Journal special issue on MMOGs - IEEE TETC

CALL FOR PAPERS Massively Multiplayer Online Games Technologies and Applications

IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing
Special Issue/Section June Issue 2014
http://www.computer.org/cms/Computer.org/transactions/cfps/cfp_tetcsi_mmogta.pdf

IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Section on Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) Technologies and Applications scheduled to appear in the June Issue of 2014.
MMOGs are gaining an increasing importance worldwide because they pose a number of new challenges to science, engineering, and industry, not to mention that they constitute a vibrant market that involves large budgets and businesses. These challenges may be understood from three points of view: computing, information, and communication. Having computers capable of dealing with massive data and computations per time unit is essential for online games demanding interactive rates or real-time, but it is not least true we need enough network bandwidth in order to guarantee that the game updates across the network are conveyed and received without lags. Recall that online games as, for example, World of Warcraft has over ten million subscribers with a peak of about half a million players interacting simultaneously within a virtual world. In general terms, we can even say that computer games constitute the driving force behind the new generation of high-end GPU-based personal computers that produce stunning graphics and deliver massive general-purpose computations.
This special issue will cover enabling technologies for MMOGs, as well as applications of MMOGs in other domains like military training, e-learning, among others. The focus will be mostly on the technological aspects of games, i.e., the computing (e.g., load balancing), information (e.g., persistent worlds), and communication (e.g., networking topologies as P2P), but high-quality papers that tackle these technological aspects in non-massive multiuser games may be also considered if they are able to contribute with solutions that can benefit MMOGs too. Hence, topics include, but are not limited to:

 Security Issues, Anti-Cheating Solutions, and Trust Modeling
 Computer-Human Interaction, User Behavior Analysis, Game Design Experience
 Scalability, Quality of Service and Latency Compensation Techniques
 Network Protocols, Traffic Analysis and Modeling
 Decentralized / Peer to Peer / Overlay Networks
 System Design / Architecture
 Sensor Networks for Games
 Grid and Cloud Computing and Mobile Games
 GPUs and Networks for Games
 Seamless Movement and Migration of Players
 Persistent Worlds and Embedded Databases

Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. As an author, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to our submission guidelines. You can access them at the IEEE Computer Society web site, www.computer.org. Please thoroughly read these before submitting your manuscript. TETC is the newest Transactions of the IEEE Computer Society with Open Access only.

Special Issue on: "Information Assurance and System Security in Cloud Computing" - IJCC

Special Issue on: "Information Assurance and System Security in Cloud Computing 

  Int. J. of Cloud Computing

Guest Editors:
Dr. Yu Chen and Dr. Douglas Summerville, Binghamton University, USA
Dr. Wei-Shinn Ku, Auburn University, USA

Cloud computing has been attracting interest from both industry and academia since 2007, and has been recognised as the new paradigm of the IT industry. Cloud computing provides users with flexible services in a transparent manner. Services are allocated in a “cloud”, which is a collection of devices and resources connected through the Internet. Before this paradigm can be widely accepted, the security, privacy and reliability provided by the services in the cloud must be well established.

This special issue seeks original unpublished papers focusing on various aspects of security issues in cloud computing environments. Aiming at presenting and discussing latest developments, this special issue welcomes papers addressing theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system architecture construction and design, experimental studies and social impacts of cloud computing. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are encouraged.

Subject Coverage

Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

• Emerging threats to cloud-based services
• Security models for new services
• Security in cloud-aware web services
• Information hiding/encryption in cloud computing
• Copyright protection in the cloud
• Securing distributed data storage in the cloud
• Privacy and security in cloud computing
• Forensics in cloud environments
• Robust network architecture
• Cloud infrastructure security
• Intrusion detection/prevention
• Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and defences
• Robust job scheduling
• Secure resource allocation and indexing
• Secure payment for cloud-aware services
• User authentication in cloud-aware services
• Non-repudiation solutions in the cloud
• Security for emerging cloud programming models
• Performance evaluation for security solutions
• Testbed/simulators for cloud security research
• Security hardware, i.e. hardware for encryption, etc.
• Detection and prevention of hardware trojans

Notes for Prospective Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page.

Important Dates

First submission: 30 January, 2013

through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. Thus, author names and affiliations must not
appear in the papers, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to
preserve author anonymity. Submissions should be uploaded at
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SIGMOD2013/.

For SIGMOD 2013, there will be a revise and re-submit option to replace the
feedback and shepherding mechanisms of previous conferences. The submissions
to be revised will be accompanied with concrete suggestions for
