CiDaS aims at providing first class environment for data scientists and other related areas and disciplines, who use data science innovations in their field, to brainstorm and share their novel research results. This is not limited only to scientists and academics, but also industries and organisations. To this aim, we accept applied as well as fundamental research papers. Survey papers are also welcome to this conference. We would also welcome papers that show the application of novel data science and big data techniques and tools in other areas such as healthcare, manufacturing, finance and etc. Main topics to be addressed in the CiDaS conference include, but not limited to:

    Big Data Analysis

        Linked Open Data
