The journal Netnomics is intended to be an outlet for research in electronic networking as well as in network economics.As more and more transactions are carried out electronically, important economic issues and problems arise. A network-based real-time macroeconomy has emerged with its own set of economic characteristics, creating a wealth of opportunities for economic research as well as important linkages to information systems. Topics that could be addressed are pricing schemes for electronic services, electronic trading systems, data mining and high-frequency online data as well as big data, real-time forecasting, filtering, economic software agents, distributed database applications, electronic money and tickets, and many more. Evidently, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, we attempt to disclose important research questions in the field of network economics. This may reflect networks in their widest sense regarding, for instance, telecommunications, electronic networks, supply chain networks, networks in traffic and transportation such as the airline and maritime shipping industries, or even electricity networks and smart grids. Papers of Netnomics describe cutting edge research and applications in these areas.

Network problems are pervasive in our modern technological society, as witnessed by our reliance on physical networks that provide power, communication, and transportation. As well, a number of processes can be modeled using logical networks, as in the scheduling of interdependent tasks, the dating of archaeological artifacts, or the compilation of subroutines comprising a large computer program. Networks provide a common framework for posing and studying problems that often have wider applicability than their originating context. The goal of this journal is to provide a central forum for the distribution of timely information about network problems, their design and mathematical analysis, as well as efficient algorithms for carrying out optimization on networks. The nonstandard modeling of diverse processes using networks and network concepts is also of interest. Consequently, the disciplines that are useful in studying networks are varied, including applied mathematics, operations research, computer science, discrete mathematics, and economics. Networks publishes material on the modeling of problems using networks, the analysis of network problems, the design of computationally efficient network algorithms, and innovative case studies of successful network applications. Since the audience for this journal is then necessarily broad, articles that impact multiple application areas or that creatively use new or existing methodologies are especially appropriate. We seek to publish original, well-written research papers that make a substantive contribution to the knowledge base. In addition, tutorial and survey articles are welcomed. All manuscripts are carefully refereed.

Networks and Spatial Economics (NETS) is devoted to the mathematical and numerical study of economic activities facilitated by human infrastructure.

The journal publishes a full spectrum of high quality work in networks and spatial economics including theoretical studies, case studies and algorithmic investigations, as well as manuscripts that combine these aspects. Although not devoted exclusively to theoretical studies, the journal is 'theory-friendly'.Officially cited as: Netw Spat Econ

Neural Processing Letters is an international journal publishing research results and innovative ideas on all aspects of artificial neural networks. Coverage includes theoretical developments, biological models, new formal modes, learning, applications, software and hardware developments, and prospective researches.The journal promotes fast exchange of information in the community of neural network researchers and users. The resurgence of interest in the field of artificial neural networks since the beginning of the 1980s is coupled to tremendous research activity in specialized or multidisciplinary groups. Research, however, is not possible without good communication between people and the exchange of information, especially in a field covering such different areas; fast communication is also a key aspect, and this is the reason for Neural Processing Letters.

This journal supports the development of new computational paradigms stemming from the cross-fertilization of various research fields, such as programming (logic, constraint, functional, object-oriented), distributed/parallel computing, knowledge-based systems and agent-oriented systems. It presents theoretical and practical papers that cover all types of learning, knowledge discovery, evolutionary mechanisms, and emergent systems that can lead to key technologies that enable the building of more complex and intelligent systems. Major fields covered in New Generation Computing, include: Computing Paradigms Programming and Architecture Network Computing Intelligent Systems Learning Evolutionary Systems.

Information networking is an enabling technology with the potential to integrate and transform information provision, communication and learning. The New Review of Information Networking, published biannually, provides an expert source on the needs and behaviour of the network user; the role of networks in teaching, learning, research and scholarly communication; the implications of networks for library and information services; the development of campus and other information strategies; the role of information publishers on the networks; policies for funding and charging for network and information services; and standards and protocols for network applications. As well as conventional research studies 8211; which remain very important 8211; we will publish review articles on the 8220;state of the art8221; in important areas. We will publish 8220;think8221; pieces and policy papers and opinion pieces, which both generate debate and provoke fresh thinking on the future and on how we may best address it. A huge number of reports have been published in recent years on the changing nature of users; on the changing nature of information; on the relevance of current organisational structures to generations apparently weaned on social networks. We seek to publish those papers which synthesise our understanding as well as those which address the fundamental underlying principles of the increasingly complex information landscape which organisations inhabit.Peer Review Policy: All review papers in New Review of Information Networking will undergo editorial screening and peer review.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
