***** About NSS 2024
While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated,
and powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building
more effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high-performance
defense systems which are distributed and networked. The conference
will cover research on all theoretical and practical aspects related
to network and system security, such as authentication, access
control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality,
dependability and sustainability of computer networks and systems. The
aim of NSS is to provide a leading-edge forum to foster interaction
between researchers and developers with the network and system
security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact
with experts in academia, industry, and governments.
Founded in 2007, the aim of the NSS (International Conference on
Network and System Security) series is to provide a leading-edge forum
to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the
network and system security communities, and to give attendees an
opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and
governments. NSS 2024 is the 18th edition of the International
Conference on Network and System Security series, which started in
2007. Previous editions were held in: Canterbury, UK (2023); Fiji
(2022); Tianjin, China (2021); Melbourne, Australia (2020); Sapporo,
Japan (2019); Hong Kong, China (2018); Helsinki, Finland (2017);
Taipei (2016); New York City, USA (2015); Xi'an, China (2014); Madrid,
Spain (2013); Wu Yi Shan, China (2012); Milan, Italy (2011);

China (2008); and Dalian, China
***** About SocialSec 2024
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.
SocialSec 2024 is the 10th edition of the International Symposium on
Security and Privacy in Social Networks and Big Data series, which
started in 2015. Previous editions were held in: Canterbury, UK
(2023); Xi'an, China (2022); Fuzhou, China (2021); Tianjin, China
(2020); Copenhagen, Denmark (2019); Santa Clara, CA, USA (2018);
Melbourne, Australia (2017); Fiji (2016); and Hangzhou, China (2015).
