Title: Cloud Computing, Big Data and Scalable Privacy Preservation

Speaker: Jinjun Chen (University of Technology Sydney, Australia)

Time: 17th December 2014, 9:30-11:30

Venue: Seminar Room (334), Level 3, Building 5, Institute of Software, CAS

Abstract:

Cloud computing promises an open environment where customers can deploy IT services in pay-as-you-go fashion while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructure. While cloud provides a promising infrastructure for big data applications such as medical data analysis, privacy reservation becomes critical because user privacy is a serious concern in practice. In this talk, we will discuss privacy preservation in general and then propose our solutions for scalable privacy preservation of big data applications on cloud.
