Call for papers: The 3rd International Symposium on Privacy and Security in Cloud and Big Data (PriSec 2014), 3-5 December 2014, Sydney, Australia Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/prisec2014/ Important dates: Deadline for Paper Submission: June 25, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: August 25, 2014 Camera Ready Copies: October 15, 2014 Submissions: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prisec2014 Publications: All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Selected papers will be invited to special issues of BdCloud in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. ------------ Introduction: Cloud Computing and Big Data are two emerging paradigms in the recent developments of information technology. Cloud Computing enables computing resources to be provided as IT services in a pay-as-you-go fashion with high efficiency and effectiveness. 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.With Variety/Volume/Velocity/Value/Veracity/, Big Data such as medical records need to be protected in an scalable and efficient way. Information privacy and security is one of most concerned issues for Cloud Computing due to its open environment with very limited user-side control. It is also an important challenge for Big Data as estimated by IDC. In addition, Cloud Computing and Big Data are coming together in practice. As estimated by IDC, by 2020, about 40% data globally would be touched with Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and distributed capability in support of Big Data processing. As such, there is a strong demand to investigate information privacy and security challenges in both Cloud Computing and Big Data. This symposium aims at providing such forum for researchers, practitioners and developers from different background areas such as distributed computing, cloud computing, big data, database, data mining, 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 and big data environments. The symposium solicits high quality research results in all related areas. This is the third instalment of the symposium, following the successful events of 2013 (Karlsruhe, Germany) and 2012 (Xiangtan, China). Scope and 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: Track 1: Privacy and Security in Cloud · Privacy modelling in cloud computing · Privacy correlation between multiple services in cloud computing · Trust based privacy protection in cloud computing · Privacy categorisation in cloud computing · Privacy models for outsourcing · Privacy preserving data publishing on cloud · User privacy, service providers privacy and cloud platform privacy · Privacy requirements engineering on cloud · Private information retrieval on cloud · Privacy and security in personal health records on cloud · Privacy mechanisms in cloud services · Privacy aware scheduling in cloud · Security models, levels and scenarios in cloud computing · Secure identity management in clouds · Secure data management in cloud computing · Secure access to clouds · Remote data integrity protection · Securing distributed data storage in the cloud · Data-centric security and data classification · Cost and usability models related security issues in clouds · Interaction security between usability models in cloud computing · Secure Job deployment and scheduling on cloud · Secure resource allocation and indexing · User authentication and authorisation in cloud services · Auditing in cloud computing · Cloud threat models · Multi-tenancy related security/privacy issues · Security/privacy/trust issues in SaaS/PaaS/IaaS · Secure virtual machine mechanisms in cloud computing · Vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure · Vulnerabilities in MapReduce · Fault tolerance, exception handling and reliability issues in cloud · Application programming environment Track 2: Privacy and Security in Big Data · Secure quantum communications · Privacy in Big Data applications and services · Privacy in Big Data end-point input validation and filtering · Privacy in Big Data integration and transformation · Privacy in parallel and distributed computation · Privacy in Big Data storage management · Privacy in Big Data access control mechanisms · Privacy in Big Data mining and analytics · Privacy in Big Data sharing and visualization · Big Data privacy policies and standards · Security model and architecture for Big Data · Data mining security for Big Data · Software and system security for Big Data · Cryptography in Big Data · Visualizing large scale security data · Threat detection using Big Data analytics · Human computer interaction challenges for Big Data security · Data protection, integrity standards and policies · Security and legislative impacts for Big Data · Managing user access for Big Data · Scalability and auditing for Big Data Submission Guidelines: Submit your papers in PDF file at the PriSec2014 submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prisec2014.

Call for papers: The 3rd *IEEE International Conference *on Big Data Science and Engineering (BDSE2014), 24-26 September 2014, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdse2014/ Important dates: Submission Deadline: 11:59PM (UTC/GMT+8 hours) May 5, 2014 Authors Notification: June 30, 2014 Final Manuscript Due: July 20, 2014 Submissions: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/bdse2014/submission.htm Publications All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society (EI indexed). Selected papers will be recommended to special issues of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications; Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Cloud 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) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). 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. Big data is more than simply a matter of size; it is an opportunity to find insights in new and emerging types of data and content, to make business more agile, and to answer questions that were previously considered beyond our reach. 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. 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. BDSE 2014 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences, previously held as BDSE2013 (Sydney Australia), BigDataMR-12 (Xiangtan, China November 2012), AHPCN-12 (Bradford, UK, June 2012), AHPCN-11 (Banff, Canada, September 2011), AHPCN-10 (Melbourne, Australia, September 2010), AHPCN-09 (Seoul, Korea, June 2009), AHPCN-08 (Dalian, China, September 2008).
