Big Data possesses profound information of our society, therefore, it impacts numerous aspects of human society, such as government, finance, security, climate and so on. Big Data is usually so large and complex, which is far beyond the capacity of the existing database management tools or traditional data processing applications. Currently, most of the work on Big Data is focusing on business, application and information processing level, such as data mining and analysis. However, Big Data definitely and desperately desires the support from networking aspect, especially when real time or near real time applications are demanded. For example, the storage of Big Data must depend on distributed systems and mechanisms. Therefore, it involves issues of network performance, structure, security, privacy and so on. However, these aspects of Big Data are seldom studied to date. This Special Issue solicits both original research and tutorial articles that discuss about networking aspect of Big Data, such as, network topology impaction on Big Data, distributed Big Data storage and retrieval, security and privacy protection for Big Data, and so on. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Network architecture design for Big Data · Distributed systems for Big Data · Parallel and distributed algorithms for Big Data · Data migration and backup for Big Data · Data synchronization for Big Data · Access control in Big Data · Network security, privacy and trust in Big Data · Network performance analysis in Big Data · Network modelling for Big Data · Anonymous communication for Big Data *Submission Process* *Articles submitted to this special issue must contain significant relevance to Big Data*. All submissions will be peer reviewed according to the Elsevier guidelines. Submitted articles should not have been published or under review elsewhere. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://www.journals.elsevier.com/big-data-research/ using the Elsevier Editorial System. The authors must select "SI: Big Data Networking " as Article Type when they reach the Article Type step in the submission process.
