The IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society is dedicated to publishing articles on the latest emerging topics and trends in all aspects of computing. The scope of the Society shall encompass all aspects of theory, design, practice, and application relating to computer and information processing science and technology.

Additional Information

In keeping with IEEE’s continued commitment to providing options to support the needs of all authors, IEEE is introducing an open journal for the Computer Society in 2020. The IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society (OJ-CS) is a rigorously peer-reviewed forum for rapid publication (five weeks) of open access articles describing high-impact results in all areas of interest to the IEEE Computer Society. OJ-CS complements existing IEEE Computer Society publications by providing a rapid review cycle and a thorough review of technical articles within the open-access-only framework. Our goal is to publish quickly; the rapid peer-review process is targeting a publication time frame of 5 weeks for most accepted papers. This journal is fully open and compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S.

We invite you to be among the first to have your article peer-reviewed and published in this new journal. This is an exciting opportunity for your research to benefit from the high visibility and interest the journal’s marketing launch will generate. Your work will also be exposed to 5 million unique monthly users of the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library.

OJ-CS will draw on the expert technical community to continue IEEE’s commitment to publishing the most highly cited content. The editor in chief is the distinguished Song Guo from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests are in big data, cloud computing, mobile computing, and distributed systems, with more than 450 papers published in major conferences and journals. Prof. Guo is an associate editor of four IEEE publications, has served as chair for numerous IEEE conferences, and is currently on the IEEE Communications Society’s Board of Governors.

Special Issue on Exploring Emerging Technologies in the Zero Trust Landscape: Challenges and Solutions
截稿日期: 2024-10-31

Recently, an increasing number of organizations have adopted zero-trust technologies to minimize risks by enforcing precise, least-privilege access decisions for service applications, especially when networks are compromised.  Within a zero-trust architecture, every access request, whether originating from an external or internal network, must be authenticated and evaluated for permission. This approach also prevents unauthorized individuals from using the devices of authorized users to access other devices for lateral movements.  Organizations must assess the trustworthiness of access requests based on user behaviors and threat intelligence, adapting their access control policies accordingly. The research community has consistently emphasized the significance of innovative technologies and integrated solutions in the realm of zero-trust. 

This special issue calls for original and high-quality works on the latest advancements, challenges, and solutions related to zero-trust. Our goal is to enhance the present state of zero-trust technology development,  encompassing algorithms, methodologies, and frameworks. These advancements will assess the risk of access requests more effectively,  achieving true zero trust, and consequently reducing potential cybersecurity risks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

    Trust Evaluation Algorithms in Zero-Trust Frameworks
    Cyber Threat Intelligence in the Context of Zero-Trust 
    Risk Evaluation of Edge Devices for Zero-Trust 
    Innovations in Access Control for Zero-Trust Systems 
    Access Policies and Selective Restrictions within Zero-Trust Models
    Novel Theories, Architectures, Applications, and Paradigms in Zero-Trust 
    Best Practices and Experiences in Zero-Trust Architecture Implementation 
    Security Modeling within Zero-Trust Architectures 
    Privacy-Enhancing Technologies in Zero-Trust Environments
    Evaluating the Effectiveness and Benchmarking of Zero-Trust
    Technologies 
    Advances in Technologies Underpinning Zero-Trust (e.g., AI, Blockchain, Deterministic Networks, Cloud/Edge Computing, etc.) 
    Miscellaneous Challenges and Considerations in Zero-Trust 

Submission Guidelines

For author information and guidelines on submission criteria, please visit the OJ-CS Author Information page. Please submit papers through the ScholarOne Manuscripts system, and be sure to select the special-section name. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
