Track Description:
Data science and analytics are at the forefront of driving innovation and creating novel opportunities for organizations and society. This is creating a huge impact in fields like healthcare, travel, finance, sports by assisting in complex tasks. The ability to manage big data and glean insightful knowledge is leading process-centric transformations in organizations. At a higher level, big data and analytics applications are able to drive positive impact on the society in the areas of food safety, energy and sustainability.
Organizations are allocating greater resources to enhance and develop new decision support applications driven by advanced analytics. As organizations transform into data and analytics centric enterprises, more research is needed on both the technical and organizational aspects. Research focused on the creation and application of new data science approaches like deep learning, cognitive computing, can inform us about the different ways to improve decision making and outcomes. On the other hand, research on organizational issues in the analytics context can inform industry leaders on handling various organizational and technical opportunities and challenges associated with building and executing big data driven organization. Examples may include, data and process governance issues, leadership, and driving innovation.
This track in Data Science and Analytics seeks original research that promotes technical, theoretical, design science, pedagogical, and behavioral research as well as emerging applications in analytics and big data. Topics include but are not limited to: data analytics & visualization from varied data sources such as sensors or IoT data, text, multimedia, clickstreams, user-generated content involving issues dealing with curation; management and infrastructure for (big) data; standards, semantics, privacy, security and legal issues in big data, analytics and KM (knowledge management); intelligence and scientific discovery using big data; analytics applications in various domains such as smart cities, smart grids, financial fraud detection, digital learning, healthcare, criminal justice, energy, environmental and scientific domains,  sustainability and the like; business process management applications such as process discovery, performance analysis, process conformance and mining using analytics and KM, cost-sensitive, value-oriented , and data-driven decision analysis and optimization.
