Call for Papers

Nowadays, due to the advent of Big Data, Decision Support Systems (DSS) embrace a wider range of systems, in which novel solutions combining advanced data management and data analytics, (semi-)automating the data lifecycle (from ingestion to visualization). Yet, the DSS principles remain the same: these systems acknowledge the relevance to manage data in an efficient way (by means of data modeling and optimized data processing) to serve innovative data analysis bringing added value to organizations. The trend is to move from current systems that are "data presenting" to more dynamic systems that allow the semi-automation of the decision making process. This means that systems partially guide their users towards data discovery, management and system-aided decision making via intelligent techniques and visualization. In the back stage, the advent of the big data era, requires that new methods, models, techniques and architectures are developed to cope with the increasing demand in capacity, data type diversity, schema and data variability and responsiveness.

Research topics include, but are not limited to:

• Design and Language: Data Management Fundamentals and Data Variety

• Optimization: Coping with Volume and Velocity

• Analytical Processing and Applications: Analytics in conjunction Value and Veracity, Integration of analytics with ML, DM, IR, search engines, recommenders, Big Data Applications

• Special Theme on Data Exploration

DOLAP accepts short (5 pages) and long (10 pages) paper submissions in ACM format. Long papers include novel and mature research, industrial or survey work. Long papers of good quality but not mature enough might be accepted to the workshop as short papers. Short papers include:

• On-going: novel research works with preliminary results.

• Vision: position papers outlining research issues for future work.

DOLAP includes a second review round for uncertain cases where either there is no agreement among the reviewers, or they ask for a clarification prior to accept the paper.

Submissions will be accepted only through the submission site EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dolap2021

Important Dates:

(NEW) Abstract submission: December 8, 2020
