Call for Workshop Papers Seventh Workshop on “Advanced Techniques on Data Analytics and Data Visualization" In Conjunction with the Eleventh International Conference on Digital Information Management (ICDIM 2018) http://icdim.org/workshops.html Berlin, Germany September 24-26, 2018 Technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Accepted workshop papers will be published in the proceedings indexed by IEEE Xplore. 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visualization Industry solutions and/or experiences Case studies Submissions Submissions should provide original and unpublished research results or ongoing research with simulations. The papers should be between 6 to 8 pages total in length in the IEEE format. * All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE and fully indexed by IEEE Xplore. All the ICDIM papers are indexed by DBLP (http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icdim/index.html) * Modified version of the selected papers will appear in the special issues of the following peer reviewed and indexed journals. 1.
