There is a call for papers in IEEE publication that might
be of interest for hams who contribute in Winlink and other
email/emergency networks. The deadline is October 1 (if I am
not wrong, see bellow):
CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE
FEATURE TOPIC
Critical Communications and Public Safety Networks
Technologies used in public safety networks today are at a crossroads with
next-generation solutions and applications. Many of the existing
technologies such as TETRA and P25 have been in use for about 20 years now.
They are mature, reliable, and cost effective in supporting
mission-critical voice applications. However, they are not designed to
support higher bandwidth applications. Partly due to the availability of
commercial broadband applications, and partially due to increasing demand
by the public safety agencies, the possibilities of broadband data services
for public safety networks that are primarily based on the Long Term
Evolution (LTE) technology are being discussed increasingly in many
developed countries that include those in North America and Europe. For
example, the US Government has created in 2012 an authority to establish a
national public safety broadband network called FirstNet; short for First
Responders Network. The standards organizations and stakeholders in
developing narrowband technologies have indicated that their future
strategy is to evolve into LTE-based solutions for public safety systems.
In order to realize the promises of broadband technologies for public
safety networks, many obstacles in implementations and deployments need to
be overcome. Although early trials and deployments are underway, various
challenges in architecture, protocols, and operations are being addressed
in the industry. This Feature Topic (FT) is designed to attract papers that
will address these challenges. Authors will be invited to submit complete
unpublished papers that are not under review in any other conference or
journal in any of, but not limited to, the following or related topic
areas:
• Public safety architecture for wireline and wireless networks
• Public safety architecture for wireline and wireless networks
• Status of standards on mission-critical communications technologies
• Status of progress in, and experiences with, implementation and deployment
• Killer applications and services for both wireline and wireless networks
• Security issues, performance and service reliability
• Interoperability with the legacy systems
• Network and service management
• Economics• Economics
Papers should be tutorial in nature, and authors must follow the IEEE
Communications Magazine guidelines for preparation of their manuscripts.
For further details, please refer to 'Information for Authors' on the IEEE
Communications Magazine web site at
http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html. Manuscripts should
be submitted through Manuscript Central at
http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/ . Please select “April 2016 /
Critical Communications and Public Safety Networks” in the drop down menu.
Important Dates
Manuscript Submission: October 01, 2015
Decision Notification: December 01, 2015
Final Manuscript Due: February 01, 2016
Publication Date: April 2016

-------------------------------------
That's the call for papers. I recently submitted a book chapter of ham
radio and Winlink network for an academic book, so I don't plan to work
on that Call. However, if somebody else is likely to work on that, I might
join as a secondary author(s). Maybe some more hams could jointly write
something so to promote ham radio in IEEE publications?
