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
is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware
tools to capture, manage, and process within a tolerable elapsed time.
It has been widely recognised that security and privacy are the
critical challenges for Social Networks and Big Data applications due
to their scale, complexity and heterogeneity.

The 5th International Symposium on Security and Privacy in Social
Networks and Big Data (SocialSec 2019) will be held at Technical
University of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark on 14-17 July 2019. It
follows the success of SocialSec 2015 in Hangzhou, China, SocialSec
2016 in Fiji, SocialSec 2017 in Melbourne, Australia and SocialSec
2018 in Santa Clara, CA, USA. The aim of the symposium 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.

Submission instructions

It is planned to publish the proceedings with Springer in their
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (final approval pending).
Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 15 pages in
length (single column) including appendices and bibliography with
reasonable margins. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work
that any of the authors have published elsewhere, or have submitted in
parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings or any
journal. Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines (those that
do not risk rejection without consideration of their merits). Please
