This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Security in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems, SNDS 2014, held in Trivandrum, India, in March 2014. The 32 revised full papers presented together with 9 short papers and 8 workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on security and privacy in networked systems; multimedia security; cryptosystems, algorithms, primitives; system and network security; short papers. The workshop papers were presented at the following workshops: Second International Workshop on Security in Self-Organising Networks (Self Net 2014); Workshop on Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Cryptology and Information Security (CIS 2014); Second International Workshop on Trust and Privacy in Cyberspace (Cyber Trust 2014).

This book offers a systematic overview of the concepts and practical techniques that readers need to get the most out of their large-scale data mining projects and research studies. It guides them through the data-analytical thinking essential to extract useful information and obtain commercial value from the data. Presenting the outcomes of International Conference on Soft Computing and Data Mining (SCDM-2017), held in Johor, Malaysia on February 6–8, 2018, it provides a well-balanced integration of soft computing and data mining techniques. The two constituents are brought together in various combinations of applications and practices. To thrive in these data-driven ecosystems, researchers, engineers, data analysts, practitioners, and managers must understand the design choice and options of soft computing and data mining techniques, and as such this book is a valuable resource, helping readers solve complex benchmark problems and better appreciate the concepts, tools, and techniques employed.
