Call for Papers

EdbA 2020 - First International Workshop on Event Data and Behavioral
Analytics

5 October 2020
Co-located with the 2nd Int. Conference on Process Mining (ICPM)

http://www.edba.science

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

Due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been decided that
ICPM 2020 will be a fully virtual conference. The same will apply to the
EdbA workshop. Further details will follow as we get nearer to the workshop
date.

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

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 in 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 18, 2020 (extended!)
- Papers submission deadline: August 25, 2020 (extended!)
- Notification: September 14, 2020
- Camera-ready deadline: September 22, 2020
- Workshop: October 5, 2020


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

Over the past decades, gathering, managing 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 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, business entities,
objects and/or systems at a fine-grained level.

While each of these domains have their own applications and idiosyncrasies,
they share the common denominator of event data and the objective to
analyze behavior. Yet, these domains also differ in their 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 how to gather event data being recorded at various sources
and contexts, how to store event data in various forms, and how to exploit
event data for analysis of 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 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.


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
- Gathering, 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.
