All submissions will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. The submissions will be judged on originality, relevance, technical quality, and clarity. SIMBig is one of the first conferences aiming to promote collaborations across both Data Science and Economics disciplines. We would like to thank you in advance for your scientific contribution to the 6th SIMBig and look forward to having the opportunity to showcase and disseminate your research.

• New scenarios, methods and techniques for data-driven software engineering
• New and emerging ideas about techniques for data-driven software engineering
