Computational intelligence for internet services and applications

Journal of Internet Services and Applications welcomes submissions to the thematic series on "Computational intelligence for
internet services and applications".

The Internet has evolved significantly over the 50 years of its existence and it is clear that it still needs to evolve further over the next decades. Apart from the continuous evolution of networking technologies, a key game changer is the ever-growing use of intelligent systems that rely on data mining, machine learning, or computational intelligence techniques.
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to provide innovative services and applications, while also supporting emerging areas such as Smart Cities. However, the massive amount of data generated by sensors and other sources poses new challenges that are still to be adequately addressed. In addition, the current trend towards intelligent Internet services and applications poses new requirements for the networking infrastructure, such as scalability, robustness and configuration flexibility. This is particularly true for underlying technologies supporting the “As a Service” model of cloud and fog computing, also known as network softwarization. A new trend has been led by virtualization technologies, such as SDN and NFV and requires increased levels of intelligence.
This Journal of Internet Services and Applications thematic series aims to publish high-level research involving a variety of techniques collectively classified as Computational Intelligence (such as Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Fuzzy Logic and Evolutionary Computation) applied to advanced and novel Internet infrastructure (including network softwarization and virtualization technologies), architectures, protocols, services and applications.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Computational Intelligence for Future Internet Architectures
  • Computational Intelligence for Internet Protocols
  • Computational Intelligence for Internet Services and Applications
  • Computational Intelligence for Internet Middleware
  • Computational Intelligence for Data Center Networks
  • Computational Intelligence for Internet of Things
  • Computational Intelligence for Network Softwarization (SDN & NFV)
  • Computational Intelligence for Big Data Networking
  • Computational Intelligence for Cloud Computing
  • Computational Intelligence for Fog Computing
  • Computational Intelligence applied to Applications and Services for Smart Cities


Submission Instructions

Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you have carefully read the submission guidelines for  Journal of Internet Services and Applications. The complete manuscript should be submitted through the  Journal of Internet Services and Applications submission system. To ensure that you submit to the correct thematic series please select the appropriate thematic series in the drop-down menu upon submission. In addition, indicate within your cover letter that you wish your manuscript to be considered as part of the thematic series on "Computational intelligence for internet services and applications".  All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review and accepted articles will be published within the journal as a collection.

Submissions should seek an appropriate balance between content and length. Submissions should seek an appropriate balance between content and length. In all cases, submissions should preferably be between 15 and 25 pages in JISA´s double column format.

It is the wish of the JISA team that all quality articles will be published in the journal independent of the funding capacity of the authors. Thus, if the authors are unable to pay the APC  for open access publication, we request that they contact the lead guest editors and request a waiver.


Submissions will also benefit from the usual advantages of open access publication:

  • Rapid publication: Online submission, electronic peer review and production make the process of publishing your article simple and efficient
  • High visibility and international readership in your field: Open access publication ensures high visibility and maximum exposure for your work - anyone with online access can read your article
  • No space constraints: Publishing online means unlimited space for figures, extensive data and video footage
  • Authors retain copyright, licensing the article under a Creative Commons license: articles can be freely redistributed and reused as long as the article is correctly attributed
