A roadmap to data science: Background, future, and trends

Data science is a combination of several disciplines that aims to get accurate insights from a bunch of data, develop the technology, and algorithm to solve the complicated problems analytically. Today, data science plays a massive role in our life, and researchers realise how it is essential. Numerous research studies on data science have been published in recent years, but each focus on specific issues, such as data science and its impact on business, manufacturing, academia, and healthcare. This paper will present a roadmap of data science to benefit the readers to know about this field and realise how it is essential in several areas. In addition, it clarifies the mechanism of how data science work and what are the capabilities of the data scientist to be able to work in this field. It also shows the trends and future work of data science. Copyright © 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
