ICDATA’19 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

The 2019 International Conference on Data Science (ICDATA’19)

There are a number of other sessions (not listed as part of ICDATA’19 Conference) that are of potential interest to ICDATA’19 participants (sessions belonging to other joint conferences.) Therefore, you are encouraged to also check the schedules of other joint conferences. In
particular, sessions in ACC (Cognitive Computing), BIOCOMP (Bioinfo.), EEE (e-Learning, e-Business, e-Government), ESCS (Embedded & Cyberphysical Systems), FECS (Education), HIMS (Health Informatics), ICAI (Artificial Intelligence), ICOMP (Internet Computing & IoT), IKE (Information & Knowledge Eng.), IPCV (Computer Vision), PDPTA (Parallel & Distributed Processing), and SAM (Security) conferences discuss topics that are within the scope of ICDATA’19; these have been scheduled so that selected ICDATA’19 attendees can also participate in them.

Each conference is divided into a number of topical sessions. These sessions are not necessarily scheduled in the same room/location. Therefore, conference attendees are to check the location of the tracks they wish to attend; The conference room numbers (Locations) appear in this document.
