Transactions on Graph Intelligence and Network Applications (TGINA) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing theoretical foundations, algorithmic innovations, and real-world applications at the intersection of graph intelligence, large language models (LLMs), and networked systems. The journal provides a high-quality platform for disseminating emerging research that integrates graph-structured data, intelligent learning paradigms, and practical applications across diverse network environments. TGINA is published quarterly online by Scilight Press. More

Scope Graph-structured data play a fundamental role in modeling complex relations across social networks, recommender systems, knowledge graphs, cybersecurity, biomedicine, scientific discovery, urban computing, and enterprise intelligence. Recent advances in foundation models, large language models, and agentic intelligence are creating new opportunities for graph-centric applications by enabling large-scale pre-training, cross-domain transfer, prompt-based adaptation, semantic understanding, graph reasoning, retrieval, tool use, planning, and interactive decision-making over graph-structured data. Their convergence is opening a timely research frontier that connects graph learning, language-based intelligence, and autonomous agent systems. This aims to provide a focused venue for high-quality research on Foundation Models and Agentic Intelligence for Graph-Centric Applications. It welcomes theoretical, methodological, empirical, and system-oriented contributions that advance both directions of this emerging intersection: foundation models and agents for graph learning, reasoning, and decision-making, as well as graph-enhanced methods for improving language models, retrieval-augmented generation, autonomous agents, and knowledge-intensive AI systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on graph foundation models, graph-enhanced language models, graph-based reasoning and retrieval, graph agents, trustworthy and scalable graph-centric applications, benchmarks and evaluation protocols, and real-world applications in complex relational domains.

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents are rapidly transforming intelligent systems, networked applications, and decision-making infrastructures. Meanwhile, graph intelligence has emerged as a fundamental paradigm for modeling structured relationships, long-range dependencies, relational reasoning, and interpretable knowledge organization. The integration of graph intelligence with LLMs and autonomous agents is enabling a new generation of intelligent systems capable of memory augmentation, multi-hop reasoning, planning, coordination, and adaptive interaction in complex environments. Emerging paradigms such as GraphRAG, graph-based agent memory, multi-agent coordination graphs, and graph-guided reasoning are attracting growing attention from both academia and industry. However, despite rapid progress, critical challenges remain regarding robustness, reliability, safety, interpretability, alignment, and trustworthy deployment. Graph-enhanced intelligent systems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, memory poisoning, hallucination propagation, unreliable retrieval, unsafe planning, and multi-agent coordination failures. Ensuring trustworthy graph intelligence has therefore become a key requirement for deploying LLMs and autonomous agents in real-world applications involving cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, recommendation systems, scientific discovery, and intelligent infrastructure. This Call for Paper (CFP) aims to provide a high-quality interdisciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of graph intelligence, large language models, autonomous agents, and trustworthy AI. The issue will focus on foundational theories, algorithms, architectures, systems, evaluation methodologies, and real-world applications for trustworthy graph-enhanced intelligent systems.
