[DMANET] [CFP] Elsevier High-Confidence Computing Journal

*Elsevier High-Confidence Computing Journal Call for Papers*


Driven by the recent developments of digital transformations and
high-fault-tolerant systems, High-Confidence Computing (HCC) was coined as
a new computing paradigm that integrates the key properties of trusted
computing, precise computing, and intelligent computing to support the
next-generation information systems such as smart-city, smart-society, and
autonomous driving. HCC relies on interdisciplinary methodologies to
realize secure and trusted software/hardware, precise and process-traceable
algorithms, and self-evolving designs that can adapt to new environments
and support new applications. Information systems possessing HCC properties
can provide collaborative services that are otherwise impossible as
security, traceability, accountability, reliability, robustness,
extensibility, adaptivity, and self-evolution are all desired and
equally-important properties of modern complex systems.



The Elsevier HCC Journal is dedicated to publishing rigorously
peer-reviewed, high-quality original articles covering fundamental research
outcomes that integrate the three domains of trusted computing, precise
computing, and intelligent computing, as well as complex system designs
that jointly consider the properties of secure and trusted
hardware/software, precise and process-traceable algorithms, and
self-evolving systems that can adapt to new environments and support new
applications. The journal intends to provide a unique interdisciplinary
platform for researchers and practitioners who are interested in the basic
research of high-confidence computing and the complex system developments
considering high-confidence properties to demonstrate their novel and
creative designs. Other than the original research papers on all aspects of
high-confidence computing from theory and applications, the journal also
publishes review articles with inspiring open research discussions that can
motivate new ideas of realizing high-confidence computing. Relevant topics
include, but are not limited to:



- Expandable and accountable computing architectures

- SDN-enabled and Blockchain-enhanced computing architectures

- NFV for dynamic function expansion and adaptation

- Access control to secure open computing environments

- TEE-enabled trusted data collection and hardware control

- Cryptographic high-confidence primitives and applications

- High-confidence system security and privacy

- Active defense technologies

- Malicious, damaged and white-noise data cleaning and extraction

- Spatial-temporal big data fusion for intelligent decision making

- Migration learning and digital-twin technologies

- Cascading failure detection and recovery

- Cascading vulnerability detection and positioning

- Modelling, analysis, and measurement of high-confidence

- Testbed and empirical studies
