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aimed at collecting original (unpublished nor under consideration at any other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.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper Submission deadline: May 25, 2017
Notification of acceptance: July 25, 2017
Final Camera-ready papers due: August 15, 2017
Early Registration dealine: August 31, 2017
PUBLICATIONS:
All accepted papers, including main tracks and special sessions, will be

conference will be selected for extension and invited to the special issues
of International Journal of Data Science and Analytics (JDSA, Springer).
