  • Strong engagement of analytics, statistics and industry/government
  • Double blind, and 10 pages in IEEE 2-column format

INTRODUCTION

Data-driven scientific discovery is regarded as the fourth science paradigm. Data science is a core driver of the next-generation science,  technologies and applications, and is driving new researches, innovation,  profession, economy and education  across disciplines and across domains. There are many associated scientific challenges, ranging from data capture, creation, storage, search, sharing, modeling, analysis, and visualization. Among the complex aspects to be addressed we mention here the integration across heterogeneous, interdependent complex data resources for real-time decision making, streaming data, collaboration, and ultimately value co-creation. Data science encompasses the areas of data analytics, machine learning, statistics, optimization and managing big data, and has become essential to glean understanding from large data sets and convert data into actionable intelligence, be it data available to enterprises, society, Government or on the Web.

DSAA takes a strong interdisciplinary approach, features by its strong engagement with statistics and business, in addition to core areas including analytics, learning, computing and informatics. DSAA fosters its unique Trends and Controversies session, Invited Industry Talks session, Panel discussion, and four keynote speeches from statistics, business, and data science. DSAA main tracks maintain a very competitive acceptance rate (about 10%) for regular papers.

Following the preceeding three editions DSAA'2016 (Montreal),  DSAA'2015 (Paris), and DSAA'2014 (Shanghai), the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Advanced Analytics (DSAA'2017) aims to provide a premier forum that brings together researchers, industry practitioners, as well as potential users of big data, for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest theoretical developments in Data Science as well as on the best practices for a wide range of applications.

DSAA is also technically sponsored by ACM through SIGKDD and by the American Statistics Association.

DSAA solicits then both theoretical and practical works on data science and advanced analytics. DSAA'2017 will consist of two main tracks: Research and Applications, and a series of Special sessions.  The Research Track is aimed at collecting original (unpublished nor under consideration at any other venue) and significant contributions related to foundations of Data Science and Analytics. The Applications Track is aimed at collecting original papers describing better and reproduciable practices with substantial contributions to Data Science and Analytics in real life scenarios. DSAA special sessions substantially upgrade traditional workshops to encourage emerging topics in data science while maintain regirous selection criteria. Call for proposals to organize special sessions are highly encouraged.
