*MINI-TRACK: Analytics in Support of Continuous Knowledge Creation*



The exponential growth of organizational storage has led to a focus on Big
Data and the demand for individual’s capable of agilely moving between the
data flows and extracting both operational information and knowledge from
this ever-increasing store of data. These capabilities have been attributed
to the role of Data Scientist. With data being the foundation for the
development of information and knowledge, this mini-track seeks a focus on
both an organizational and pedagogical perspective for the development and
recognition of the Data Scientist. The skill set of the Data Scientist has
focused on the abilities of programming, business insights and statistical
model building. However, with the rapid accumulation of data stores in
organizations, the transfer of data to information and knowledge has become
more complex and prior techniques must give way to processes that allow
continuous knowledge creation.

Paper submissions are encouraged that: further expand and explain the role
of the data scientist in organizational knowledge creation; develop and
expand the skill set of the data scientist role with respect to maintaining
knowledge creation in an organization; explain the techniques necessary to
ensure continuous knowledge creation; or related issues. Paper topics
include, but are not limited to:



·         Theoretical contributions to the recognition of the data scientist

·         Development frameworks for the use of Big Data flows

·         Management and construction of disparate data sources

·         Pedagogical requirements for creating the data scientist in
Industry and Universities

·         Empirical studies converting Big Data to actionable information
and knowledge

·         Case Studies on data scientist success

·         Methodologies for determining the frequency and granularity of
data stream snapshots necessary for knowledge creation
