About the Workshop 


Data are growing at an exponential rate nowadays. In order to take advantage 
of them, it is important for businesses and organizations to be able to make 
sense out of them by determining the trends, patterns and underlying 
insights of the gathered data. Hence problems can be detected early before 
they result in actual damage. Some examples of data analytics cover tasks of 
finding suspicious records in accounts payable, evaluating activities of 
business processes, modeling customers’ behavioral patterns and deriving 
the best strategies in business decision etc. Such complex tasks go beyond 
simple statistics. Advanced tools such as data mining, data modeling, data 
visualization, and information analysis etc. have been extensively 
researched recently. The objective of this workshop is to provide an 
interactive platform for academic researchers and industrial practitioners 
to exchange ideas, disseminate the latest development in data analytics and 
data visualization. Conceptual models, tools, and current issues are 
encouraged to be discussed. The workshop welcomes paper submission includes 
but not limited to the following areas: 

 - Data retrieval and management
 - Innovative methods for understanding and interacting with data
 - Innovative methods for data analysis, presentation and visualization
 - Innovative methods for solving current data problems
 - New statistics techniques for improving current solutions
 - Advanced software system and algorithms for data visualization
 - Domain specific data analytics and data visualization
 - Social network analytics and visualization
 - Forensic analytics and visualization
 - Business process analytics and visualization
 - Industry solutions and/or experiences
 - Case studies
