Focus and Scope

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to advance the integrated study of digital foundations and complex systems, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic literature reviews, architectural case studies, and applied technical evaluations within the following thematic areas:

Cloud, Edge & Distributed Computing: Cloud-native architectures, virtualization, containerization (e.g., Kubernetes/Docker), and microservices; fog and edge computing for ultra-low latency applications; and distributed systems optimization and load balancing.

Network Infrastructure & Telecommunications: Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV); 5G/6G mobile networks, optical communications, and wireless sensor networks (WSN); and broadband infrastructure for bridging the digital divide.

Cybersecurity, Privacy & Infrastructure Resilience: Zero-trust network architectures, cryptography, and blockchain for infrastructure integrity; intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS); and disaster recovery, fault tolerance, and cyber-physical threat mitigation.

Data Center Engineering & Sustainable IT: High-Performance Computing (HPC) and enterprise server architectures; green computing, energy-efficient cooling systems, and carbon-neutral data center operations; and massive-scale data storage and retrieval systems.

Internet of Things (IoT) & Cyber-Physical Systems: Architectural frameworks for industrial IoT (IIoT) and smart city deployments; integration of operational technology (OT) with IT systems; and autonomous systems telemetry and real-time data streaming infrastructures.
