerce, and Intranets.

			    UPCOMING THEME ISSUES
                      ------------------------------

Agents:                                      Editorial Board Contacts:
What kinds of agents are performing useful   Munindar Singh
work on the Internet? Papers should          singh@ncsu.edu
clearly define both the applications and     or
technologies being used as well as the       Michael Huhns
sense of "agent." Applications should be     huhns@sc.edu
demonstrable. Issues include security,       Due date: March 15, 1997
mobility, and agent communication
languages. Claims about the efficacy of
one approach or language should be
supported by examples from applications.

                      ------------------------------

Intranets:                                   Editorial Board Contact:
What special technologies are being          William C. Regli
developed inside companies to integrate      regli@cme.nist.gov
applications into an Intranet? How heavily   Due date: May 7, 1997
do Intranets use Internet facilities?
Articles on integration, interfaces,
security, and special purpose integration
systems are solicited, as well as
development histories and tools.

                      ------------------------------

Internet Economics:                          Editorial Board Contact:
What is the state of the art in Electronic   Charles Petrie
Commerce? Who pays for the Internet? How     petrie@cdr.stanford.edu
do the economic policies of different        Due date: July 9, 1997
countries affect the use of the Internet?
Are economically motivated routing
policies affecting Internet access for
some groups? Papers on all these subjects
and related ones should have a strong
technical background. Both actual case
studies as well as simulations are
encouraged. Technologies for both studying
and implementing economic policies as well
as electronic commerce are relevant.
