***Poster Competition open for submission ***
The conference will host a session for poster competition. We encourage researchers/students to share their innovative work and demonstrate their projects at the conference. All accepted posters will receive certificates, and be listed on the ICDIS website and the program as well. Awards will be issued to the top 3 high quality posters judged by reviewers.

A poster abstract is required by Feb 28, 2018. Notification of acceptance will be sent within one week of your submission date.

*Papers accepted as short papers are enrolled to the poster session automatically. No any action needed.

Aim and Scope

Data intelligence and data security are two closely related views, while data management is the base of both data intelligence and data security. In the era of big data, data management, data intelligence and data security are all very important, and present constant challenges for both academia and industry. Those challenges bring with great opportunities for innovative ideas, tools and technologies.

The First International Conference on Data Intelligence and Security (ICDIS-2018) aims to: (1) provide a unique forum where data management, data intelligence, and data security are all involved; (2) provide a forum for researchers, experts, professionals and stakeholders in related fields to disseminate their recent advances and share their views on future perspectives.

Themes
The topics of ICDIS-2018 include three aspects. First, contributions on data management are welcome. Second, contributions on data intelligence are welcome, including works on how to learn from data and how to intelligently process data. Third, contributions on data security and privacy are also within the scope of the conference.
Particularly, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Data Management
· Data warehousing, OLAP, SQL analytics
