DART is part of a much larger State effort to establish an educational and research foundation for expanding and supporting a sustainable data science sector within our economy. Data science is targeted in this EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) project because it is a strategically important technology for a significant and growing part of the State's economy. Arkansas companies, including Walmart, Tyson, J.B. Hunt Transport Service Inc., Stephens Inc., First Orion, and Acxiom, make decisions from data, employ large numbers of data scientists, and are recruiting a workforce with a higher-level of broad and integrated data science skills...
DART operates as a true, multi-institution, multi-disciplinary data science research center, in which faculty and students from campuses across the state work together on targeted problems important to the research community and the economy of Arkansas.
