MISSION OF IJDST
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies (IJDST). The IJDST is dedicated to the timely publication of original and scholarly research contributions and thus, publishes papers in all aspects of the traditional and emerging areas of applied distributed systems and integration research (including data, agent and mining technologies) such as next generation technologies, next generation grid, distributed and throughput computing concepts, theories, and applications and their integration at various levels (conception, theory, back-end, middleware level and front-end developments).
SUBMITTING TO IJDST:
Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. Submissions should be between 5,500 to 8,000 words in length.
Interested authors must consult the Journal's guidelines for manuscript submissions at:
http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines submission.pdf prior to submission. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to nik.bessis@beds.ac.uk
Regular submissions are welcomed at any time (open call).
****************RECOMMENDED TOPICS********************************
Topics covered by the International Journal include but are not limited to the heterogeneity and autonomy of Internet, web, peer-to-peer, service oriented, grid, next generation grid, next generation technologies and other distributed systems paradigms and concepts; algorithms, software, application, services and technologies integration methods; process, resource, service and data virtualization, sharing, and integration; process, resource, service and resource flow management; scheduling; aspects of quality provision, policies; trust, identity management, forensics and security; application developments centered on the integration and management of various (e-) science-to-science, science-to-business, business-to-business, business-to-customer, and customer-to-customer models.
Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Theory of distributed systems and technologies such as parallel or integration algorithms;
* Matching, mapping and other novel techniques for the integration, management and interoperability of distributed data, systems, technologies, services, architectures, applications and legacy systems;
* Innovative developments in distributed computer, operating systems, databases, middleware, networking and application architecture including design and analysis of distributed algorithms, programming languages, compilers, software tools and middleware environments; autonomy services; cloud computing, service oriented, grid, peer-to-peer, throughput and cluster programming interfaces; scheduling and fault-tolerance service and algorithms; synchronization and concurrency theory and programming;
* Forensics, security, cryptography, threat detection, business continuity, trust, identity management, policies and quality of service management;
* Representation techniques like semantics, meta-data, tagging, clouds, ontologies and knowledge bases in distributed environments;
* User and community led systems and application development, software engineering modeling, architecture, description, deployment, packaging, interfaces and distribution;
* Theory and use of distributed technologies for collaborative work, resource sharing and problem solving;
* Distributed technology applications and system integration solutions in diverse collaborative environments including but not limited to science, engineering, management and business;
* Distributed technologies for science or business process, models and, application integration and management such as in operational research, economic models and supply chain;
* Theory and applications of distributed computing such as algorithms and services, and their implementation in Internet, pervasive and utility computing, cloud computing, peer-to-peer, grid, next generation grid and next generation technologies;
* Theory, applications and technologies such as click stream, data mining, databases, data warehouses, web houses, web data centers and sites, mashups, intra-/inter-tagging and cloud computing for managing and integrating linked, streaming, media rich, multimedia, spatial, temporal data, services and resources;
* Distributed systems, system architecture and design, technologies and applications and their integration methods and tools for performance analysis, verification, testing, and benchmarking and their empirical results;
* Novel algorithms, uses and implications of distributed concepts, models, architectures, technologies and practices for example in Internet, wireless communications, mobile, ad-hoc networks and sensors;
* Distributed concepts, systems, applications, technologies and advanced paradigms for early warning systems, evacuation processes, climate change, disaster management, and threat detection including geographical information systems and health informatics;
* Distributed strategies and practices for e-society, global economies, developing countries and education;
* Other implications, including scientific or business models; human and/or market dynamics influencing decisions and transitions within small and large virtual communities or organizations;
