IJISP 2016 - Special Issue on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications

With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer systems and communication networks, user requirements for trust, security and privacy are becoming more and more demanding. Therefore, there is a grand challenge that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing environments. As a result, we need to build systems and networks in which various applications allow users to enjoy more comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. As useful and innovative technologies, trusted computing and communications are attracting researchers with more and more attention. The title of this special issue for International Journal of Information Security and Privacy (IJISP) is therefore coined precisely as “Special Issue on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications”.
Topics of Interest: This special issue focuses on innovative methods and techniques for addressing on trusted computing and communications, with regard to trust, security, privacy, reliability, dependability, survivability, availability, and fault tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks, and providing a forum to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research field. Original submissions reflecting latest research observations and achievements in the following areas are invited:
? Trust semantics, metrics and models
? Trusted computing platform
? Trusted network computing
? Trusted operating systems
? Trusted and secure software and applications
? Trust, security and privacy in social networks
? Trust, security and privacy in grid/cloud/pervasive computing
? Trust, security and privacy in parallel and distributed systems
? Trust, security and privacy in e-commerce and e-government
? Risk and reputation management
? Trust, security and privacy in mobile and wireless communications
? Trust, security and privacy of 5G
? Trust, security and privacy in database systems
? Trust, security and privacy of web applications and services
? Trust, security and privacy in network deployment and management
? Network security
? Computer security
? Policy, model and architecture of trust, security and privacy
? Authentication, authorization and accounting
Paper submissions: This special issue CFP is open for all interested to contribute. Extended versions of a selection of the best papers from The 14th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-15) will be especially invited for consideration. The guest editors will consider inviting one or two survey papers to complement the topics covered by the contributed papers. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed as per IJISP policy.
Paper submissions for the special issue should follow the submission format and guidelines for regular IJISP papers. Author guidelines can be found at http://www.igi-global.com/calls-for-papers/interna....
Manuscripts must be submitted via the online submission and peer review systems at the E-Editorial Discovery™ online submission manager at http://www.igi-global.com/submission/submit-manusc....
