Conference Outline
===
Social Networks and Big Data have pervaded all aspects of our daily lives. With their unparalleled popularity, social networks have evolved from the platforms for social communication and news dissemination, to indispensable tools for professional networking, social recommendations, marketing, and online content distribution. Social Networks, together with other activities, produce Big Data that beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process within a tolerable elapsed time.
Due to their scale, complexity and heterogeneity, a number of technical and social challenges in Social Networks and Big Data must be addressed. It has been widely recognized that security and privacy are the critical issues. On one hand, Social Networks and Big Data have been the effective platform for the attackers to launch attacks and distribute malicious information. On the other hand, privacy leakage through Social Networks and Big Data has become common exercise. The aim of SocialSec 2015 is to provide a leading edge forum to foster interactions between researchers and developers with the security and privacy communities in Social Networks and Big Data, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and governments.
Conference Topics
===
The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security and privacy in Social Networks and Big Data. Papers describing case studies, implementation experiences, and lessons learned are also encouraged. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-Attacks in/via Social Networks
-Information control and detection
-Malicious behaviour modelling in Social Networks
-Malicious information propagation via Social Networks
-Phishing problems in Social Networks
-Privacy protection in Social Networks
-Big Data analytics for threats and attacks prediction
-Spam problems in Social Networks
-Trust and reputations in Social Networks
-Big Data outsourcing
-Big Data forensics
