SIGDSA provides a forum for facilitating constructive discussions for researchers, instructors, and practitioners who are engaged in exploring topics and issues in AI, Business Analytics, and Data Science. The pre-ICIS SIGDSA 2024 Symposium theme is “Emerging AI Platforms for Societal Good.” This theme reflects the increased emphasis on understanding the impact of emerging digital platforms, such as Generative AI, on community structures, social dynamics, innovation strategies, global trends, and governance reform.
The research track aims to promote computational, theoretical (mathematical or social sciences driven) as well as empirical studies in data analytics, big intelligence, AI, ML, and their applications in different domains. We seek comprehensive Completed Research or early-stage Research-in-Progress papers on topics including, but not limited to:
Authors of accepted papers will have the option of publishing: (a) the complete manuscript OR (b) an extended abstract (single-spaced 2-3 pages) as part of the symposium proceedings on AIS eLibrary. If authors choose to publish only the extended abstract, authors will retain the copyright of the original manuscript submitted for review and feedback. Please see the details below.
Completed research papers are full-length papers documenting the results of finished research projects. For empirical work, completed research papers should have completed analyses and documentation of results. Completed research papers must be at most (16) single-spaced pages (all-inclusive) and must conform to the paper submission template. The page limit covers everything in the submission, including the title, text, tables, figures, appendices, and references. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.
Research-in-progress papers typically describe work that is yet to be completed but is promising. Short papers could take various forms. For example, they can be theoretical (presenting promising frameworks), empirical (with some preliminary results), or present a design of novel and useful concepts, artefacts (testing need not be done). Short papers should include a paragraph describing what work remains to complete the paper and the authors’ plan for the next steps. Please note that the progress described is expected to be substantive in nature. Short papers must be at most eight (8) single-spaced pages and must conform to the paper submission template. The page limit covers everything in the submission, including title, text, tables, figures, appendices, and references. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected. If accepted, research-in-progress papers will be presented as part of a slam presentation session.
