===================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
The rapid development in information science and technology in general
and in
growth complexity and volume of data in particular has introduced new
challenges
for the research community. Many sources produce data continuously. Examples
include sensor networks, wireless networks, radio frequency
identification, health-
care devices and information systems, customer click streams, telephone
records,
multimedia data, scientific data, sets of retail chain transactions,
etc. These sources
are called data streams. A data stream is an ordered sequence of
instances that can
be read only once or a small number of times using limited computing and
storage
capabilities. These sources of data are characterized by being
open-ended, flowing at
high-speed, and generated by non stationary distributions.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We are looking for original, unpublished work related to algorithms,
methods and
applications on data streams. Topics include (but are not restricted) to:
* Data Stream Models
* Languages for Stream Query
* Continuous Queries
* Clustering from Data Streams
* Decision Trees from Data Streams
* Association Rules from Data Streams
* Decision Rules from Data Streams
* Bayesian networks from Data Streams
* Feature Selection from Data Streams
* Visualization Techniques for Data Streams
* Incremental on-line Learning Algorithms
* Single-Pass Algorithms
* Temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal data mining
* Scalable Algorithms
* Real-Time and Real-World Applications using Stream data
* Distributed and Social Stream Mining
IMPORTANT DATES (strict)
1. Paper Submission: September 12, 2014
2. Author Notification: November 17, 2014
3. Camera‐ready copies: December 8, 2014
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers should be submitted in PDF using the SAC 2015 conference management
system: http://www.softconf.com/f/sac2015/. Authors are invited to
submit original
papers in all topics related to data streams. All papers should be
submitted in ACM
2-column camera ready format for publication in the symposium
proceedings. ACM
SAC follows a double blind review process. Consequently, the author(s)
name(s) and
address(s) must NOT appear in the body of the submitted paper, and
self-references
should be in the third person. This is to facilitate double blind review
required by
ACM. All submitted papers must include the paper identification number
provided by
the eCMS system when the paper is first registered. The number must
appear on the
front page, above the title of the paper. Each submitted paper will be
fully refereed
and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The
conference
proceedings will be published by ACM. The maximum number of pages
allowed for
the final papers is 6 pages. There is a set of templates to support the
required paper
format for a number of document preparation systems at:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
For accepted papers, registration for the conference is required and
allows the paper
to be printed in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy
attending SAC
MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper to be
included in the
ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers will result in
excluding the
papers from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION
Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on
their research
ideas are invited to submit original abstracts of their research work in
areas of
experimental computing and application development related to SAC 2015
Tracks.
The SRC program is designed to provide graduate students the opportunity
to meet
and exchange ideas with researcher and practitioners in their areas of
interest. All
research abstract submissions will be reviewed by researchers and
practitioners with
expertise in the track focus area to which they are submitted. Authors
of selected
abstracts will have the opportunity to give poster and oral
presentations of their
work and compete for three top wining places. The SRC committee will
evaluate and
select First, Second, and Third place winners. The winners will receive
cash awards
and SIGAPP recognition certificates during the conference banquet
dinner. Authors of
selected abstracts are eligible to apply to the SIGAPP Student Travel
Award program
for support.
Graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts (minimum of
two pages;
maximum of four pages) following the instructions published at SAC 2015
website.
Submission of the same abstract to multiple tracks is not allowed.
Submissions must
address original and unpublished research work related to a SAC track, with
emphasis on the innovation behind the research idea. The submission
should address
the research problem being investigated, the proposed approach and research
methodology, and sample preliminary results of the work. In addition,
the abstract
should reflect on the originality of the work, innovation of the
approach, and
applicability of the results to real-world problems. All abstracts must
be submitted
thought the START Submission system.
If you encounter any problems with your submission, please contact the
Program Coordinator.
