ECDA solicits contributions to theoretical as well as application-oriented
research on topics in the realm of data science, with a specific focus on
data analytics. With its motto "Multidisciplinary Facets of Data Science",
ECDA 2019 specifically emphasizes the important interplay of disciplines
involved in data science, most notably statistics and computer science as
well as various application areas like, e.g., Biostatistics, Finance,
Marketing, Medicine and Health Care, Social Sciences.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

 

Theory and Methods:

Big Data; Clustering, Classification, Discrimination and Regression; Data
Science; Databases and Data Management; Data Mining, Text and Web Mining;
Data Visualization; Dimension Reduction; Image Analysis and Computer Vision;
Impact of Technical Revolution and Library Science; Knowledge Representation
and Discovery; Machine Learning; Mathematical Foundations of Data Science;
Multivariate Methods; Online Algorithms and Algorithms for Data Streams;
Social Network Analysis; Statistical and Econometric Methods; Symbolic Data
Analysis.

 

Applications:

Archeology; Biostatistics; Business and Management; Economics; Education;
Engineering; Finance; Geosciences; Industrial Automation; Linguistics;
Marketing; Medicine and Health Care; Musicology; Psychology; Risk
Management; Social Sciences.

 

Besides, ECDA will feature several special sessions on interesting research
themes within the scope of the conference.

Following previous editions in Luxembourg (2013), Bremen (2014), Colchester
(2015), Wroclaw (2017) and Paderborn (2018) the European Conference on Data
Analysis (ECDA) will take place in Bayreuth, Germany, March 18-20, 2019. It
will be located and hosted by the University of Bayreuth.

 

ECDA was launched in 2013 and emerged from the annual conference of the
German Classification Society (GfKl). It is supported by the European
Association for Data Science (EuADS), the International Association for
Statistical Computing (IASC), the German Computer Science Society (GI), as
well as other European classification societies (British Classification
Society (BCS), Section on Classification and Data Analysis of the Polish
Statistical Association (SKAD), Classification and Data Analysis Group of
the Italian Statistical Society (CLADAG), Japanese Classification Society
(JCS)).

 

ECDA 2019 includes the 43nd Annual Meeting of the GFKl Data Science Society
and will be hosted by the University of Bayreuth, a university in scenic
northern Bavaria capable of attracting gifted students and first-class
researchers. The strength of the subject areas taught by its faculties and
the strategically chosen interdisciplinary research priorities are only few
of the factors leading to the universities outstanding reputation and
attractiveness for gifted students and first-class researchers. Also, an
important part of the universities vision is the facilitation of dialogue
between science and society by cooperating with other universities, colleges
and non-universitary research institutes in all kinds of fields of research.

 

With this in mind, ECDA 2019 will pay special emphasis on interdisciplinary
research and the interaction of theory and practice. The scientific program
of the conference will include sessions with invited talks and contributed
presentations covering a broad range of topics.
