Researchers and practitioners have embraced cloud computing as a new approach that has the potential for a profound impact in our daily life and world economy. About 40% data globally would be related to cloud computing by 2020, as estimated by IDC. The large volume of data has big complexity and variety. To avoid system fragility and defend against vulnerabilities exploration from cyber attacker, various security techniques and tools have been developed for Big Data on cloud. There are two important aspects of Big Data Security, especially in cloud computing environment. One is how to protect big data, the other is how to using big data analytic technique to enhance security of the whole system. The objective of BigDataSecurity 2015 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of Big Data Security on cloud. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: Big data model in New Paradigms Big data security Big data privacy Big data storage, integration, service, mining Big data security applications, such as healthcare, transportation, environment, education, business, library, media, finance, etc. Cyber hacking, next generation fire wall Cyber monitoring, incident response Database security, data center security Social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing Cyber threat intelligence Security and fault tolerance for embedded or ubiquitous systems Tele-health security Sensor network security Security policy and legal considerations Cloud and networking security Cloud computing and networking models Virtualization for big data on cloud MapReduce with cloud for big data processing Heterogeneous architecture for cloud computing Dynamic resource sharing algorithm for cloud computing Load balance for cloud computing Mobile cloud computing Mobile commerce security and privacy Green cloud computing Embedded networks and sensor network optimizations Cyber Security in emergent technologies Important Dates Paper submission due Acceptance notification Camera-ready due Author registration Conference : June 6, 2015 : June 15, 2015 : July 15, 2015 : July 15. 2015 : Aug. 24-26, 2015 Submission Information Submitted manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column, template available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates. html). Full Papers (up to 6 pages complimentary, or 12 pages with the over length charge), Short Papers (up to 4 pages complimentary, or 6 pages with the over length charge), and Posters (up to 1 page complimentary, or 2 pages with the over length charge) are solicited. See Instructions for authors. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair (https:/easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bigdatasecurity2015). The accepted papers from this conference will be published by IEEE Computer Society in IEEE proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be considered for possible publication in several SCI & EI indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. By submitting a paper to the conference, authors assure that if the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference and present the paper.
