Call For Papers - CFP

Objective of the Book

This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in network security technologies. It will be written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of the strategic role of trust at different levels of the information and knowledge society, including trust at the level of the global economy, of networks and organizations, of teams and work groups, of information systems and, finally, trust at the level of individuals as actors in the networked environments.

The book will cover the latest knowledge and technologies used and applied in network security. Also, it will analyze malicious threats, viruses, and attacks which can compromise network integrity at hardware or software levels.

Target Audience

The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information and knowledge management in various disciplines, e.g. library, information and communication sciences, administrative sciences and management, education, adult education, sociology, computer science, and information technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to executives concerned with the management of expertise, knowledge, information and organizational development in different types of work communities and environments.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Network and Wireless Network Security

Security for emerging technologies: sensor networks, wireless/mobile (and ad hoc) networks, and personal communication systems
