Introduction
============

Data driven scientific discovery is an important emerging paradigm for computing in areas including social, service, Internet of Things, sensor networks, telecommunications, biology, health-care and cloud. Under this paradigm, Data Science is the core that drives new researches in many areas, from environmental to social. There are many associated scientific challenges, ranging from data capture, creation, storage, search, sharing, modeling, analysis, and visualization. Among the complex aspects to be addressed we mention here the integration across heterogeneous, interdependent complex data resources for real-time decision making, streaming data, collaboration, and ultimately value co-creation. Data science encompasses the areas of data analytics, machine learning, statistics, optimization and managing big data, and has become essential to glean understanding from large data sets and convert data into actionable intelligence, be it data available to enterprises, Government or on the Web.

Co-sponsored by IEEE and ACM, DSAA'2014 was a fabulous event held in 2014 in Shanghai, receiving the acceptance rate at 10.4% for regular presentations, and over 200 participants from 41 countries. It consisted of 11 main conference sessions, 7 special sessions, 5 keynote speeches, 4 trends and controversies invited talks, a panel, plus 2 tutorials for you to enjoy a very busy 3-day data science gathering. We are pleased to let you know that the DSAA'2014 proceeding has been included into IEEE Xplore, and you can find them in http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7050498. 

IEEE DSAA'2015 is an IEEE fully sponsored conference. DSAA'2015 aims to be a flagship data science and analytics conference in its kdn, and provide a premier forum that brings together researchers, industry practitioners, as well as potential users of big data, for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest theoretical developments in Data Science as well as on the best practices for a wide range of applications.

DSAA is also technically sponsored by ACM through SIGKDD. DSAA is the only IEEE/ACM jointly sponsored conference truly in data science, big data and advanced analytics. 

DSAA'2015 will consist of two main Tracks: Research and Application. The Research Track is aimed at collecting contributions related to theoretical foundations of Data Science and Data Analytics. The Application Track is aimed at collecting contributions related to applications of Data Science and Data Analytics in real life scenarios. DSAA solicits then both theoretical and practical works on data science and advanced analytics.
