CALL FOR PAPERS

The workshop seeks contributions across two major thrusts, but is open to a broad view of interesting questions around the collection, dissemination, and use of data as well as interesting datasets:

The collection, evaluation, analysis, and use of data

• - Challenges and solutions in data collection, especially around security and privacy
• - Challenges and solutions in hardware/system design of data collection devices
• - Expectations and norms for data collection from sensor networks, especially those that involve human factors
• - Novel insights from existing datasets
• - Metadata management for complex datasets
• - Synthetic data, including its generation, application, and utility
• - Success stories - key properties of useful datasets and how to generalize them
• - Preprocessing, cleaning, and fusing datasets
• - Preliminary analysis and visualization of the data
• - Shortcomings of prior datasets - and how to address them in the future
• - Position papers on policies and norms from experimental design through data management and use are explicitly welcomed

New and interesting datasets, including but not limited to:

• - Shopping related sensing data
• - Animal related data or sensed data
• - Anonymized health, or synthetic health related data
• - Indoor localization, especially unprocessed/unfiltered physical layer measurements
• - Smart building, occupancy, motion data, energy, human comfort, vibration, BIM
• - Vehicular, GPS, cellular, or wifi traces and remote sensing
• - Reproductions of prior work that validate, refute, or enhance results
• - Anonymized contact tracing, interaction and exposure notification data

To enable the longevity and continued utility of submitted datasets, all datasets must be uploaded to a permanent data repository such as a Zenodo or CRAWDAD as part of the camera-ready preparation. Submissions may refer to datasets hosted on personal or temporary hosting but this hosting must be made permanent by time of publication.

Submission Format

Submissions may range from 1-5 pages in PDF format, excluding references, using the standard ACM conference template. DATA 2022 follows the single-blind review policy. The names and affiliations of all the authors must be present in the submitted manuscript. Submissions are strongly encouraged to use only as much space as needed to clearly convey the significance of the work—we fully expect many submissions, especially datasets, to use only 1-2 pages, but wish to allow those interested in fully elucidating positions on data collection and use or insights from reproducibility efforts ample space to do so. Submissions should use only as much space as necessary to clearly convey their ideas and contributions.
