Introduction
--------------------

Intelligent food systems and Cooking Recipe data analytics are emerging as a new research domain for data engineering and data
management. Therein responding to emerging opportunities and challenges in a timely manner. Nevertheless, the growth of data in
volumes seems to out-speed the advance of the many established data managing and processing technologies. There are many forms of
 food-related data that are being collected on an enormous scale, ranging from a variety of chemical and nutritional data to
 recipe collections and social media postings. The food-based data sets have inherent characteristics that poses unique
 challenges to the field, for instance, categorizing an ingredient state (e.g., sliced, diced, raw, baked, grilled, or boiled)
 provides a unique challenge in attribute recognition one that is not well posed by existing datasets. Additionally, the
 free-form nature of food suggests a departure from the concrete task of classification in favor of a more nuanced objective
 that integrates variation in a recipe's structure. Data food also offers new perspectives on topical challenges in computer
 vision like finding representations that are robust to occlusion and deformation (such as occurring during ingredient
 processing) and that operate in a multimodal framework (e.g., image/text alignment). With the reality of big data comes
 the challenge of analysing and managing the data in a way that brings substantial value. In the food context, the appropriate
 data processing and management could expose new knowledge, indicate research directions, and lead to far-reaching changes in
 our understanding of food perception, healthy food habits, and culinary practice. This workshop thus targets this evolving
 research domain and focuses on its data aspects.
The goal of the workshop is to provide concrete contributions in the analysis and design of models, methods, demonstration
systems, and intelligent tools to support the data management of computational cooking. Authors are encouraged to submit both
contributions devoted to computational cooking or also more generic models/frameworks for which intelligent food systems. Cooking
 Recipe data analytics could be considered as an application domain.
