The International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies (IJDST) focuses on integration techniques, methods, and tools employed in applied distributed computing systems, architectures, and technologies. IJDST pays particular attention to this dimension as a means of diversifying and broadening the applicability and scope of knowledge in the area of distributed systems and technologies. This journal is dedicated to push developmental boundaries and publish cutting-edge developments related to science-to-science, science-to-business, business-to-business, business-to-customer, and customer-to-customer interactions.Topics covered by IJDST include but are not limited to the heterogeneity and autonomy of Internet, Web, peer-to-peer, service oriented, grid, next generation grid, next generation technologies and other distributed systems paradigms and concepts; algorithms, software, application, services and technologies integration methods; process, resource, service and data virtualization, sharing, and integration; process, resource, service and resource flow management; scheduling; aspects of quality provision, policies; trust, identity management, forensics and security; application developments centered on the integration and management of various (e-) science-to-science, science-to-business, business-to-business, business-to-customer, and customer-to-customer models.

The mission of the International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies (IJDST) is to be a timely publication of original and scholarly research contributions, publishing papers in all aspects of the traditional and emerging areas of applied distributed systems and integration research (including data, agent, and mining technologies) such as next generation technologies, next generation grid, and distributed and throughput computing concepts, as well as related theories, applications, and integrations at various levels. Targeting researchers, practitioners, students, academicians, and industry professionals, IJDST provides an international forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art theories, practices, and empirical research in distributed systems and prompts future community development as a means of promoting and sustaining a network of excellence.

- Standard (Non-OA) Publishing: If the author chooses to publish under the Standard (Non-OA) model, the article will be published under a Green OA model and the copyright of
their article will transfer to IGI Global under our Author Warranty and Transfer of Copyright Agreement.
However, through Green OA, IGI Global supports a Fair Use Policy, enabling authors to Post the final
typeset PDF (which includes the title page, table of contents and other front materials, and the copyright
statement) of their chapter or article (NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK OR JOURNAL ISSUE), on the author or
editor's secure personal website and/or their university repository site. See the Fair Use Policy for sharing allowances conducive to Green Open Access.
- Open Access Publishing: If the author choses to publish under OA, the authors receive the
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licensing arrangement. The copyright for the
work remains solely with the author(s) of the article. Others may distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon
the work, even commercially, without asking prior permission from the publisher or author and so long as
