Special Interest Group for Decision Sciences and Analytics (SIGDSA) CALL FOR PROTOTYPE DEMONSTRATIONS & IDEA PAPERS
Proposals are invited to a Prototypes track for submission to the Pre-ICIS 2020 SIGDSA Symposium. Submissions can be of one of the types listed below.
1. Prototype demonstrations proposals: These are showcasing innovative methodological developments or applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, text mining, and other data analytics/decision support techniques are encouraged. Prototypes should highlight aspects such as novelty, architecture, functioning, and ongoing/future work. This high-visibility category is different from paper presentation category and provides an opportunity to display a working artifact to an audience in an interactive manner. Prototype demonstrations will involve a poster display (printed or electronic) and a live demonstration of a prototype to the attendees.
2. Design science-oriented idea papers: Idea papers are supposed to identify innovative future lines of design-oriented BIA research related to the topics discussed above. The idea papers should include a convincing motivation, a brief overview of the relevant state of the art, the core idea, possible contributions to research and practice, and an outline of a possible course of the research project. Submission Topics
These can be related to (but not limited to) business intelligence, big data analytics, data federation, data management and analytics in the cloud (incl. containerized analytics and function-as-a-service for analytics), data catalogs, process mining, ETL and business intelligence automation and security, streaming data management, social media analytics, machine and deep learning, embedded analytics (e.g., Internet of Things, or IoT), visual analytics, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence, model sharing, deployment and administration systems, analytics-oriented data generation for teaching, development, or testing, or platforms for community-based model development / analytics competitions or other emerging data management and analytic technologies. Submissions may also highlight novel applications in one or more business sectors, e.g., financial services, manufacturing, logistics, retail, pharmaceutical, healthcare, government, agribusiness, hospitality, IT services, education and entertainment, supply chain, etc. The contributions should ignite a joint brainstorming session on future trajectories for business intelligence and analytics (BIA) research.
JOURNAL PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY Selected papers from the symposium will be eligible for fast-track review for publication consideration in the https://www.tandfonline.com/loi/tjba20. It should be noted that the papers will go through a rigorous review process with no guarantee of acceptance. The papers will need to be extended to full papers and then submitted to the journal to be considered for publication.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Prototype proposals and idea papers can be submitted in one of two formats 1. extended abstract: two to three single-spaced pages in length, or 2. complete papers: six to seven pages in length.
In addition to the Title, Abstract, and Keywords, a prototype proposal should contain only one or two sections describing the prototype or core research idea to be showcased, highlighting the key features and novelty. Submission type should be mentioned in the submission as Prototype Demonstration or Design Research Idea Paper respectively.
• Submission Format All submissions must conform to the template linked https://preicissigdsa2020.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/sigdsa2020_submission_....
• Submission System All papers need to be submitted through the Easy Chair system linked https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigdsa2020symposium. The submitting author will need to create an account to submit the paper.
• Important Dates - Submission Deadline: September 10, 2020 - Other relevant dates: https://preicissigdsa2020.wordpress.com/important-dates.
AWARDS • Best Prototype Award Prototypes/demonstrations (not the idea papers) will be evaluated at the conference by a panel of judges. One prototype will be selected for the “Best Prototype” award recognition at the symposium.
• Best Reviewer Award One reviewer from the prototype track will be selected for the “Best Reviewer” award recognition at the symposium.
