CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Journal of Network and Computer Applications on Trusted
Computing and Communications
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jnca

Scope:

With the rapid development and the increasing complexity of computer and
communications systems and networks, traditional security technologies and
measures can not meet the demand for integrated and dynamic security
solutions. As a challenging and innovative research field, trusted computing
and communications target computer and communications systems and networks
that are available, secure, reliable, controllable, dependable, and so on.
In a word, they must be trustworthy. If we view the traditional security as
identity trust, the broader field of trusted computing and communications
also includes behavior trust of systems and networks. In fact, trusted
computing and communications have become essential components of various
distributed services, applications, and systems, including self-organizing
networks, social networks, semantic webs, e-commence, and e-government.
Research areas of relevance would therefore include, but not only limited
to, the following topics:

(1) Trusted computing platform and paradigm
(2) Trusted systems and architectures
(3) Trusted operating systems
(4) Trusted software
(5) Trusted database
(6) Trusted services and applications
(7) Trust in e-commerce and e-government
(8) Trust in mobile and wireless networks
(9) Trusted communications and networking
(10) Reliable and fault-tolerant computer systems/networks
(11) Survivable computer systems/networks
(12) Autonomic and dependable computer systems/networks
