INTRODUCTION
=============

As an interdisciplinary area, Data Science draws scientific inquiry from a
broad range of subject areas such as statistics, mathematics, computer
science, machine learning, optimization, signal processing, information
retrieval, databases, cloud computing, computer vision, natural language
processing, etc. Data Science is on the essence of deriving valuable
insights from data.

Data Systems are posing many challenges in exploiting parallelism of
current and upcoming computer architectures. Data volumes of applications
in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online
information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the
next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is
necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous
computing power.

DSS (Data Science and Systems) was created to provide a prime international
forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts to
exchange the latest advances in Data Science and Data Systems as well as
their synergy. DSS-2018 will be hosted in Exeter, the capital city of Devon
and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine,
religion, commerce and culture. The city is also home to the magnificent
Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times. Exeter is also ideally
placed to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous
Dartmoor National Park and the unspoilt beaches of the North and South
Devon coastlines.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to DSS-2018. All
accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be
indexed by Engineering Index (EI). The authors of selected best papers will
be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues
of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.
