Scope of TDSC
IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC) is a bimonthly journal that publishes archival research results focusing on research into foundations, methodologies, and mechanisms that support the achievement—through design, modeling, and evaluation—of systems and networks that are dependable and secure to the desired degree without compromising performance. The focus also includes measurement, modeling, and simulation techniques, and foundations for jointly evaluating, verifying, and designing for performance, security, and dependability constraints. As noted in the Jan-Mar. 2009 editorial, please note the following additional clarification of our scope: "Our Editorial Board decided that papers of purely theoretical interest in the area of cryptography without a clear and manifest application to a specific problem of dependability or security would fall out of the purview of these Transactions; similarly, papers addressing generic systems-management problems, as opposed to specific dependability and security challenges, as well those solving device-level, as opposed to system-level, dependability and security concerns, would also be out of our publication's scope." >>> View the topics included within the scope of TDSC.
TDSC welcomes proposals for topic-oriented special issues. Guidelines are provided here.
In addition to policies specified at Instructions for Peer Review, TDSCspecifically has the following policies: (1) Papers which require a major revision will not receive a second major revision recommendation. In such situations the paper will be rejected. Authors should not assume that a major revision will lead to eventual acceptance. (2) The scope of topics was clarified in the editorial of the Jan-Mar 2009 issue as follows. "Our Editorial Board decided that papers of purely theoretical interest in the area of cryptography without a clear and manifest application to a specific problem of dependability or security would fall out of the purview of these Transactions; similarly, papers addressing generic systems-management problems, as opposed to specific dependability and security challenges, as well those solving device-level, as opposed to system-level, dependability and security concerns, would also be out of our publication's scope." (3) TDSC requires meaningful technical novelty in submissions that extend previously published conference papers. Extension beyond the conference version(s) is not simply a matter of length. Thus, expanded motivation, expanded discussion of related work, variants of previously reported algorithms, incremental additional experiments/simulations, may provide additional length but will fall below the line for proceeding with review.
