Special issues: Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Journal of Computer and System Science =========== Introduction Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments in their own IT infrastructures.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 9th International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security (SNAMS-2022) http://emergingtechnet.org/SNAMS2022/index.php Milan, Italy. November 29th - December 1st, 2022 *SNAMS 2022 CFP:* Social network analysis is concerned with the study of relationships between social entities. The recent advances in internet technologies and social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have created outstanding opportunities for individuals to connect, communicate or comment on issues or events of their interests. Social networks are dynamic and evolving in nature; they also involve a huge number of users. Frequently, the information related to a certain concept is distributed among several servers. This brings numerous challenges to researchers, particularly in the data mining and machine learning fields. The purpose of the International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security(SNAMS-2022) is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss their work which is related to social network analysis. The SNAMS 2022 is col-located with the 8th IEEE International Symposium on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS). SNAMS 2022 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of Social Networks. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate SNAMS challenges. That is, the objective of SNAMS 2022 is to provide the opportunity for students, scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Social Networks. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to: *SYSTEMS & INFRASTRUCTURE* Systems and algorithms for social search Infrastructure support for social networks and systems Dynamics and evolution patterns of large and complex networks Social properties in systems design Learnings from operational social networks Data Collection Big Data and Social Paradigms *ALGORITHMS AND MODELS* Deep Learning and Knowledge Discovery.
