                        The 
						past decade has witnessed a vast growth of the amount of 
						data produced and the proliferation of specialized 
						databases in a wide range of business, industrial, 
						medical and scientific applications. Data mining is 
						becoming an increasingly important tool in the process 
						of knowledge discovery and the transformation of data 
						into valuable information. The objective of this special 
						session is to provide a forum for the data mining, data 
						science researchers and industrial practitioners to 
						discuss data mining and data science applications, 
						issues, and the challenges that arise when addressing 
						real-world problems.

						Expansion of digital data, 
						its diversity and complexity has been presenting 
						numerous challenges to scientists and practitioners. 
						Massive amounts of data are being generated daily. 
						Growth of data is rapidly exceeding our technological 
						capabilities to manage and process it. This trend is 
						expected to continue over the following years―bringing 
						yet unforeseen challenges. It is pertinent that novel 
						approaches, frameworks and technologies are developed to 
						address these challenges. Data Science―an emerging 
						scientific and educational field―attempts to approach 
						these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. This 
						special session aims to provide a forum for researchers, 
						educators and practitioners in the field of data science 
						to present and discuss their methods, achievements and 
						challenges. The topics of interest include, but are not 
						limited to, the following: 
							
							
							Data Science Foundations
							
							Data Science Education
							
							Data Science Applications
							
							Data Products and Services
							
							Data Engineering

						Production, transportation and other type of assets like 
						health care or facilities are systems extremely complex 
						both with respect to technology and to operations, and 
						involve a wide range of human actors, organizations and 
						technical solutions. For the operations and control of 
						such complex environments, a viable solution is to apply 
						intelligent computerized systems, such as computerized 
						traffic control systems for coordinating transportation, 
						automation systems like SCADA for monitoring and control 
						of production systems and obviously advanced monitoring 
						and diagnostic systems for health assessment for all 
						those systems.  
						
						Moreover, modern assets cannot compromise the safety 
						being this a must for operation and maintenance. Indeed 
						safety becomes a more difficult goal to be achieved in 
						the traditional way, and computerized solutions come 
						into the picture as the only feasible option to deal 
						with such complex systems interacting among them trying 
						to balance the growth in technical complexity together 
						with stable and acceptable dependability indexes. 
						
						eMaintenance and Maintenance 4.0 describe the fourth 
						generation of maintenance activity which is enabled by 
						smart systems and Internet-based solutions. Two of the 
						characteristic features are computerization by utilizing 
						cyber-physical systems and intelligence that are based 
						on the concept of "internet of things". In this scenario 
						of smarter assets, eMaintenance and Maintenance 4.0 will 
						provide maintenance services like diagnosis and 
						prognosis, predicting failures and optimizing further 
						decisions.  
						
						The papers presented in this session will discuss the 
						possibilities that lie within applying the eMaintenance 
						and maintenance 4.0 concepts in asset management. 
						Aspects from data collection from assets such as 
						condition monitoring or work orders until decisions 
						taken based on this huge and disparate amount of data 
						will be addressed. 
						 The topics of interest include, but are not 
						limited to, the following: 
							
							
							Data taxonomies and ontologies for asset management
							
							Data Services and servitization of maintenance
							
							Data Lifecycle in AM
							
							Data Quality in AM
							
							Data Complexity in AM
							
							Data Manipulation in AM
							
							Data Acquisition in AM
							
							Data Analytics in AM
							
							Knowledge Discovery in AM data
							
							Information fusión
							
							Maintenance decisión support systems
							
							AM expert systems
							
							eMaintenance platforms
							
							Emaintenance and Maintenance 4.0 hardware solutions 
						
						This special session of DMIN’15 will cover all aspects 
						of asset data. The special session will be held during 
						the DMIN conference, July 27-30, 2015, in Las Vegas, 
						Nevada, USA. All papers should be submitted using the 
						standard procedures for DMIN papers

						eMaintenance and Maintenance 4.0’.
