Journal of Communications Special Issue on
Recent Advances on Controlling Unwanted Internet Traffic

http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_racuit.html

One of the key challenges facing today's Internet is the
proliferation of unwanted Internet traffic such as spam,
phishing scam, worm, virus, and Distributed Denial of Services
(DDoS) attacks. They raise serious concerns over the suitability
of the Internet for supporting critical infrastructures including
communication, finance, energy distribution, and transportation
in its current form. Building trustworthy networks to effectively
control unwanted Internet traffic is a grand challenge faced by
the networking community and has a profound impact on the future
development of the Internet.

In this special issue, we solicit original work on identifying
new research and development challenges and developing new
architectures, protocols, and techniques to control unwanted
Internet traffic. Specific topics include, but are not limited to,
the followings:

* Accountable Internet architecture and protocol
* IP spoofing control and IP traceback
* Application-layer traffic traceback, e.g. VoIP traceback
* Worm and virus propagation modeling and control
* Botnet detection and control
* Spam control
* Phishing scam analysis and control
* Novel applications of virtual machine technique in unwanted traffic control
