This book constitutes the conference proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis, which was held in October 2018 in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. The traditional focus of the IDA symposium series is on end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. The 29 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers cover all aspects of intelligent data analysis, including papers on intelligent support for modeling and analyzing data from complex, dynamical systems.
