The volatile growth of the internet and globalization that influences every facet of life are fuelled by the rapid acceleration of computing/communication technologies. Although security is a major concern, we must also protect ourselves from false/misleading information provided by some information/service providers. Traditional security mechanisms cannot protect against this type of threat. Trust management mechanisms on the other hand can provide protection. IJTMCC provides a forum for discussion on theoretical and practical aspects of the latest developments in this area.
Topics covered include
- Bio-inspired, distributed/dynamic trust management
- Trust self-organisation and autonomic networks
- Legal/economic aspects
- Pervasive computational trust, use of context-awareness
- Ethics, sociology, psychology
- Collaborative computing applications, critical infrastructure protection
- Small-world/social networks
- Security, privacy, identity management
- Architecture of interoperable/open source systems
- E-governance, e-learning, electronic knowledge transfer, e-commerce
- Group communication systems, mobile/wireless communications, sensor networks
- Multimedia information management, service-oriented computing
- P2P, grid, cloud and clusters
- Smart grid and virtual organisations
- Models, formalisation, specification, analysis, reasoning
Objectives
The main objective of IJTMCC is to establish an effective channel of communication among academic researchers, policy makers and practicing IT professionals to promote high quality research on trust management.
Readership
IJTMCC provides a vehicle to help academics, professionals, researchers and policy makers working in the field of trust management and allied areas to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJTMCC publishes two types of rigorous and top quality articles: research articles and research reviews. Research articles are full innovative findings that make significant theoretical and empirical contributions to knowledge in the field by using various theoretical and methodological approaches. Research reviews are perceptive and prudently made articles that conceptualise research areas, blend previous innovative findings, advance the understanding of the field, and identify and develop future research directions. Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts that qualify for either of the two categories. Special Issues devoted to important topics will occasionally be published.
