***INAUGURAL ISSUE: January 2010***
***Call for Papers is available from here, Deadline: 23rd March 2009***
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 s 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).

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 centred 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;
