Introduction

In parallel with Petrol as a driving resource in this world, Data
is becoming an increasingly decisive resource in modern societies,
economies, and governmental organizations. Gradually and steadily, it is
being world-wide recognised that data and talents are playing key roles in
modern businesses.

As an interdisciplinary area, Data Science draws scientific inquiry from
a broad range of subject areas such as statistics, mathematics,
computer science, machine learning, optimization, signal processing,
information retrieval, databases, cloud computing, computer vision, natural
language
processing and etc. Data Science is on the essence of deriving
valuable insights from data. It is emerging to meet the challenges of
processing very large datasets, i.e. Big Data, with the explosion of new
data continuously generated from various channels such as smart devices,
web, mobile and social media.

Data systems are posing many challenges in exploiting parallelism of
current and upcoming computer architectures. Data volumes of applications
in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online
information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the
next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is
necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing
enormous computing power. The importance of data intensive systems has been
raising and will continue to be the foremost fields of research. This raise
brings up many research issues, in forms of capturing and accessing
data effectively and fast, processing it while still achieving high
performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for future use.
Innovative programming models, high performance scalable computing
platforms, efficient storage systems and expression of data requirements
are at immediate need.

DSS (Data Science and Systems) was created to provide a prime international
forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to
exchange the latest advances in Data Science and Data Systems as well as
their synergy.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference,
including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files for
LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must represent
original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at
least three program committee members. Submission of a paper should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors will register for the conference and present the work.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2016/dss/submission.htm.

Publications
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE
Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of accepted
papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present
their work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from
the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.
