Network testing series [Series Editorial]

Our last call for this March issue was due on June 1, 2013, and received nine submissions. Among them we accepted three, with one from academia, one from industry, and one from an international hybrid team of universities, industry, and a research agency. We prefer to keep enough industrial flavor to this series. Although the writing quality and rigidness of industrial authors might be lower than the academic authors, we have tried to improve their presentation through the review process. The other six submissions were not included, mainly due to not enough interesting material on test methodologies or results, or not enough focus on testing. Again, the due dates for this series are June 1 and December 1 each year, with publication in the March and September issues of the following year. The turn-around time of the review process is kept within three months. We welcome submissions with a focus on test methodologies, and results on communications and networking systems.
