<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Cyber space has become an integrated part of human society. At the same time, has also been providing convenient platforms for crimes, such as financial fraud, information phishing, distributed denial of service attacks, and fake message propagation. Especially, the emergence of social networks has introduced significant security and privacy issues to the public. It is a great and new challenge of fighting against criminals in the cyber space. This field involved various disciplines, such as networking, information theory, mathematical modelling, data mining, machine learning, image and voice processing, neural network, pattern recognition, cryptography and forensic criminology. </font></p>
