JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON
Age of Information PUBLICATION DATE: June 2019
Information freshness at the destination is of fundamental importance in the dissemination of time-critical information. Applications that rely on information freshness include networked monitoring, situational awareness and automated control (e.g., tactical networks, sensor networks, airplane/vehicular control, and Cyber-Physical Systems) applications. Other commercial applications include information-update and data analytics (e.g., crowdsourcing, financial trading, social networks, and Internet of Things) applications. Age of Information (AoI) is a concept that has recently gained prominence as a performance metric for characterizing information freshness at the receiver. It is interesting to note that improving first-order metrics such as, providing high throughput and / or low delay, that lead to improved performance in traditional data networks, are inadequate when it comes to improving information freshness. Therefore, there is a critical need to re-examine existing metrics and develop new ones for current and future real-time applications. The objective of this special issue is to invite authors to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances in various aspects of Age of Information, including but not limited to:
- Age of Information Analysis
- Age of Information and Optimization
- Age of Information and Information Theory
- Age of Information and Network Theory
- Age of Information and Signal Sampling and Estimation
- Age of Information and Cloud, Fog, Edge Computing
- Age of Information and Security

JCN SPECIAL ISSUE ON
IOT (INTERNET OF THINGS) SECURITY AND PRIVACY PUBLICATION DATE: October 2019
The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm aims to connect all kinds of different physical objects together and make them accessible from the Internet, with advanced sensing, actuation, communications, and networking technologies. IoT systems vary in type, scale, and function. They range from Internet of Vehicles, to Industrial Internet of Things, to Internet of Battlefield Things and Internet of Medical Things. Gartner predicts that tens of billions of IoT devices will be in use in the near future. Many low-cost IoT devices have little processing power or storage capacity, resulting in poor built-in security capabilities. This allows these devices to be used as ingress points to access the broader IT or critical infrastructure. Because of the expanded attack surface, IoT security and privacy has become a pressing issue. Every threat against the IoT may constitute a more severe threat to the IT or critical infrastructure behind the IoT. Thus, it is imperative to study and understand the security and privacy risks related to IoT and to propose innovative solutions to deal with these risks.
The purpose of this special issue is to solicit original contributions and publish recent advances in security and privacy for any type of emerging IoT systems and devices, with emphasis on, but certainly not limited to, the following topics:
- Trust management
- Access control and authentication
- Secure and privacy preserving data management
- Innovative intrusion detection solutions
- Secure application layer protocols
- Secure transport layer protocols
- Secure networking layer protocols
- Secure MAC layer protocols
