Data Science is an area of extensive research as new applications are emerging from Industry with requirements for real-time data analysis of data streams that arrive with high speed, high data volume and in a variety of data formats. Terabytes, even petabytes of data are generated each day in diverse formats such as structured data, plain text data, imaging data, audio and video data. The IEEE International Workshop on Data Science (IWDS) aims at providing a forum for presentation of the latest research results, new technology developments, and new applications in the areas of Data Analytics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Stream Data Processing, and Data Warehousing.

From 2013 to 2017, it has been annually held in Pakistan, Thailand, Korea, Portugal, and Japan. The sixth IEEE International Workshop on Data Sciecne (IWDS 2018) will be held on September 24, 2018 in conjunction with the ICDIM 2018 Conference that will take place from September 24 - 26, 2018 in Berlin, Germany.

All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE and will be fully indexed by IEEE Xplore.

Modified version of the selected papers will appear in the special issues of the following peer reviewed journals.
