Big Data Privacy-Preservation

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of big data technology offers cost-effective predictions to improve the decision-making capabilities in highly critical domains such as crime, security, employment, healthcare, insurance, resource management, and natural disaster. Big data can be used to leverage significant features of IoT devices to provide expeditious mapping of interconnectivity for companies, the media industry, and the government to more precisely target their audience and augment efficiency. Currently, big data has had great implications during the COVID-19 pandemic situation for minimizing the severe impact of the disease and introducing the medical treatment process. However, big data has been a great challenge in terms of privacy preservation. Thus, the main goal of this Special Issue is to invite high-quality submissions in the form of original and novel research articles on big data privacy, privacy-preserving aggregation, privacy concerns of big data technology, the impact of big data on COVID-19, identity-based big data privacy, and privacy-preservation of Big data storage on the cloud. In addition, attention will also be given to several big data industry-driven applications.
