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;
- 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 modelling, 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 centres 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;
SUBMITTING TO IJDST:
