The widespread adoption of technology, such as cloud computing, mobile communication, sensor networks, and artificial intelligence, poses significant challenges and opportunities for military defense and national security. In the current technological landscape, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has the potential to greatly enhance capabilities and fundamentally change the speed, scale, adaptability, and efficiency of defense and national security operations. The adoption of IoT will enhances situational awareness by connecting various components such as soldiers, military vehicles, ships, tanks, aircrafts, satellites, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
Submission Guidelines
Articles should be general, independent of technical and business specialty and intended to an audience consisting of all members of the IoT community and especially experts involved in the military defense and national security world at all of the academic, industrial and governmental level. Manuscripts are expected to add to the knowledge base or best practices of the IoT community. Authors are asked to strive to make their papers understandable by the general IoT practitioner. Mathematical material should be avoided; instead, references to papers containing the relevant mathematics should be provided. Authors are encouraged to use color figures and submit multimedia material along with their articles for review. We encourage practice and implementation works.
Editors may provide a quick response to the papers that may not fit this SI. Authors should target 4,500 words or less (from introduction through conclusions, excluding figures, tables, and captions), or six (6) pages. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six (6). The number of archival references for an original submission is not to exceed fifteen (15).
Manuscripts should conform to the standard format as indicated in the Information for Authors section of the Paper Submission Guidelines. All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted by the deadline through the magazine’s Manuscript Central site.
