Aims and Scope

Modern computer networks and communication systems are increasing in size, scope, and heterogeneity. The promise of a single end-to-end technology has not been realized and likely never will occur. The decreasing cost of bandwidth is increasing the possible applications of computer networks and communication systems to entirely new domains. Problems in integrating heterogeneous wired and wireless technologies, ensuring security and quality of service, and reliably operating large-scale systems including the inclusion of cloud computing have all emerged as important topics. The one constant is the need for network management. Challenges in network management have never been greater than they are today. The International Journal of Network Management is the forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners in network management to present their work to an international audience. The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of information, which will enable improved management, operation, and maintenance of computer networks and communication systems. The journal is peer reviewed and publishes original papers (both theoretical and experimental) by leading researchers, practitioners, and consultants from universities, research laboratories, and companies around the world. Issues with thematic or guest-edited special topics typically occur several times per year. Topic areas for the journal are largely defined by the taxonomy for network and service management developed by IFIP WG6.6, together with IEEE-CNOM, the IRTF-NMRG and the Emanics Network of Excellence. The taxonomy is available here
 
Readership

AI-based techniques are emerging as key enablers for intelligent, autonomous, and adaptive network management. Recent advances in deep learning, generative AI, and large language models have opened new opportunities for automating network operations and management tasks. At the same time, the adoption of AI in network management raises important challenges related to trustworthiness, explainability, robustness, scalability, interoperability, and operational deployment. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present original contributions on the theory, design, implementation, validation, and real-world application of AI-based approaches for network management. The issue will highlight recent advances, emerging trends, practical experiences, and open research challenges in the field.

Special Issue on Blockchain Interoperability and Cross-Chain Technologies: Protocols, Security, and the Future of an Interconnected Web3
Día de Entrega: 2026-08-31

Blockchain technology is rapidly transforming various sectors, but the continuous proliferation of diverse, independent blockchain networks has led to a highly fragmented ecosystem. As the adoption of decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi), and enterprise blockchains grows, the isolated nature of individual ledgers—often operating as disconnected silos—has become a significant bottleneck. Conventional single-chain architectures are no longer sufficient to ensure seamless data sharing, cross-network liquidity, and unified user experiences. Cross-chain technologies and interoperability protocols are emerging as key enablers to bridge these isolated networks and build a fully interconnected Web3 ecosystem. Recent advances in cross-chain bridges, atomic swaps, interoperability frameworks, and decentralized relay networks have opened new opportunities for seamless asset transfers, cross-chain smart contract execution, and state synchronization across heterogeneous blockchains. At the same time, the rapid development and adoption of cross-chain solutions raise critical challenges related to security vulnerabilities, trust models, scalability, decentralization guarantees, and the lack of universal interoperability standards. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present original contributions on the theory, design, implementation, validation, and real-world application of cross-chain technologies and blockchain interoperability. The issue will highlight recent advances, emerging trends, practical experiences, and open research challenges in the field. Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to: Cross-chain protocols and interoperability mechanisms Cross-chain bridges and bridge security models Zero-knowledge–based cross-chain protocols and ZK bridges Intent-based bridges and intent-centric cross-chain architectures Cross-chain application protocols and composable cross-chain dApps Cross-chain digital asset, cryptocurrency, and NFT protocols Cross-chain crypto-economic and incentive design Cross-chain function call and message-passing protocols Cross-chain CBDC protocols and payment infrastructures Cross-chain MEV design and mitigation Cross-chain rollup and modular blockchain design Cross-chain communication protocols and routing schemes Empirical analysis and measurement of cross-chain protocols Modular design and cross-chain system architectures Privacy and confidentiality in cross-chain mechanisms Vulnerabilities, attacks, and mitigations in cross-chain mechanisms Organizational and information systems requirements for cross-chain adoption Guest Editors: Dr. Babu Pillai Griffith University Australia Dr. Kamanashis Biswas Australian Catholic University Australia Mr. Guzman Llambia Universidad de la República Uruguay Keywords: data sharing; decentralization; interoperability https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991190/homepage/call-for-papers/si-2026-000392

Special Issue on Architectures and Ecosystems for Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Security, Compliance, and the Future of Digital Assets
Día de Entrega: 2026-09-30

Cryptocurrencies, originating with Bitcoin as a means of global electronic payment, are rapidly transforming the landscape of digital assets and decentralized finance. As the digital economy becomes increasingly complex, conventional financial infrastructures and early isolated cryptocurrency models are no longer sufficient to support the diverse and expanding ecosystem of utility tokens, security tokens, and stablecoins. Cryptocurrency exchanges—both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX)—are emerging as key enablers and central hubs for the trading, management, and utilization of thousands of digital assets. Recent advances in exchange architectures have opened new opportunities for providing comprehensive financial ecosystems, extending far beyond simple trading to include decentralized finance (DeFi) services, staking and yield earning, payment and merchant services, institutional custody, and NFT marketplaces. At the same time, the rapid evolution and operational expansion of these crypto exchanges raise important challenges related to regulatory compliance, security vulnerabilities, market manipulation, liquidity provision, decentralization trade-offs, and overall system resilience. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present original contributions on the theory, design, implementation, validation, and real-world application of cryptocurrency exchanges and related digital asset services. The issue will highlight recent advances, emerging trends, practical experiences, and open research challenges in the field. Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to: Stablecoins (design, issuance, risk, regulation) Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) Security Tokens & Tokenized Securities Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) Digital Asset Custody Services (DACS) Centralized Crypto Exchanges (CEX) Decentralized Crypto Exchanges (DEX) Automated Market Makers (AMM) Liquidity Pools Trading & Withdrawal Fee Mechanisms Support for Multi-chain / Cross-chain Transactions Proof of Reserves (PoR) Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Crypto Arbitrage Strategies Innovative Financial Services in Web3 Wallet Architectures (custodial / non-custodial / smart wallets) Key Management & Digital Signatures Account Abstraction and Wallet UX Institutional-grade Custody Solutions Security Attacks on Crypto & DeFi Systems Smart Contract Vulnerabilities MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and Market Manipulation Exchange Failures and Incident Analysis Operational Security & Risk Management AI / ML for Crypto Trading On-chain Data Analytics Fraud Detection and Anomaly Detection AI-driven Risk Assessment for Digital Assets KYC / AML Technologies FATF Travel Rule Compliance Regulatory Technology (RegTech) for Crypto Laws and Regulations for Digital Assets Compliance Challenges for Multi-jurisdictional Operations Exchange Operations & Infrastructure Management Scalability, Performance & Reliability Monitoring, Auditing, and Transparency Governance Models for Crypto Platforms Guest Editors: Dr. Kristian Kostal Slovak University of Technology Slovakia Prof. James W.

Special Issue on AI-driven Management and MLOps for Networks and Services
Día de Entrega: 2026-10-31

The increasing scale, programmability, and heterogeneity of modern networks and digital services are driving a fundamental shift in management paradigms. Communication infrastructures now operate across cloud, edge, mobile, IoT, and domain-specific environments, where service agility and operational resilience depend on timely, intelligent, and automated management decisions. In parallel, AI is becoming an essential component of operational systems, supporting prediction, optimization, control, and decision assistance across the management stack. This evolution creates a twofold research opportunity. First, AI-driven techniques are redefining how networks and services are monitored, analyzed, optimized, and controlled. Second, the growing operational use of AI models introduces the need for robust lifecycle management practices, including data engineering, model validation, deployment, monitoring, governance, and continuous adaptation. Together, these perspectives motivate a unified view of network and service management that integrates both intelligent automation and the operational management of AI itself. This Special Issue invites original contributions on methods, architectures, systems, platforms, and operational experiences related to AI-driven management and MLOps for networks and services. We welcome work that advances theoretical foundations, reports experimental or real-world results, and addresses the practical challenges of deploying trustworthy AI in operational environments. Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to: AI-driven monitoring, analysis, and control for networks and services Machine learning for service assurance, fault management, and root-cause analysis Large language models and foundation models for network and service operations Reinforcement learning for adaptive orchestration and autonomous control AI-driven management for cloud-native, edge, 5G/6G, and IoT environments Data pipelines, model training, validation, deployment, and continuous delivery for network AI Monitoring, observability, and drift management for AI models in production Governance, accountability, and policy compliance for operational AI Security and privacy in AI lifecycle management and inference pipelines Robustness against adversarial manipulation, poisoning, and model misuse Resource-efficient AI for network and service management Explainability, transparency, and trust in AI-driven operational decisions Benchmarks, datasets, testbeds, and evaluation methodologies Operational case studies, deployment experiences, and lessons learned Guest Editors: Dr. Marc-Oliver Pahl IMT Atlantique France Dr. Hanan Lutfiyya University of Western Ontario Canada Dr. Stuart Slayman University College London United Kingdom Keywords: application lifecycle management; cloud computing; computer science https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991190/homepage/call-for-papers/si-2026-000414
