* Introduction *
We are happy to announce the 6th Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS2019) in continuation of what has successfully started with the past events.

SDS2019 brings together opinion-leaders, practitioners, decision-makers and researchers with interest in Data Science. The goal is to foster the exchange of ideas for innovative research, products and services especially for the Swiss market and to sustain the community of Data Scientists.

SDS2019 will have talks in 2 distinct streams of academic and business contributions. The accepted academic paper proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore digital library. For businesses, talks having business impact and data-driven innovation concepts are invited and will be presented (see website for the full call).

* Awards *

- Best Paper Award: The program committee will carefully evaluate the submitted papers according to their originality, contributions to the field, quality of presentation, and soundness of the science and will then select a paper for the best paper award that receives a cash price of CHF 1,500.
- Best Presentation Award: The best presentation will be elected through an online voting system that is available for the participants during the conference. Keynote speakers will not be eligible for the best presentation price, which is a cash price of CHF 1,500.
- Best Reproducibility Award: This award recognizes the best papers in terms of reproducibility. The criteria include flexibility, coverage, and code replication as well as data availability of the research work. The recipient of this award receives a cash prize of CHF 1,500.

* Academic Track *

We invite submissions of original research papers related to all aspects of data science, especially best practice and use-case oriented research work with technical depth and practical applicability. We also highly welcome innovative demos, show-cases, and awesome data products.
