ICST Transactions on Scalable Information Systems (ISSN: 2032-9407)

Description

As the data volumes continue to increase and the ways of information dispersion across the globe continue to diversify, new scalable methods and structures are needed for efficiently processing those distributed and autonomous data. Grid computing, P2P technology, distributed information retrieval technology, and networking technology all must be merged to address the scalability concern.
The scope of the journal includes:
Scalable distributed information systems
Scalable grid information systems
Parallel information processing and systems
Web information searching and retrieval
Data mining
Content delivery networks (CDN)
VLDB
P2P systems
Scalable mobile and wireless database systems
Large scale sensor network systems
Index compression methods
Architectures for scalability
Scalable information system applications
Evaluation metrics for scalability
Information security
Keywords

Information systems, scalability, distributed systems, parallel processing, CDN, VLDB, P2P, mobile computing, sensor networks, information security.
