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.
