********************* BACKGROUND AND SCOPE ********************* The phrase "Big Data" refers to large, diverse, complex, longitudinal, and/or distributed data sets generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, and/or all other digital sources available today and in the future, as defined by U.S. National Science Foundation in its recent solicitation. The research of Big Data will accelerate the progress of scientific discovery and innovation; lead to new fields of inquiry that would not otherwise be possible; encourage the development of new data analytic tools and algorithms; facilitate scalable, accessible, and sustainable data infrastructure; increase understanding of human and social processes and interactions; and promote economic growth and improved health and quality of life. The new knowledge, tools, practices, and infrastructures produced will enable breakthrough discoveries and innovation in science, engineering, medicine, commerce, education, and national security. Big Data presents critical requirements for security in data collection and transmission of selected data through a communication network. This special issue is seeking original research and review papers on security in Big Data. Submissions of applications-oriented papers describing case studies and simulations are encouraged as well. This special issue focuses on the study of all aspects of security in Big Data. It will include manuscripts extended from selected papers presented at 2012 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and Systems (CSPS) and manuscripts submitted in response to this open call. The selected papers from CSPS12 should be further extended with 50% or more contributions and should be clearly specified during submission. All manuscripts are subjected to rigorous reviews as per the policy of this journal before they can be accepted for publication. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Secure transmission of big dataNew data storage, I/O systems, and architectures for secure big dataSecure streaming, filtering, compressed sensing, and sufficient statistics in big dataNew secure designs for advanced data architectures, including clouds, addressing extreme capacity, power management, and real-time control in big dataTools for efficient and secure archiving, querying, retrieval and data recovery in big data;Data-driven high fidelity modeling and simulations for big dataSecure and efficient big data integrationSecurity and privacy of big data from sensors and sensor networks ********************** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ********************** High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be peer reviewed according to the guidelines of Wileys Security and Communication Networks Journal to ensure high quality and relevance to the Special Issue. All submissions should be prepared by following the guidelines given in Section For Authors at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security. Prospective authors should submit their paper online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the manuscript type as Special Issue, enter the Running Head and the Special Issue title as SCN-SI-60 and Security in Big Data, respectively. ***************** IMPORTANT DATES ***************** Paper Submission Deadline: 1 January 2013 First Round of Reviews: 1 April 2013 Revision Submission Deadline: 1 May 2013 Notification of Acceptance: 1 June 2013 **************** GUEST EDITORS **************** Qilian Liang University of Texas at Arlington, USA E-mail: [email protected] Jian Ren Michigan State University, USA E-mail: [email protected] Jing Liang University of Electronic Science and Technology, China E-mail: [email protected] Baoju Zhang Tianjin Normal University, China E-mail: [email protected] Yiming Pi University of Electronic Science and Technology, China E-mail: [email protected] Chenglin Zhao Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China E-mail: [email protected]
