--- FOCUS ---

The traditional focus of the IDA symposium series is on end-to-end 
intelligent support for data analysis. In 2010, the series re-focused to 
support papers that go beyond established technology and offer genuinely 
novel and "game-changing" ideas, whilst not always being as fully 
realized as papers submitted to other conferences.

IDA 2014 continues this approach and explicitly seeks "first look" 
papers that might elsewhere be considered preliminary but contain 
potentially high impact research. To emphasize this, IDA 2014 will 
include a new track -- see below for the details. The IDA symposium, 
which is A-ranked according to ERA, is open to all kinds of modeling and 
analysis methods, irrespective of discipline. It is expected to be an 
interdisciplinary meeting that seeks abstractions that cut across domains.

--- FRONTIER PRIZE ---

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 on the IDA 2014 website. The award consists of a plaque and a 
prize of 1000 euros.

--- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS ---

Along with the regular presentations, the symposium schedule will 
feature three exciting keynote talks by renowned researchers:

- Chris Lintott (University of Oxford)
	"Lessons from the crowd: Citizen Science and Big Data"

- Arnoldo Frigessi (University of Oslo)
	"Bayesian Inference for Ranks"

- Jan Van den Bussche (Universiteit Hasselt)
	"The DNA query language DNAQL"

--- CALL FOR PAPERS ---

IDA solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis, 
including papers on intelligent techniques to modeling and analyzing 
data from complex, dynamical systems. IDA 2014 particularly encourages 
papers about:

  - Novel applications of IDA techniques to complex systems
  - Novel modes of data acquisition and integration
  - Novel approaches that demonstrate how users can add to the analysis 
process
  - 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 modeling complex systems to get 
accepted. The conventional reviewing process has a tendency to favor 
incremental but solid contributions over novel but exploratory ones. 
This can discourage the kind of papers that IDA hopes to publish. For 
this reason, IDA 2014 will have two paper tracks, both of which address 
this issue:

A] Proceedings Track

This is the regular IDA paper track, which will be continued unchanged.
Submitted papers will be reviewed and, if accepted, published in the
proceedings. Submitted papers should consist of at most 11 pages in LNCS 
format. Papers may be accepted for either oral or poster presentation.

To ensure that the papers sought by IDA get accepted, referees will 
evaluate papers against the stated goals of the symposium, and if at 
least one program chair advisor writes an informed, thoughtful, positive 
review for a paper, this may outweigh the criticism of other reviewers.

Following IDA's tradition, the proceedings of IDA 2014 will be published 
as a volume in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

B] First Look Track

New this year is the First Look Track, which allows you to present your
groundbreaking research at the symposium if it is not yet mature enough 
for the Proceedings Track. You may have a great idea that needs to be 
investigated in more detail, or you may have a long-term vision that you 
would like to share. In these cases, it may be impossible or undesirable 
to publish a preliminary version of your paper in the proceedings, but 
presenting and discussing it at IDA may be of interest to both you and 
the community.

For the First Look Track we solicit short papers, up to 8 pages in LNCS 
format, that will be reviewed in a setup similar to that of the 
Proceedings Track. Also, submissions can be accepted for either oral or 
poster presentation, but they will not be published in the proceedings. 
Note that only a limited number of papers can be accepted for this 
track; if your paper is ready for publication we recommend submitting to 
the regular Proceedings Track.

Note that papers accepted to both tracks are eligible to win the 
Frontier Prize.
