Computer Communication Review

Scope

Computer Communication Review (CCR) is a publication of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM) and publishes articles on topics within the SIG's field of interest. CCR serves as a forum for interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development. The focus is on timely dissemination of new ideas that may help trigger additional investigations. While the innovation and timeliness are the major criteria for its acceptance, technical robustness and readability will also be considered in the review process. We particularly encourage papers with early evaluation or feasibility studies.

Submission types

CCR accepts two types of submissions: technical papers and editorial notes. Technical papers are carefully prepared presentations of technical material within the field. If these extend previously published work,  the additional contribution should be clearly identified. Editorial notes are typically shorter and less formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the research community. The scope for editorial contributions spans topics such as interviews of research scientists and industry leaders, editorials, conference reports, summary standards, NSF or European Commission user manuals, arguments on a research topic, outrageous opinion columns, timely tutorials, What's Worth Reading, and similar material. Letters from readers are also welcome. Authors considering submission of an editorial contribution are welcome to contact the Editor for feedback about its appropriateness, if desired. Prospective authors should follow the guidelines described here.

Copyright

CCR allows authors to retain copyright of their submitted work. This is to encourage early submission of work to the community. Specifically, by submitting your article for distribution in this Special Interest Group publication, you grant to ACM the following non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide rights: to publish in print on condition of acceptance by the editor, to digitize and post your article in the electronic version of this publication, to include the article in the ACM Digital Library, and to allow users to copy and distribute the article for noncommercial, educational or research purposes. However, as a contributing author, you retain copyright to your article and ACM will make every effort to refer requests for commercial use directly to you.

Publication of a paper in CCR does not preclude the later acceptance of a related paper to any workshop, conference, journal or magazine. Our expectation is that enhanced versions of the work would be submitted to other venues as appropriate. Prospective authors are cautioned that some venues are likely to require that the work be enhanced to a significant degree before being considered for acceptance.

Note that articles submitted to CCR should not be extension of previously published work, unless there is a new contribution in the paper. Articles not describing ongoing work or not containing new contribution do not match the objective of CCR.

Implicit Deadlines

Although we accept submissions all year around, there are four implicit deadlines: 1st of December, 1st of March, 1st of June, and 1st of September. Paper submitted right before the deadline will experience a 6 to 8 weeks review process. Please contact the CCR Editor for editorial submission.
