<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Analytics technologies have been consistently creating positive impact on organizational decision making. Data and text mining is a critical area in analytics. As data are being generated
at an unprecedented magnitude in recent years, the data structures that need to be processed in analytics are becoming increasingly diverse. The underlying storage architecture is also experiencing a drastic shift, as demonstrated by the wide adoption of non-relational
(NoSQL) and distributed databases. New approaches in data and text mining are in demand by organizations to properly analyze such data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We invite innovative research papers (either completed research or research in progress) using a variety of research methodologies, such as qualitative, quantitative, design science, and
theoretical modeling methodologies. We have listed some of the areas here. However, we welcome papers in other relevant areas too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
