been recognized as an important asset for driving value be it scientific,
governmental or for enterprise. The amount of data being generated constantly
with high volume, velocity and variety has marked the emergence of "Big
Data" as a contemporary research challenge with vast opportunities. In the
context of the digital-world, the internet and Social Networks have contributed
immensely in generating Big Data pools. Hundreds of millions of people around
the globe are nowadays connected using different type of social networks. Big
Data and Social Networks become interrelated in the modern computing agenda
being both concerned with intensive data. As much opportunities they hold, Big
Data and Social Networks come with their own challenges such as management,
Security, Processing etc. In order to unlock the potentials of these
technologies, innovative solutions are required, which will leverage new models
in computing. <span></span></span></p>

Data and Social Networking Management and Security will be a forum for
scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest
research results, ideas, developments, and applications in the areas of big
data and social networking. We are mainly interested in receiving state of the
art work on different aspect of big data management system, big data security
and privacy, cloud computing and big data, social networking and big data
analytics, and social networking management and security, to mention but few.<span></span></span></p>
