CfP: Research track of the Pre-ICIS SIGDSA Symposium [1]
The 2021 PRE-ICIS SIGDSA SYMPOSIUM ON ANALYTICS AND AI FOR A
SUSTAINABLE
AND RESILIENT FUTURE [2] will be held on December 11-12, 2021
(Austin,
Texas). The symposium will be held in conjunction with the
Association
for Information System's International Conference on Information
Systems
[3] scheduled for December 12-15, 2021 (Austin, Texas).
We welcome your participation and attendance at this exciting
symposium.
The Research track of the Pre-ICIS SIGDSA Symposium [1] is seeking
forward-thinking research in the areas of data analytics and
business
intelligence, with a special focus on understanding the
applications and
issues associated with supporting greater connectivity between
people
and "things" on the basis of meaningful data analytics. Top
submissions
will be eligible for fast-track review for publication
consideration in
dedicated special issues in the _Decision Analytics Journal [4]_,
_Journal of Business Analytics_ [5], _E-service Journal [6]_, and
_Journal of Decision Systems_ [7].
The Deadline for authors for manuscript submission is OCT 1, 2021.
See below for more details about the Research track, the upcoming
important dates, and how to submit your research paper to the
symposium.
_CALL FOR PAPERS: RESEARCH TRACK_
As businesses continue to derive value from data analytics, the
explosive growth in big data, fueled in part, by the digital
ubiquity of
the Internet of Things (IoT), social media, and
technology-facilitated
human networks, presents new opportunities and challenges.
Research is
needed to examine the role of data and analytics in enabling
meaningful
networking, harnessing new business and societal opportunities
through
massive data sharing, leading to deeper understanding of the
implication
of unlimited connectivity across organizational boundaries and
disparate
datasets. The research is also due to societal, organizational and
individual issues flowing from the creation of "anytime/anywhere"
connectedness and the abundance of data. Additionally, applying a
fundamental understanding of human decision making theories and
established principals of decision support systems and approaches
- we
recognize the need to lift the current body of knowledge in this
area in
order to come up with robust new business models and technical
architectures that may transform organizations and societies
leveraging
connected data and analytics.
This research track aims to promote computational, theoretical
(mathematical or social sciences driven) as well as empirical
studies in
the areas of data analytics, big data and their various
applications in
different domains. We seek comprehensive COMPLETED RESEARCH or
early
stage RESEARCH-IN-PROGRESS papers on topics including, but not
limited
to:
* Data analytics in various business sectors (e.g., financial
services, manufacturing, retail, pharmaceutical, healthcare,
government,
agribusiness, hospitality and entertainment, supply chain, etc.)
* Big data and organizational transformation
* Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, deep learning,
reinforcement learning, and active learning methodologies and
applications for decision support
* Social media and marketing analytics
* Network and collaborative analytics for decision support
* Analytics connecting data and processes (e.g., process mining)
* Data analytics for sustainability (e.g., data analytics and
operational sustainability practices for sustainable business
management, big data and social media analytics for business to
business
sustainability, big data and predictive analytics capability for
supply
chain sustainability, orchestrating data analytics capability for
sustainability, etc.)
* Analytics using IoT devices such as wearables, RFID, etc.
* Data mining with blockchains and cryptocurrencies
* Data analytics and business intelligence theory and applications
* Innovative data-driven decision support tools and techniques
* Data analytics in behavioral research
* Predictive, descriptive and prescriptive approaches to analytics
* Natural language processing applications
* Data analytics technologies and applications
* Risks and benefits of interconnected decision-making(e.g.,
privacy
and ethical considerations in the use of data and analytics, dark
side
of analytics, etc.)
* Data and analytics for diverse societal applications (e.g.,
smart
cities, smart and connected communities, smart health, smart
energy
management)
* Data and analytics in shaping public policy
* Methodological issues of developing systems based on connected
big
data
_SUBMISSION CATEGORIES IN RESEARCH TRACK_
COMPLETED RESEARCH PAPERS
Completed research papers are full-length papers documenting the
results
of finished research projects. They should be similar to journal
submissions, but shorter. They should include analyses and
results.
Completed research papers MUST NOT EXCEED FOURTEEN (14)
SINGLE-SPACED
PAGES. All text, figures, tables, and appendices must be included
within
the page limit. The abstract, keywords and references are excluded
from
this page count.
RESEARCH-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS
Research-in-progress papers typically describe work that is
promising,
but ongoing and incomplete. Research-in-progress papers MUST NOT
EXCEED
SEVEN (7) SINGLE-SPACED PAGES. All text, figures, tables, and
appendices
must be included within the page limit. The abstract, keywords and
references are excluded from this page count.
_If accepted, research-in-progress papers will be presented as
part of a
slam presentation session and an e-poster session._
