Call for papers: The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (BDSE2013), 3-5 December 2013, Sydney, Australia. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdds2013/ Important dates: Submission Deadline: July 15, 2013 Authors Notification: September 15, 2013 Final Manuscript Due: September 30, 2013 Submission site: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdds2013/submission.htm Special Issues: Distinguised papers will be recommeded to special issues in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, Journal of Systems and Software, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing. ------------ 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). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technologies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. Following its success in 2012 as BigDataMR2012 workshop, this conference aims at providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from different background areas such as data intensive computing, computational science, cloud computing, distributed computing and database area to exchange the latest experience, research ideas and synergic research and development on fundamental issues and applications about big data and distributed systems. The symposium solicits high quality research results in all related areas. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data and broadly related areas. Scope and Topics The objective of the conference is to invite authors to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances in all aspects of big data.

As the new generation computing paradigm, cloud enables computing resources to be provided as IT services in a pay-as-you-go fashion with high efficiency and effectiveness. With the popularity of social software as well as the fast development of cloud and other high-performance computing infrastructures, the outcome of social network analysis is becoming more and more attractive. However, information privacy and security issues are major challenges in both these areas. This symposium aims at providing a forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from different background areas such as distributed computing, social computing, information security and privacy protection areas to exchange the latest experience, research ideas and synergic research and development on fundamental issues and applications about security and privacy issues in cloud environments and social networks. The symposium solicits high quality research results in all related areas. Topics: The objective of this symposium is to invite authors to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate and explore current advances in all aspects of security and privacy in cloud computing environments. The symposium solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: Security and privacy in Big Data management Application of modern cryptography in cloud and social networks Emerging threats in cloud-based services Multi-tenancy related security/privacy issues Secure virtualisation mechanisms Vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure Vulnerabilities in MapReduce Security modelling and threats in cloud computing Security/privacy in hybrid cloud Auditing in cloud computing Access control in cloud computing Secure Job deployment and scheduling Secure resource allocation and indexing User authentication in cloud services Practical privacy and integrity mechanisms for data outsourcing Foundations of cloud-centric threat models Information hiding Trust and policy management in cloud Secure identity management mechanisms Security/privacy/trust issues in SaaS/PaaS/IaaS Business and security risk models Cost and usability models related security issues in clouds Security for emerging cloud programming models Remote data integrity protection Securing distributed data storage in the cloud Data-centric security and data classification Security and privacy in mobile cloud Intrusion detection/prevention Malware propagation in social networks Information leakage via social networks Social currency mechanisms - potential and risks Privacy management in social networks - access controls, permissions Identity theft in social networks Collaborative detection of distributed network attacks Peer-to-peer based security mechanisms Trust and reputation in social networks Socially inspired network security architectures Socially aware network security protocols Security configuration based on social contexts groups (social-firewall, authentication protocols, etc.) Configuring security protocol parameters based on social information Privacy-preserving methods for data access and data mining Domain Security Privacy Requirements Engineering Private Information Retrieval Privacy and Security in Personal Health Records Online Social Footprints Secure Multi-party Computation Privacy Mechanisms in Services Pseudonymity and Anonymity Modelling Software Security Engineering Integrity Verification Trust Development in Collaboration Teams Usable Privacy Design Privacy Aware Access Control Model Multi-Faceted Privacy Preservation Access Control and RBAC Policies General Chairs: Philip S.
