FOCUS
When the IDA symposium series started in 1995, it focussed on the problem of end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. In 2010, the IDA symposium re-focussed to support papers that go beyond established technology and offer genuinely novel and “game-changing”
ideas, whilst not always being as fully realised as papers submitted to other conferences.
IDA 2013 continues this approach and seeks “first look” papers that might elsewhere be considered preliminary but contain potentially high impact research. The IDA symposium, which is A-ranked according to ERA, is open to all kinds of modelling and analysis methods, irrespective of discipline. It is expected to be an interdisciplinary meeting that seeks abstractions that cut across domains.
FRONTIER PRIZE
In line with the theme of IDA, the IDA Frontier Prize will be awarded to the most visionary contribution. Submissions considered for this award must present novel and surprising approaches to data analysis. Last years winners can be found at http://ida2013.org. The award consists of a plaque and a prize of 1000 Euros.
CALL FOR PAPERS
IDA solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis, including papers on intelligent support for modelling and analyzing data from complex, dynamical systems. IDA 2013 particularly encourages papers about:
– Novel applications of IDA techniques to complex systems
– Novel modes of data acquisition and integration
– Robustness and scalability issues of intelligent data analysis techniques
– Visualization and dissemination of results
Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual algorithmic offerings in the literature. Papers about established technology should offer novel ways to analyzing and/or modelling complex systems to get accepted. The conventional reviewing process, which favours incremental advances on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers that IDA 2013 hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the stated goals of the symposium, and any paper for which at least one program chair advisor writes an informed, thoughtful, positive review will be accepted irrespective of other reviews.
The proceedings of IDA 2013 will appear in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For more details on submission and review process, see the IDA webpage at http://ida2013.org or contact the program chairs. News and updates will be posted on the IDA Twitter account @ida_news.
