[Air-L] IROCS Journals : Call For Papers

 A quick spot-check of some of their journal pages show no archives -- ie apparently launching in 2013.    There's also a "Launch New Journal" menu option that doesn't work, and I see they are charging for publication. There are a few typos/oddities here and there as well that give me pause, including the fact that the title of one journal almost looks like they want it to appear being something produced by IEEE.  Is this an example of 'title-squatting?'

So in general, in the absence of other evidence I am a bit sceptical....especially since we've been hit twice in 3 days with this generic CFP solicitation.  Of course, this is just my opinion based on a 2-minute skim of their site.
