Volume 16, Issue 1 Editorial
Winter 2017
We certainly live in interesting times. Just look at the 
United States presidential election in 2016. Which of the following were at play? Partisan politics? Russian interference? Information Warfare? An act of war? All of the above? Or, none of the above? The articles in this latest edition of the Journal of Information Warfare cover issues and ideas as wide-ranging as the possibilities so characteristic of our current times. We hope you enjoy these papers.
For those looking for additional opportunities to publish academic articles in these areas, the
16th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security will be held at University College Dublin in June 2017. Following that, the 13th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security will be hosted by the National Defense University (NDU) in Washington, D.C., in March 2018; the 17th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security will be held in Oslo, Norway in July 2018; and the 18th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security will be held at the University of Coimbra in Portugal in July 2019.
In addition, Edith Cowan University’s Security Research Institute in Perth, Australia, is holding the 2017 SRI Security Congress in the late November-early December timeframe, in Perth, Australia. All of the conferences of this federated series are co-located and offer attendees the opportunity to interact with a number of different, but inter-related cyber events and lectures:
· 17th Australian Information Warfare Conference
· 15th Australian Information Security Management Conference
· 15th Australian Digital Forensics Conference
· 10th Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
· 5th Australian e-Health Informatics and Security Conference
