Domestic and overseas scientists and experts in the field of data science research were invited including Director Jianhui Li from Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Associate research fellow, Mr. Ziming Zou from Center for Space Environment Research and Forecast, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Mr. Zhihong Shen and Mr. Yuanchun Zhou from Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Professor Chuang Liu from Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Dr. Xiaoru Yuan from School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, Peking University; Mr. Ben Hu from Data Management Association-China; Professor Paul Uhlir, Mr. Subhash Kuvelker and  Professor from  Daniel Cohen the Board on Research Data and Information at the U.S. National Academies; Dr. Melissa Cragin from National Science Foundation; Mrs. Bonnie Carroll from Information International Associates; Professor Laura Bartolo from Center for Materials Informatics, College of Arts and Sciences, Kent State University; Mr. Puneet Kishor from Creative Commons; Dr. Kerstin Lehnert from Integrated Earth Data Application Research Group, Columbia University and Dr. Sara Graves from Information Technology and Systems Center, the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

It is widely believed now that the potential benefits of big data are significant for research which has been revolutionized by the availability of huge volumes of data. Data-intensive science is becoming a more and more prevalent model of research. It occurs not only in science disciplines but also in social science disciplines. This workshop was joint hosted by Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology with the title of Data Intensive Research and Data Science which advances with the times. Both Chinese and American experts had a heated academic discussion and communication in Data Science, Data Sources and Storage, Analysis of Big Data and Data usage in several research fields and gave valuable advices.

Both Chinese and American experts said that after two-days meeting, they had a deep knowledge of the development of Data Science in China and America and gained valuable experience, hoping there will be more academic exchanges and lay a solid foundation for the future cooperation.
