Call for Papers

EdbA 2021 - Second International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral
Analytics

1 November 2021
Co-located with the 3rd Int. Conference on Process Mining (ICPM)

http://www.edba.science

********************************************************************************

The workshop aims to further the development of new (or the novel
application of existing) techniques, algorithms, and data structures for
recording, storing, managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing event
data in various forms in order to gain insights into the behavior of
various kinds. The workshop welcomes different types of submissions, i.e.
original research papers, case study reports, position papers, idea papers,
challenge papers, and WiP papers on event data and behavioral analytics.


Important Dates
--------------------------

- Abstract submission deadline: August 19, 2021
- Papers submission deadline: August 26, 2021
- Notification: September 16, 2021
- Camera-ready deadline: September 30, 2021
- Workshop: November 1, 2021


Scope
--------------------------

Over the past decades, capturing, storing, and analyzing event data has
gained attention in various domains such as process mining, clickstream
analytics, IoT analytics, e-commerce, and retail analytics, online gaming
analytics, security analytics, website traffic analytics and preventive
maintenance, smart homes, and offices, just to name a few. It even resulted
in the birth of new research domains such as behavioral informatics,
behavioral analytics, and behavioral operations research. The interest in
event data lies in its analytical potential as it captures the dynamic
behavior of people, objects, and/or systems at a fine-grained level.

While each of these domains has its own applications and idiosyncrasies,
they share the common denominator of event data and the objective to
analyze behavior. Yet, these domains also differ in underlying assumptions
and techniques used. Therefore, the objective of this workshop is to
provide a forum to practitioners and researchers for studying a
quintessential, minimal notion of events as the common denominator for
records of discrete behavior in all its forms, and to study, develop and
discuss techniques and methods for behavioral analytics based on all kinds
of events.

The Event Data & Behavioral Analytics (EdbA) workshop considers as its
starting point the presence of event data being recorded at various sources
and contexts, being stored in various forms, and being considered for
analysis of the behavior of various kinds. Event data at different levels
of granularity are considered, ranging from frequent sensor-based events in
IoT settings to recordings of aggregate or long-running behavior involving
time intervals and rich information. Behavior often involves multiple
entities, objects, and actors to which events can be correlated in various
ways. In these situations, a unique explicit process notion does either not
exist, is unclear or different processes or dynamics could be recorded in
the same dataset.

The workshop aims to further the development of new (or the novel
application of existing) techniques, algorithms, and data structures for
recording, storing, managing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing event
data in various forms. The workshop welcomes two types of submissions, i.e.
original research papers as well as case study reports on event data and
behavioral analytics.


Topics of interest
--------------------------

The topics considered in the workshop consist of, but are not limited to:

- Augmentation of fine-grained event data to higher-order activities or
behavior
- Storage, integration, and querying of behavioral event data
- Representation and analysis of event data without a unique case
identifier (without case identifier or with multiple case identifiers
present)
- Monitoring and detection of complex behavior
- Diagnosis of behavior, including root-cause analysis, variance analysis,
cluster analysis and many other exploratory analysis techniques
- Visual analytics of (complex) behavior
- Behavior Pattern detection, e.g., in real-time location data or other
types of context-rich data
- Outlier Behavior Detection
- Behavior Prediction
- Prescriptive analytics which predicts behavior and prescribes which
action could steer behavior in a specific direction


Submissions
-----------------

We are interested in original research papers, case study reports, position
papers, idea papers, challenge papers, and WiP papers. Submissions must use
the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format (see the instructions [1]) and cannot exceed
12 pages (always including tables, figures, the bibliography, and
appendices). Only papers in English will be considered and must present
original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere.
Papers must be submitted electronically via the EasyChair portal [2].

All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP)
series.
