In conjunction with the 21th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2017).

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Data science is an interdisciplinary field about scientific processes, methodologies, and systems to extract useful knowledge or insights from data in various forms. Data can be analyzed using data mining, machine learning, data analysis and statistics, optimizing processes and maximizing the knowledge exploitation in real-life settings.

DaS 2017 is a workshop aimed at fostering and sharing research and innovation on data science. The workshop will allow researchers and practitioners to exchange their ideas and experiences on designing and developing data science applications, to discuss the main open issues and to share novel solutions for data management and analytics.

Researchers are encouraged to submit their papers describing systems, platforms, algorithms, methodologies and applications addressing all facets of a data-driven technological solution. Industrial implementations of data science applications, design and deployment experience reports on various issues raising in data science projects are particularly welcome. We call for research and experience papers as well as demonstration proposals covering any aspect of a data science application (e.g., smart cities, e-commerce, social networks, bio-sciences and healthcare, business analytics and finance, Internet of Things).


TOPICS OF INTEREST (include but are not limited to the following):

- Research challenges on data management and analytics
- Methodologies, models, algorithms, and architectures for data science
- Scalable and/or descriptive data mining and Machine learning techniques for knowledge discovery
- Cloud computing techniques for data science
- Parallel and distributed computing for data science
- Big Data frameworks and architectures
- Data warehouses and large-scale databases
- Personalization and recommendation techniques for Big Data
- Visualization methods for data-intensive applications
- Case studies on data management and analytics for small and big data
- Experiences with data-driven project development and deployment

In one of – though not limited to – the following application scenarios:
- Bio-sciences and healthcare
- Internet of Things
- Urban economy and urban environments
- Financial applications
- Business analytics and finance
- User-generated content (like tweets, micro-blog)
- Industry 4.0


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Submissions should present original results and substantial new work not currently under review or published elsewhere. This workshop accepts:
- Research papers (up to 10 pages) including novel approaches for data science methodologies and algorithms.
- Application papers (up to 5 pages) describing data science use-cases.
- Industrial papers (up to 4 pages) describing experiences in the industry sectors.
- Demo proposals (up to 2 pages) describing the demo flow.

Papers must comply with the Springer formatting guidelines (instructions for authors are available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-12-73062-0). Papers should be formattex in LATEX and submitted in PDF format using the online submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=das2017


PUBLICATION

Workshop papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.


BEST WORKSHOP PAPERS

The best papers will be invited to be published in a special section of the International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science (AMCS) (De Gruyter Publisher): https://www.amcs.uz.zgora.pl/

AMCS is on the Thomson Reuters master journal list. AMCS Impact Factor for 2015: 1.037 and 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.151.

Notice that AMCS is an open-access journal with a publication fee of 30EUR/page for papers of 8-12 pages.

The publication is scheduled for the first half of 2018. The selected workshop papers will have to be extended to a full size of 10-12 pages (AMCS style) and will have to include original research contributions. The final acceptance for the Journal will be based on a standard reviewing process.
