Special Issue on Data and Flow Control

In computer science, flow control is the management of data flow between computers or devices or between nodes in a network so that the data can be handled at an efficient pace. It provides a mechanism for the receiver to control the transmission speed, so that the receiving node is not overwhelmed with data from transmitting node. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of data and flow control.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Data and Flow Control. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Closed-loop flow control
• Collection-controlled loops
• Condition-controlled loops
• Count-controlled loops
• Control structures in practice
• Control-flow analysis
• Control-flow diagram
• Control-flow graph
• Open-loop flow control
• Software flow control
• Hardware flow control
• Infinite loops
• Messages, return codes, and error codes   
• Teletraffic engineering
• Traffic contract
• Transmission control protocol

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Data and Flow Control” should be selected during your submission.
