Thanks to the DAIS co-Chairs (Nathan Gaw, Adam Meyers, Chenang Liu and Zimo Wang), Tech Coordinators (Afrooz Jalilzadeh and Avikomborero Matenga), session chairs and authors, the Division organizes 40 sessions including 3 invited sessions and 8 special sessions:
- DAIS Best Student Paper Competition
- Data Analytics Competition
- DAIS Best Track Paper Competition
- Web/Mobile App Competition
- Workshop Tutorial on PyCaret to Automate Machine Learning Workflows

You are also cordially invited to join the DAIS Town Hall meeting to learn about the current status of the DAIS division, many of its exciting activities, and future plans (4:30pm, Monday, May 22, Hyatt - Bolden 2). We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and greatly appreciate your feedback on our current and future initiatives. At the town hall meeting, we will also recognize the winners of DAIS competitions, teaching award and professional achievement award.
I would like to express my gratitude to our president-elect for 2022–2023, Na Zou (Texas A&M University), and current board directors, Nathan Gaw (U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology), Fei Gao (Cruise), Chenang Liu (Oklahoma State University), Haifeng Wang (Mississippi State University), Yu Jin (Binghamton University), Ashif Iquebal (Arizona State), Adam Meyers (University of Miami), Xiaowei Yue (Virginia Tech) and Zimo Wang (Binghamton University), for their contributions to the Division. I would also like to share our election results. Chenang Liu (Oklahoma State University) has been elected as the president-elect for the 2023–2024 academic year, and our new board directors include Yinan Wang (Rensselaer Polytechnic University) Arda Vanli (FAMU-FSU), Cesar Ruiz (University of Oklahoma) and Xiaoyu Chen (University of Louisville). I have no doubt that 2023–2024 will be another fantastic year.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2023 IISE Annual Conference and Expo on the DAIS track and wish everyone a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
