Aims and scope
The International Journal on Networked and Distributed Computing (IJNDC) is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of research by publishing high-quality, original articles that cover both theoretical and practical aspects of networked and distributed systems. As a cornerstone of modern technology, networked and distributed computing is pivotal in enhancing computational methodologies and driving innovations across various applicative domains. The journal aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to disseminate their findings, discuss critical challenges, and explore state-of-the-art solutions. By fostering an environment of rigorous peer review and interdisciplinary collaboration, IJNDC seeks to contribute to the development of robust, secure, scalable, coordinated, autonomous, and efficient networked and distributed systems that can meet the demands of contemporary and future technological landscapes.
The goal of the journal is to explore the implications of these technologies, spanning distributed and decentralized approaches to computing, pervasive and ubiquitous systems, and novel technologies for making applications and systems more scalable, reliable, and available. Additionally, IJNDC addresses the integration of smart and intelligent systems within networked and distributed environments. These systems, incorporating advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence, are becoming increasingly relevant in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of networked solutions.
Topics of Interest
IJNDC publishes rigorously peer-reviewed original research articles, comprehensive surveys, and insightful reports of practical experiences. To foster cutting-edge discourse, the journal periodically invites proposals for special issues focusing on emerging and impactful topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
