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
-Big SociaData
-Security and privacy in Big Database
-Applied Cryptography for Big Data
-Big Data system security
-Mobile Social Networks security
-Security and privacy in cloud
-Forensics in Social Networks and Big Data


Instructions for authors
========================

Submission Website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=snab2015

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference
with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not
exceed 8 pages in A4 format, including tables, figures, references and
appendixes, in IEEE Computer Society proceedings format with Portable
