Call for Articles for IEEE Computer

IEEE Computer seeks submissions for an April 2013 special issue on 
cybersecurity.

(Impact Factor: 1.470 -- 5-Year Impact Factor: 2.111)


Recent technological advances in computing, communications, software, and 
hardware have enabled the
significant growth of cyberspace, an important aspect of modern life that 
continues to transform the way
citizens, business, and governments interact, collaborate, and conduct 
business. Our heavy dependence on
various digital infrastructures has made them strategic national assets that 
must be protected to ensure
economic growth, prosperity, and safety in the future.

Cybersecurity is an emerging area of intense activity that endeavors to provide 
innovative solutions to
ensure uninterrupted communications and service availability. This special 
issue aims to disseminate the
latest advances in cybersecurity that are critical in thwarting future threats, 
attacks, fraud, and damage. The
content will focus on effective techniques and approaches that have the 
potential to ensure a safe,
trustworthy, secure, and resilient cyberspace.

Appropriate topics of interest for this special issue include but are not 
limited to

*     cybersecurity approaches for critical infrastructures in public sectors 
including water supply,
       electricity, gas, transportation, and so on;
*     cyberthreat modeling and analysis;
*     solutions to mitigate cyberattacks and cybercrime;
*     cyberforensics;
*     visual analytics and risk management techniques for cybersecurity;
*     testbeds, tools, methodologies for cybersecurity experimentation;
*     cybersecurity education, policy, law, and regulation.

Articles should be understandable to a broad audience of computing science and 
engineering
professionals. The writing should be practical and original, avoiding a focus 
on theory, mathematics,
jargon, and abstract concepts. Accepted papers will be professionally edited 
for content and style. All
manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to 
Computer's readership.

Direct inquiries to the guest editors: Sherali Zeadally, University of the 
District of Columbia, USA
(szeada... at udc.edu); Gregorio Martinez, University of Murcia, Spain 
(grego... at um.es); and Han-Chieh
Chao, National Ilan University, Taiwan (h... at niu.edu.tw).

Paper submissions are due by 1 November 2012. For author guidelines and 
information on how to

    Final submissions due: 1 November 2012
    Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012
    Final papers due: 31 January 2013
    Publication date: April 2013
