Abstract: Let $mathcalM$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful normal semi-finite trace $au$ and let $S_0(au)$ be the algebra of all $au$-compact operators affiliated with $mathcalM$. Let $E(au)subseteq{S}_0(au)$ be a symmetric operator space (on $mathcalM$) and let $mathcalE$ be a symmetrically-normed Banach ideal of $au$-compact operators in $mathcalM$. We study (i) derivations $delta$ on $mathcalM$ with the range in $E(au)$ and (ii) derivations on the Banach algebra $mathcalE$. In the first case our main results assert that such derivations are continuous (with respect to the norm topologies) and also inner (under some mild assumptions on $E(au)$). In the second case we show that any such derivation is necessarily inner when $mathcalM$ is a type $I$ factor. As an interesting application of our results for the case (i) we deduce that any derivation from $mathcalM$ into an $L_p$-space, $L_p(mathcalM,au)$, ($1<p<infty$) associated with $mathcalM$ is inner.
