SCDS 2017

______________________________________________ EXTENDED DEADLINE : 31st JULY 2017 ______________________________________________

We welcome you to participate in The 3rd International Conference on Soft Computing in Data Science 2017 (SCDS 2017) which will be held in Yogyakarta (Hotel To Be Announced) from 27-28 November 2017. The theme of the conference is ‘Science in Analytics: Harnessing Data and Simplifying Solutions’. Data science can improve corporate decision-making and performance, personalize medicine and healthcare services and improve organizations efficiency and performance. Data Science is about learning from your data. Thus, with the advancement in computer technology huge amount of data can be stored and harnessed. Data science and analytics plays an important role in various disciplines including business, medical and health informatics, social sciences, manufacturing, economics, accounting and finance.

SCDS2017 aims to provide a platform for discussions on leading edge methods and also addressing challenges, problems and issues in data science and big analytics. The role of data science and big data analytics is significantly increasing in every field from business, engineering to life sciences and with advanced computer algorithms, solutions for complex real problems can be simplified. For the advancement of society in the 21st century, there is a need to transfer knowledge and technology to industrial applications to solve real-world problems. SCDS2017 have invited renowned international and local keynote speakers who are academia or practitioners to share their knowledge and experience in the area of machine learning in data science and analytics.

SCDS2017 aims to attract researchers who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of Soft Computing in Data Science. The focus is theory and applications of Data Science and Big Data Analytics.
