Foreword: This book contains the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Data Science, Technologies and Applications (DATA 2020) which is sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and held in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (ACM SIGMIS). This year DATA was, exceptionally, held as a web-based event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 7 - 9 July. This conference brings together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on databases, big data, data mining, data management, data security and other aspects of information systems and technology involving advanced applications of data. The high quality of the DATA 2020 program is enhanced by the two keynote lectures, delivered by distinguished speakers who are renowned experts in their fields: Wil van der Aalst (RWTH Aachen University, Germany) and Ioana Manolescu (Inria, France). DATA 2020 received 70 paper submissions from 31 countries of which 14% were accepted as full papers. In order to evaluate each submission, a double blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee. All presented papers will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library and will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus. As in previous editions of the Conference, based on the reviewer’s evaluations and the presentations, selected authors from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for a book that will be published by Springer with the best papers of DATA 2020. The program for this conference required the dedicated effort of many people. Firstly, we must thank the authors, whose research efforts are herewith recorded. Next, we thank the members of the Program Committee and the auxiliary reviewers for their diligent and professional reviewing. We would also like to deeply thank the invited speakers for their invaluable contribution and for taking the time to prepare their talks. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the professional support of the conference secretariat and INSTICC team for all organizational processes, especially given the need to introduce online streaming, forum management, direct messaging facilitation and other web-based activities in order to make it possible for DATA 2020 authors to present their work and share ideas with colleagues in spite of the logistic difficulties caused by the current pandemic situation. We wish you all an exciting conference and we look forward to having additional research results presented at the next edition of DATA. (More)
