The IEEE is considering a new journal with a scope of: “Papers published in this journal will present applied numerical and mathematical methods related to the solution of large or complex problems in wireless systems, such as physics and statistical based modeling of propagation and path loss of wireless communication signals, radar cross section modeling of complex structures, modeling of aerospace structures for electromagnetic interference and structural integrity, and passive and active remote sensing. Papers describing numerical inversion methods, parallel processing methods, high-order basis functions, and other advanced mathematical and numeric methods for applied problems related to wireless systems will be published.”We request your time to complete a short survey to help us understand the need, benefits and problems with the proposal.
