Scope
Aims, scope and focus
IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks is published by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. and is in Zone 3 of Computer Science in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Distributed Control Multi-Agent Systems, Distributed Sensor Networks and Detection Algorithms and Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks, together about 30.8% of its articles. Its main subfields are Computer Networks and Communications. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks publishes high-quality papers that extend the classical notions of processing of signals defined over vector spaces (e.g. time and space) to processing of signals and information (data) defined over networks, potentially dynamically varying. In signal processing over networks, the topology of the network may define structural relationships in the data, or may constrain processing of the data. Topics include distributed algorithms for filtering, detection, estimation, adaptation and learning, model selection, data fusion, and diffusion or evolution of information over such networks, and applications of distributed signal processing.
