Program and Pre-proceedings

Introduction

DataMod 2017 aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and research institutions interested in the combined application of computational modelling methods with data-driven techniques from the areas of knowledge management, data mining and machine learning. Modelling methodologies of interest include automata, agents, Petri nets, process algebras and rewriting systems. Application domains include social systems, ecology, biology, medicine, smart cities, governance, security, education, software engineering, and any other field that deals with complex systems and large amounts of data. Papers can present research results in any of the themes of interest for the symposium as well as application experiences, tools and promising preliminary ideas. Papers dealing with synergistic approaches that integrate modelling and knowledge management/discovery or that exploit knowledge management/discovery to develop/syntesise system models are especially welcome.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Modelling and analysis methodologies include:

  • Agent-based Methodologies
  • Automata-based Methodologies
  • Big Data Analytics
  • Cellular Automata
  • Classification
  • Clustering, Segmentation and Profiling
  • Conformance Analysis
  • Constraint Programming
  • Data Mining
  • Differential Equations
  • Game Theory
  • Machine Learning
  • Membrane Systems
  • Network Theory and Analysis
  • Ontologies
  • Optimisation Modelling
  • Petri Nets
  • Process Calculi
  • Process Mining
  • Rewriting Systems
  • Spatio-temporal Data Analysis/Mining
  • Statistical Model Checking
  • Text Mining
  • Topological Data Analysis
 Application domains include:

  • Biology
  • Brain Data and Simulation
  • Business Process Management
  • Climate Change
  • Cybersecurity
  • Ecology
  • Education
  • Environmental Risk Assessment and Management
  • Enterprise Architectures
  • Epidemiology
  • Genetics
  • Governance
  • Open Source Software Development and Communities
  • Pharmacology
  • Resilience Engineering
  • Safety and Security Risk Assessment
  • Social Good
  • Social Software Engineering
  • Social Systems
  • Sustainable Development
  • Threat modelling and analysis
  • Urban Ecology
  • Smart Cities and Smart Lands

Synergistic approaches include:

  1. use of modelling methods and notations in a knowledge management/discovery context
  2. development and use of common modelling and knowledge management/discovery frameworks to explore and understand complex systems from the application domains of interest

Paper Submission and Publication

Papers can take one of the following two forms:

  • Regular (research, tool or position) paper, up to 15 pages
  • Short (research, tool or position) paper, up to 8 pages

Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.

SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit their contributions via Easychair. The Easychair submission webpage is available at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datamod2017

All papers should be written in English and prepared using the specific LNCS templates available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Committee members. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email through the Easychair platform.

PUBLICATION

Accepted papers will be included in the Symposium programme and will appear in the symposium pre-proceedings. Pre-proceedings will be available online before the Symposium.

LNCS logoRevised versions of accepted papers will be published after the Symposium by Springer in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science ( http://www.springer.com/lncs ), which will collect contributions to some workshops and symposia co-located with SEFM 2017. Condition for inclusion in the post-proceedings is that at least one of the co-authors has presented the paper at the Symposium.

A special issue of a relevant journal devoted to extended versions of DataMod papers is planned.
