This call invites submissions of high-quality, in-depth survey articles that consolidate and critically assess the current state of the variety of topics in Internet Services and Applications. Comprehensive surveys are essential for advancing research fields, as they organize fragmented knowledge, identify unresolved challenges, and inform future research directions. JISA seeks original surveys addressing the three layers of the Internet: Infrastructure and Networking, Middleware and Distributed Software Platforms, and Applications and Services, as well as the cross-cutting topic of Artificial Intelligence applied to Internet Services and Applications.

 

Topics of Interest

We welcome surveys on all topics within the scope of JISA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Infrastructure and Networking

• Networking protocols and architectures
• Web protocols, standards, and development
• Security and privacy

Middleware and Distributed Software Platforms

• Middleware and distributed software platforms
• Cloud, fog, and edge computing
• Mobile, ubiquitous, pervasive, and context-aware computing

Applications and Services

• Internet of Things
• Big Data
• Applications and services

Transversal Topic

• Artificial Intelligence applied to Internet Services and Applications

Surveys that cut across the three layers above are equally welcome.

Selection process

We welcome submissions from worldwide authors of original, unpublished, and novel in-depth surveys related to the topics of interest. Submissions will be evaluated based on the comprehensiveness of the literature coverage, the depth of critical analysis, the clarity of the proposed taxonomy or organization, and the value of the identified open challenges and future directions.

Important dates

• Submission deadline: 01 November 2026
