Special Section on Signal Design and its Applications inCommunications
The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) announces a forthcoming special section on“Signal Design and its Application in Communications” to be published in December 2018 as a special section of theTransactions on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences. The objective of this special
section is to review and promote recent progress in the field of sequence design and its applications. Topics of interest
within the scope of this section include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

It is expected that the journal version of a number of high-quality papers presented at the Eighth International Workshop on
Signal Design and Its Applications in Communications (IWSDA’17) held in Sapporo, Japan, from September 24 to 28, 2017,
will be published in this special section. Open submissions are also welcomed.
- Authors should submit a paper using the IEICE Web site https://review.ieice.org/regist/regist_baseinfo_e.aspx untilDecember 29, 2017. Authors should choose the [Special-SD] Signal Design and its Applications in Communications as a
"Journal/Section" on the online screen. Do not choose [Regular-EA].
- Meanwhile, "Copyright Transfer and Page Charge Agreement" and "Confirmation Sheet of Manuscript Registration" mustbe submitted from the same web site as paper submission until December 29, 2017.
