• Novel research solutions: Innovative approaches to GenAI and data management challenges identified as highly impactful by the research community while while remaining firmly rooted in real-world applications.

• Defining long-term research agendas: What are the critical problems in the intersection of GenAI and data management that cannot be solved solely by advancements in models or improved prompt engineering?

• GenAI technologies in practice: Insights into current solutions with a focus on open problems identified through user or customer feedback and/or data-driven evaluations grounded on real-world data and applications

• Database research’s evolving role: How can database research remain relevant amidst rapid AI advancements and fast-paced industry developments?

• Identifying unsolved problems: What pressing data management challenges, overlooked by current GenAI offerings, should the industry prioritize based on insights from researchers.

Submissions

All submissions must be no longer than six pages, excluding the bibliography. There is no limit on the length of the bibliography. Papers should describe work in the field of GenAI+Data and emphasize one or more of the following dimensions: open problems for the community, user feedback, motivation and grounding on real-worlds scenarios. Accepted papers will be given 10 pages (plus a bibliography) for the camera-ready version and a presentation slot during the workshop.
