Volume 24, Issue 2 Editorial
Spring 2025
Most of our readers understand that the Journal of Information Warfare (JIW) has a very close relationship with Academic Conferences International (ACI), https://www.academic-conferences.org/, a United Kingdom based organization that has provided outstanding events around the world for the last quarter century. Just recently, we jointly completed the 20th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security, from 28-29 March 2025, at the William & Mary Law School in Virgina with an outstanding group of 150 academics and practitioners from around the world. It was a great opportunity to meet and collaborate on a wide variety of cyber security-related topics.
The next opportunity is coming soon with the European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ECCWS), ECCWS Academic Conferences International, where the 24th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security will be held on 26-27 June 2025, in Kaiserslautern, Germany, at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. They are still allowing participants to attend, and it should be a great opportunity to discuss both information warfare and cyber security topics in an academic format. Follow-on conferences are forecasted below:
- ICCWS
- 2026 University of North Carolina (Wilmington, NC)
- 2027 Naval Post-Graduate School (Monterey, CA)
- ECCWS
- 2026 Nottingham, United Kingdom
- 2027 Coimbra, Portugal
Finally, we are excited about our most recent version of the journal, as we have another set of eight outstanding research papers to present to our audience. All are double-blind, peer-reviewed (DBPR) and we hope that you enjoy our diverse range of topics:
- Integrated Security Communication: Constructing a Framework Using Design Science Research
- Defining Comprehensive Cognitive Security in the Digital Era: Literature Review and Concept Analysis
- An Analysis of North Korea’s Offensive Cyber Operations
- Variety Dynamics for Taking Control of Complex Heterogenous Systems in Information Warfare
