[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ******************************* IEEE DSS-2018 CFP ***************************** *The 4th IEEE International Conference on Data Science and Systems (DSS-2018)* http://cse.stfx.ca/~dss2018/ *Exeter, England, UK, 28-30 June 2018* *Sponsored by* IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee of Scalable Computing (TCSC). *** The paper submission deadline is extended to 23 March 2018 (firm deadline) *** INTRODUCTION ============= As an interdisciplinary area, Data Science draws scientific inquiry from a broad range of subject areas such as statistics, mathematics, computer science, machine learning, optimization, signal processing, information retrieval, databases, cloud computing, computer vision, natural language processing, etc. Data Science is on the essence of deriving valuable insights from data. Data Systems are posing many challenges in exploiting parallelism of current and upcoming computer architectures. Data volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous computing power. DSS (Data Science and Systems) was created to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to exchange the latest advances in Data Science and Data Systems as well as their synergy. DSS-2018 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. The city is also home to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times. Exeter is also ideally placed to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor National Park and the unspoilt beaches of the North and South Devon coastlines. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to DSS-2018. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference. SCOPE AND TOPICS ================ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Track 1: Data Science Track 2: Data Processing Technology Track 3: Data Systems Track 4: Data Applications IMPORTANT DATES ================ · Paper Submission Deadline: 23 March 2018 · Authors Notification: 22 April 2018 · Camera-Ready Paper Due: 22 May 2018 · Early Registration Due: 22 May 2018 · Conference Date: 28-30 June 2018 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference submission website ( http://dss.ex.ac.uk/ ) with PDF format. The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Each paper is limited to 8 pages (or 10 pages with over length charge) including figures and references using IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style (two columns, single-spaced, 10 fonts). You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/web/cs-cps/ Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings can be found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishi ng/templates.html Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press (indexed by EI). At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference. JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES ====================== Distinguished papers selected from the conferences and associated workshops, after further extensions, will be recommended for submission and publication in the following prestigious journals or their Special Issues: - IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing (IEEE Computer Society) - Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley) - Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer) - Expert Systems Journal (Wiley) - Cognitive Computation journal (Springer) - Big Data Analytics (BioMed Central/Springer) --------------------------------------------------------------- For news of CHI books, courses & software, join CHI-RESOURCES mailto: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe from CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS send an email to mailto:[log in to unmask] For further details of CHI lists see http://listserv.acm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
