International workshop on Security in Big Data

(SECBD-2017)

Helsinki, Finland, 21-23 August, 2017

The great need of security protection in the usage of big data has driven a brand-new era for big data theoretical research and practical applications. Containing personal and sensitive information, big data easily attracts various attacks in open network. Its inborn properties, such as various formats and huge volume, give rise to inevitable hindrance in fully guaranteeing the security in the areas of data availability, analysis, computing, recovery, as well as in considering legal/human issues in auditing, and many others. It is time to tackle the hindrance to provide secure and high-quality big data service for users. This workshop is intended to bring together international researchers, developers and practitioners in security and big data communities to propose cutting-edge approaches and techniques to fill the gaps between security and big data. We encourage submissions on all theoretical and practical aspects, as well as experimental studies of deployed systems.

Submission Instructions

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 10 pages (extra pages will be charged), including tables, figures, references and appendixes, in Springer LNCS Format with Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please submit your paper via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=secbd2017

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. The workshop paper will be involved into the NSS2017 proceedings published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, EI indexed). Excellent Papers will be recommended to high-quality journal special issues (SCI/SCIE indexed).
