Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 5

This Weekly Writing Assignment is meant to help you vet or evaluate where some of your research comes from and report back what you find. Watch this week’s lecture before performing this assignment so that you learn more about the process that I suggest for discovering the information requested below.

For this assignment, refer to two journal articles from different journals that you came across in your research (or, search for your Expanded Definition term again in IEEExplore and/or Academic Search Complete to find two examples for this assignment).

Using the built-in tools in the databases where you found the article and search sites like Google, DuckDuckgo, or Bing, learn more about the specialization of the journal and the kinds of research that it publishes and find out the name of the editor-in-chief and their professional background (degrees, affiliation, and research specializations).

Then, type a short paragraph in your word process of choice that identifies the name of the two journals that you investigated for this assignment and describe in your own words what each journal specializes in. And, identify each journal’s editor-in-chief and describe their professional details, such as degrees and where they were earned, their affiliation (where they work/teach), and their research specializations (if possible to find).

Finally, copy-and-paste your paragraph into a comment added to this post.

This assignment should not take very long. Focus most of your time this week on completing a draft of your Expanded Definition essay.

  1. An article that I found through the IEEE Xplore page that relates to my topic of data encryption was “Encryption-Based Solution for Data Sovereignty in Federated Clouds” which goes into detail about how the demand for more cloud services in federal settings are becoming more. With the growth of cloud services in federal settings, the need for strong data encryption is crucial for the security of information. The editor in chief for this journal posted by IEEE Cloud Computing is Mazin Yousif who was the editor in chief from February 2014 through December 2018. Yousif received his Ph.D. in computer engineering from Penn State (Pennsylvania State University). His colleagues state how Yousif is very intelligent in his field of study and years of experience with cloud computing and ensuring the safety of data encryption. Another article that I found that highlighted another purpose of data encryption was “Lightweight Selective Encryption for Social Data Protection Based on EBCOT Coding” published by IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems. The article talks about the large number of social media users, the social data collected from each user could be at risk if not stored and protected properly. It goes on to speak about how encrypting users’ data can protect them from data links and a way that programmers can utilize data encryption tools for their software for social media platforms. Editor in chief for EEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems is Bin Hu. Hu joined the IEEE as a fellow of the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) in which during his time was awarded many awards such as the 2018 Chinese National Technology Invention Award.
