Special Session on Real-World Data Mining & Data Science Applications, Challenges, and Perspectives

Call for Papers (Special Session)

Organizer: Mahmoud Abou-Nasr, Ford Motor Company - Research and Innovation Center, mabounas@ford.com

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. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Enterprise knowledge management/knowledge discovery

  • Corporate planning

  • Direct marketing

  • Credit scoring

  • Forecasting

  • Automotive applications

  • Medical decision making, diagnostics

  • Bioinformatics

  • Text and image recognition

Challenges to be addressed include but are not limited to:

  • Highly skewed data sets

  • Massive and high dimensional data sets

  • Non-stationary data

  • Unknown misclassification costs

  • Missing and noisy data

  • Business process issues
     

This special session of DMIN'15 will cover all aspects of data mining and data science applications. The special session will be held during the DMIN'15 conference, July 27-30, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. All papers should be submitted using the standard procedures for DMIN papers. For your submission of the draft paper, please select the Track 'DMDSA - Special Session on Real-World Data Mining & Data Science Applications, Challenges, and Perspectives'.

Any questions should be directed to the special session organizer or to one of the DMIN conference organizers.

Special Session on Data Science  

Call for Papers (Special Session)

Organizer: Peter Geczy, Mahmoud Abou-Nasr, Gary M. Weiss, Robert Stahlbock

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

  • Data Lifecycle

  • Data Quality

  • Data Complexity

  • Data Manipulation

  • Data Acquisition

  • Data Analytics

  • Data Description and Metadata

  • Data Types, Structures and Frameworks

  • Structured, Semi-structured and Unstructured Data

  • Static and Dynamic Data

  • Data Dynamics and Variability

  • Data Velocity, Transfers and Migrations

  • Data Completeness and Partiality

  • Data Pre-processing, Processing and Post-processing

  • Data Mining and Knowledge Extraction

  • Data Management

  • Data Visualization and Presentation

  • Data Storage, Retention, Preservation and Conservation

  • Data Compromization, Contamination and Corruption

  • Data Security, Protection and Encryption

  • Data Marts, Valuation and Monetization

  • Privacy, Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks

This special session of DMIN’15 will cover all aspects of data science. 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 (see http://www.dmin-2015.com/submission.htm). For your submission of the draft paper, please select the Track 'DS - Special Session on Data Science’.

Any questions should be directed to the special session organizers or to one of the DMIN conference organizers via special-session-chair@dmin-2015.com or conference-chair@dmin-2015.com.

Special Session on eMaintenance and Maintenance 4.0  

Call for Papers (Special Session)

Organizer: Diego Galar

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 (see http://www.dmin-2015.com/submission.htm). For your submission of the draft paper, please select the Track 'eMM4 - Special Session on eMaintenance and Maintenance 4.0’.

Any questions should be directed to the special session organizer via diego.galar@ltu.se or to one of the DMIN conference organizers via special-session-chair@dmin-2015.com or conference-chair@dmin-2015.com.
