1.  IEEE Communications Surveys - http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/surveys/ 

Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace.
Researchers and other professionals need to stay up to date.  IEEE
Communications Surveys is the new thing in town.  It is the first and
only FREE OF CHARGE, PEER-REVIEWED and ELECTRONIC magazine that helps
telecommunications researchers and professionals to stand the pace. Its
talented and dedicated editorial board is committed to serve these
researchers and professionals by providing a continuously-available
source of comprehensive,leading-edge tutorial and surveys covering all
areas of communications. 

The chief goal of IEEE Communications Surveys is to publish, on a
quarterly basis, full fledged issues that feature original peer-reviewed
tutorial and survey articles and original departments such as the
Reprint of the Quarter. The inaugural issue published in late 1998 was
widely acclaimed. Two issues have already followed suit this year. The
articles published so far cover numerous topics including: 

· CDMA 
· Active networks 
· ATM 
· Cable TV networks 
· Satellite communications 
· Optical networks 
· Network management 

If you are interested in receiving the table of contents of new issues
as soon as they are posted, please visit the Communications Surveys web
site and subscribe to their mailing list.  If you are interested in
submitting manuscripts for eventual publication, please consult the call
for papers on their web site.  Papers are solicited on all communication
topics.  The review process is speedy
and the publication of accepted papers expeditious.
