Aim and scope

The Journal of Intelligent and Secure Networked Systems (JISNS) aim to publish high-quality research that advances the design, analysis, and implementation of intelligent, secure, and trustworthy networked systems. The journal emphasizes computational and system-level approaches where artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are applied to networking and communication environments. Security and trust are treated as integral properties of networked systems rather than add-on components. JISNS promotes research that enhances the reliability, adaptability, and resilience of networked infrastructures. Particular importance is given to methodologically rigorous studies with practical relevance and reproducible evaluation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Machine learning and deep learning techniques for networking and communication systems,
• Intelligent routing, traffic engineering, and congestion control mechanisms,
• Adaptive, autonomous, and self-organizing networked systems,
• AI-assisted network monitoring, optimization, and control,
• Trust modeling, trust evaluation, and reputation management in networked environments,
• Secure communication protocols and network architectures,
• AI-based intrusion detection, attack detection, and anomaly identification,
• Privacy-preserving networking and secure data exchange techniques,
• Trust-based and blockchain-enabled security frameworks,
• Computer and communication networks,
• Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),
• Edge, fog, and cloud-based networked infrastructures,
• Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV),
• Next-generation communication networks including 5G, 6G, and beyond,
• Network performance analysis, modeling, and simulation,
• Energy-efficient and sustainable networked systems,
• Resource allocation and scheduling in distributed networks,
• Reliability, resilience, and fault tolerance in networked environments,
• Cyber-physical and distributed networked systems,
• Secure networked applications for healthcare, transportation, and industrial domains,
• Experimental platforms, testbeds, and deployment-oriented studies.

Out of Scope: To preserve the journal’s focus and academic identity, the Journal of Intelligent and Secure Networked Systems (JISNS) does not consider submissions that fall outside its system-level networking and computing orientation. Manuscripts that are purely hardware-centric or limited to electronic circuit design, without a clear connection to networked systems or computational frameworks, are not within the journal’s scope. Similarly, studies focused exclusively on signal processing, antenna design, or physical-layer analysis without demonstrated relevance to intelligent or secure networking architectures are excluded. Submissions centered on management, policy, economic, or business perspectives are also considered out of scope unless they present a substantial computational, algorithmic, or networking contribution aligned with the journal’s objectives.
