Hello, and welcome to the DTRAP blog, which is associated with the new ACM journal Digital Threats: Research and Practice, known as “DTRAP”.
This blog will serve two purposes: first, for the editorial staff to post about the journal (administrative posts). We’ll help you stay informed about the journal’s plans for special issues, association with particular conferences, and featured papers.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, the blog will allow you to informally publish interesting results in the same areas of interest covered by the journal, which are the “identification, prevention, mitigation, and elimination of digital threats in all areas, including computer hardware, software, networks, robots, industrial automation, firmware, digital devices, etc.”
This second purpose provides a bridge to those who have done significant work, but haven’t been able to prepare a paper that would meet the bar set by the journal itself (what exactly that bar is will be the subject of the next blog post). Then, you can either leave your work as a blog post, or we could guide you to publishing in the journal.
Please note that you don’t need to be associated with any academic institution, or indeed any company, to publish in our blog (or indeed in the journal)–we’ll let your work speak for itself, as long as it meets our standards.
