CALL FOR PAPERS (01)
Workshop on Data-Driven Decision Guidance and Support Systems (DGSS)
In conjunction with the 29th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering
(ICDE 2013)
http://dgss.vse.gmu.edu/ (02)
Brisbane, Australia
Either 8 or 12 April 2013 (to be confirmed) (03)
You are invited to participate in the upcoming Workshop on Data-Driven Decision
Guidance and Support Systems (DGSS), to be held as part of the 28th IEEE
International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2012) in Brisbane,
Australia, on April 8-12, 2013. Brisbane is the capital city of the state of
Queensland. The conference will be held at the Sofitel Hotel in the center of
Brisbane. (04)
Decision support systems (DSS) are widely used to support business or
organizational decision-making. They are used to inform decisions at the
management, operations and planning levels of an organization. Decision
guidance systems (DGS) are decision support systems that go beyond organizing
and displaying information, providing actionable recommendations to and
extracting knowledge from human decision-makers. (05)
Decision Guidance and Support Systems (DGSS) often need to:
- use and mine large amounts of data collected from multiple
sources,
- learn deterministic or stochastic models of underlying
processes from historical data
- learn objectives or decision preferences from decision makers'
responses,
- perform optimization under diverse constraints, e.g., from
business or engineering limitations and laws of nature, and
- present and justify actionable recommendations to decision
makers. (06)
AUDIENCE AND SCOPE (07)
This workshop will bring together DGSS researchers and practitioners to present
novel methodologies, models, algorithms, systems, tools, applications and case
studies of DGSS. Most importantly, the workshop will be a forum to discuss how
to utilize advances from multiple disciplines for building DGSS that can
intelligently merge human knowledge and expertise with formal mathematical
models to make better decisions. The workshop will include both formal
presentations and informal discussion of important research directions in DGSS,
and their interactions with Knowledge and data engineering. (08)
TOPICS (09)
The areas below are intended as general guidance. Contributions are welcome on
any topic related to DGSS and any domain using DGSS. (010)
* Fundamental technical challenges for DGSS
- Knowledge management for DGSS
- Advanced analytics for managerial DGSS
- Data Warehousing, Analytics and Big Data for DGSS
- Cloud computing and DGSS
- Learning agents for DGSS
- Business intelligence for DGSS
- Data mining and knowledge discovery for DGSS
- Regression, time series, and other statistical methods for DGSS
- Optimization methods for DGSS
- Knowledge and resource discovery for DGSS
- Uncertain and probabilistic data use for DGSS (011)
* DGSS for different categories of decision
- Support for recommender systems
- Support for negotiation
- Decision dynamics, processes and issues for decisions with multiple
stakeholders
- Group, distributed, and collaborative DGSS
- Crowd-sourcing and collective intelligence for DGSS
- DGSS for strategic, tactical and operational level decisions
- DGSS for social and mobile networks (012)
* Case studies of DGSS drawn from domains such as:
- Health care
- Sustainable manufacturing
- Energy efficiency and smart grid
- Environmental systems
- Military decision making
- Logistics and supply chain management (013)
IMPORTANT DATES (014)
October 19, 2012 - Paper submissions due
December 5, 2012 - Author notification
December 17, 2012 - Camera ready papers due
April 8, 2012 - Workshop on Decision Guidance and Support Systems (015)
SUBMISSION DETAILS (016)
Each submission will be evaluated for acceptability by at least three members
of the Program Committee. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance
to the workshop theme, originality, potential significance, topicality and
clarity. Since all accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, we
require that at least one of the submitting authors must be a registered
participant at the ICDE 2012 Conference, and committed to attend the DGSS
Workshop. (017)
Submissions to the Workshop are only accepted pdf format and should be sent via
the workshop's submission site: http://dgss.vse.gmu.edu/submission.html. Papers
must be formatted in the IEEE camera-ready format. Submissions must not exceed
12 pages, including figures. Submissions exceeding this limit will not be
reviewed. (018)
Following the general acceptance rules of the ICDE 2011 conference, papers
that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been
published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference
will not be accepted to the DGSS workshop. Authors of papers accepted to ICDE
2013 on a topic relevant to DGSS are invited to present a poster connecting
their ICDE paper to to the topics of DGSS. Such authors should submit an
abstract describing their ICDE paper and indicating its connection to DGSS. (019)
PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION (020)
ICDE 2011 will be a full-day workshop. The sessions will be planned in a format
that invites an open debate and discussion of fundamental challenges of
data-driven DGSS. All papers accepted to the DGSS Workshop will be presented
during the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings, which will be
available as a separate publication after the Conference. In addition,
technical papers accepted for presentation at the DGSS Workshop will be
eligible for participating in an international journal special issue or in a
post-proceedings book. (021)
