International Journal of Cyberspace Sciences and Emergency Management (IJCSEM) (ISSN: 2048-2175)

Description

IJCSEM mainly publishes original research contributions on cyberspace sciences (of which the journal’s current focuses include, but are not limited to, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, reliability, survivability, and cloud computing) as well as emergency response and management. The journal also tries to nurture trans-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to addressing various important global issues at the strategic level, such as critical national infrastructure protection, global climate change, nuclear safety, resilience of financial systems, terrorism threats, sustainable energy and food supplies, biodiversity conservation, by synthesizing and applying the inspirational principles and methodologies drawn from the topics covered by the journal.

Objectives

The objectives of IJCSEM are two-fold:

to promote the synergetic advances of the major fields of cyberspace sciences (cybersecurity, information intelligence, cyberwarfare, reliability, survivability, cloud computing, etc) and their applications to emergency response and management;
to support cross-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary studies on some globally critical issues mentioned previously at the strategic level by synthesizing the inspirational principles and approaches from areas such as reliability, survivability, fault tolerance, network analysis, bio-robustness of natural biological/ecological systems.
Readership

The audience of IJCSEM consists of scientists, engineers, graduate students and policy-makers working in the following fields: cyber security, information intelligence, cyberwarfare, strategic information warfare, reliability, survivability, survivable network systems, fault tolerance, critical national infrastructure protection, emergency response and management, and cloud computing. It should also be of interest to interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary scientists working in disciplines such as mathematical and computational sciences, engineering, biology, ecology, and management sciences.

Contents

IJCSEM will publish peer-reviewed original research articles, short communications, reviews and mini-reviews; cross-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary contributions are particularly welcomed. Special Issues devoted to specific topics within the scope of the journal will occasionally be published. While the journal welcomes qualitative and policy-level contributions from leading scholars and organizations, it emphasises quantitative and technological studies that advance the science and art in the respective areas covered by the journal.
