What is a position paper?
A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results.

Technically Co-sponsored by:
IEEE Computational Intelligence Society

In cooperation with:
ACM Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

With the presence of internationally distinguished keynote speakers:
Torben Bach Pedersen, Aalborg University, Denmark
Francesco Bonchi, ISI Foundation, Italy

Andreas Holzinger, Medical University Graz, Austria

A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer.

All papers presented at the conference venue will also be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library.

Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by:

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 preceding
three editions DSAA'2016 (Montreal), DSAA'2015 (Paris), and DSAA'2014
(Shanghai), DSAA'2017 aims to provide a premier forum that brings together
researchers, industry practitioners, as well as potential users of big data,

The smart world is set to enhance everyday things with abilities of sensation, communication, computation and intelligence so that many tasks and processes could be simplified, more efficient, and enjoyable. It consists of numerous smart things that can be endowed with different levels/forms of intelligence and even capable of thinking. This smart world is set to be the next important stage in human history. Research on smart world is an emerging research field covering many areas, essential problems and crucial issues in truly building the smart world that benefits humanity, and simultaneously safeguards the natural environment for sustainable development and evolution.

The IEEE Smart World Congress originated from the 2005 Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart Worlds (USW, Taipei) and the 2005 Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart World (UISW, Nagasaki). SmartWorld 2017 in San Francisco is the next edition after the successful SmartWorld 2016 in Toulouse France and SmartWorld 2015 in Beijing China. SmartWorld 2017 is to provide a high-profile, leading-edge platform for researchers and engineers to exchange and explore state-of-art advances and innovations in graceful integrations of Cyber, Physical, Social, and Thinking Worlds for the theme "Smart Things Everywhere".

SmartWorld 2017 topics include but are not limited to the following:

Smart Industry and Manufacture
Smart Agriculture and Aquaculture
Smart Materials and Fabric
Smart Environment and Ecosystems
