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.
