Topics/Call fo Papers

The rapid development of digital sensors, networks, and smart devices long with their extensive use is leading to the creation of huge collections of data, and coins the term Big Data. Big Data is characterized by the integration of a significant amount of data, of varying modalities or types, at a pace that cannot be handled by traditional data management systems. Since huge amounts of data in unstructured and semi-structured forms are being generated from various sources, new platforms, frameworks and methodologies are required for to data management, data safety and data analytics.
Cloud Computing enables computing resources to be provided as IT services in a pay-as-you-go fashion with high efficiency and effectiveness. Cloud-based platforms with overwhelming advantages over traditional platforms are increasingly utilized as potential hosts for Big Data. However, 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 a great challenge for Big Data. Especially on cloud-based platforms, there are two important aspects of Big Data Security. One is how to protect Big Data, the other is how to using Big Data analytic technique to enhance security of the whole system. Current work on Big Data focuses on information processing such as data mining and analysis. However, security and privacy of Big Data are vital concerns that have received less research focus. The aim of this special issue is to solicit both original research and tutorial articles that discuss the security and privacy of Big Data within the cloud.
