Special issue on network coding

Future networks are expected to depart from traditional routing schemes in order to embrace network coding (NC)-based schemes. These have created a lot of interest both in academia and industry in recent years. Under the NC paradigm, symbols are transported through the network by combining several information streams originating from the same or different sources. This special issue contains th...

Special issue on database theory

This issue of the JCSS contains seven invited papers on database theory. The papers are representative of the latest and most promising research on advancing the state of the art in data management. The following process was used. First, eight papers were carefully selected from among the best research projects published in the top data management conferences during the first half of 2005 (the ...
