Special Issues of Journals and Handbooks

Elsevier Online Social Networks and Media Journal (OSNEM), Special issue on Disinformation, toxicity, harms in Online Social Networks and Media. (Submission Due 31 March 2025) [posted here 1/20/25]
Guest Editors: Marco Conti (IIT-CNR, Italy), Andrea Passarella (IIT-CNR, Italy), and Arkaitz Zubiaga (Queen Mary University of London, UK)

Online Social Networks and Media have revolutionized society, and are now a key part of how most people work, live, socialize, find information and entertain themselves. But whilst they have generated huge benefits, leading to unprecedented connectivity across the globe, online social networks have also enabled the spread of hazardous and dangerous behaviours. Chiefly, this is generated by disinformation campaign and fake news, generation and spread of toxic content, deliberate or unconscious generation and spreading of harmful content. Generative AI is exponentially exacerbating the diffusion of toxic content, while, quite interestingly, not being equally used to counteract harmful behaviours. On the other hand, content moderation techniques are emerging, aiming at providing practical tools to fight against online harms driven by toxic content. This special issue seeks high-quality scientific articles which examine, via a data-driven approach, the emergence of harmful behaviours in OSNEM, as well as tools and methods to fight against them. We particularly encourage papers which focus on online hate, misinformation, disinformation, toxic content. Data-driven approaches, supported by existing or new publicly available datasets, are strongly encouraged.

SACMAT 2025 30th ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies, Stony Brook, NY, USA, July 8-10, 2025. (Submission Due 24 March 2025) [posted here 2/17/25]
Access control has long been one of the most widely adopted and foundational security technologies. It has been seamlessly integrated into operating systems like Multics and UnixÑpioneering platforms that contributed to Turing Award-winning innovationsÑand continues to underpin security in modern mobile devices and cloud computing. Its efficiency and effectiveness have stood the test of time. However, the landscape of computing has dramatically changed since the inception of the ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT) conference in 1994. We now operate in a deeply interconnected, networked world where no single application or device can act as a fully trusted reference monitor to enforce access control in isolation. This shift demands new trust models, management strategies, enforcement techniques, and supporting mechanisms, such as advanced authentication. In response, SACMAT 2025 invites submissions presenting novel contributions in efficient and effective security mechanisms for distributed, networked computing environments.

TX4Nets 2025 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks, Co-located with IFIP Networking 2025, Limassol, Cyprus, May 25-29, 2025. (Submission Due 31 March 2025) [posted here 2/10/25]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in communication networks, reshaping their design, management, and optimization. In several areas, these systems hold the promise of significantly enhancing service provisioning and network operations. However, the adoption of AI-based systems in the telecom domain has been relatively slow, with operators expressing skepticism about their use for automated network management. This hesitation stems from several key challenges: first, the reliability of these models must be thoroughly understood before they can be deployed in critical infrastructure. Second, the opaque nature of ML/AI modelsÑstemming from a lack of transparencyÑcomplicates understanding their behavior and decisions, preventing operators from fully trusting and adopting them. To address these issues, the 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks (TX4NETs) aims to serve as a collaborative platform to drive advancements in AI systems that are not only powerful but also reliable, interpretable, and aligned with the expectations of network operators.

The 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks seeks to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to delve into the latest advancements in AI and their applications in communication networks. The workshop will center on the foundational pillars of trustworthy AI, including transparency, robustness, reliability, adaptability, security, data privacy, and computational efficiency, with a focus on their implications for automating and optimizing network operations. Participants will engage in discussions around innovative techniques and methodologies that foster trustworthiness to address challenges in creating AI-driven network systems that inspire confidence.

APWG eCrime 2025 20th APWG Symposium on Electronic Crime Research, San Diego, CA, USA, November 4-7, 2025. (Submission Due 15 July 2025) [posted here 3/17/25]
The 2025 Symposium on Electronic Crime Research (eCrime 2025) will examine essential factors for managing the impacts of the global cybercrime plexus to secure IT users, commercial enterprises, governments, critical infrastructure, and operational technologies. eCrime 2025 will be the 20th annual peer-reviewed, publishing symposium hosted by APWG. This year, eCrime 2025 inaugurates a dimensional extension of the symposium's purview to include research on cyber-physical crimes. From 2025 forward, eCrime will specifically solicit research on cybercrimes involving cyber-physical systems and operational technologies abused in the furtherance of any crime. This expands eCrime's scope from purely cyber (digital) crimes to include those that manifest abuse against physical spaces, such as homes, commercial enterprises, scientific or military facilities, roadways, public spaces, critical infrastructure and devices (e.g. IoT, electro-mechanical controllers, sensors, etc.). With the rise of cyber attacks inflicting physical damage - as exhibited in the Stuxnet attacks, the cyber incursions against the Ukrainian electrical grid a decade ago and the Colonial pipeline shutdown - as well as the rapid evolution of malware designed to manipulate SCADA and ICS process control technologies, it w as clear eCrime's CFP scope had to be expanded once more to maintain relevance to the contemporary cyber threatscape.

EURASIP Journal on Information Security aims to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with the general field of information security, with a particular emphasis on the use of signal processing tools in adversarial environments. As such, it addresses all works whereby security is achieved through a combination of techniques from cryptography, computer security, machine learning and multimedia signal processing. Application domains lie, for example, in secure storage, retrieval and tracking of multimedia data, secure outsourcing of computations, forgery detection of multimedia data, or secure use of biometrics. The journal also welcomes survey papers that give the reader a gentle introduction to one of the topics covered as well as papers that report large-scale experimental evaluations of existing techniques. Pure cryptographic papers are outside the scope of the journal. The journal also welcomes proposals for Special Issues. All papers must be submitted online at http://jis.eurasipjournals.com/manuscript.  More information can be found at http://jis.eurasipjournals.com.
