Call for Papers: Cybersecurity Challenges in IoT-Driven Geospatial Information Systems

The issues that businesses and individuals have in protecting their systems, networks, and data from cyber threats are known as cyber security challenges. It might also involve human mistake, complicated cyberattacks, a shortage of qualified people, and quickly evolving technology. IoT security issues include data privacy concerns, inadequate upgrades, weak encryption, and device vulnerabilities. Smart refrigerators, WiFi-capable cars, and networked security cameras are examples of computerized items that are connected to the Internet. Securing these devices and making sure they don't pose a threat to a network is known as IoT security. Any technology, procedures, and guidelines aimed at stopping or lessening the effects of cyberattacks are collectively referred to as cybersecurity.

Call for Papers: New Trends of Operations Research and Applications

Since its emergence during the second world war, operations research has been key to problem-solving and decision-making. It has guided tactical, operational, and strategic decisions for governments, industries, banks, and private sectors and shaped policies for infrastructure, health care, transport, finance, manufacturing, telecommunication, among other sensitive areas. Its success, which emanates from the rigor of its exact methods and the efficacy of its approximate methods for scaled real life problems, has been further transformed by the availability of more powerful computing machines. This special issue covers advances in fundamental Operations Research problems, models, methodologies, and application domains, and highlights new directions of research.

We invite submissions of novel research articles for a forthcoming special issue of Kuwait Journal of Science on New trends of operations research and applications. This special issue is open to all novel research papers addressing theoretical as well as practical issues of emergent real-life applications of Operations Research, including compounded and combined problems.
