<<<< TRACK DESCRIPTION >>>>
Data have been always considered one of the most important assets for organizations since it plays a fundamental role at both operational and strategic level. Nowadays, as we are utilizing the benefits of recent technological innovations, such as mobile and sensor technologies, an ever increasing amount of data is created and gathered in organizations. 

Although many advances have been achieved in the field, innovative technologies are presenting us new challenges on how to better address data quality concerns for the success of a task in whatever the domain of the user (work, entertainment ...).

For example, the Internet era had an enormous impact on the information management due to fact that the data portfolio includes heterogeneous sources retrieved from the organizational information system and from the Web by means of data services, web crawling and so on. The need to integrate and manage all these sources in an efficient manner lies behind a set of new topics that are becoming relevant in the data management scenario. Data and Information quality research areas as well have to address new challenges such as the selection and the integration of trustworthy contents from the Web, content credibility and author reputation outstands.

The purpose of this track is to promote all the areas related to the adoption of emergent and innovative technologies to leverage the data and information quality foundations in innovative Information Systems (e.g., those based on novel data management architectures). 

<<<< TOPICS OF INTEREST >>>>

Topics include but are not limited to: 

* TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN CHALLENGES
o Data and Data Quality as a Service (DaaS and DQaaS) o Master data management o Data quality assessment and improvement techniques (e.g., data cleaning and data enhancement tools) o Visualization tools (e.g. dashboards) for data quality o Big data and Data Quality o Sensor Technology and Data Quality o Mobile Technologies and Data Quality o Data Quality in Linked Data / Open Data o Data Quality Management in Cloud Environments o Data Quality in advanced Web applications (e.g., web services, mashups, social applications, social media, crowdsourcing)

* MANAGEMENT DRIVEN CHALLENGES
o Methodologies for information quality management o Managing Data and Information Quality context o Data and Information Quality in Business Process o Managing Information Quality Risks o Cost-Benefit and Information Quality o Information Quality Compliance (e.g., adherence to data quality standards, business rules, national legislation)

* DOMAIN DRIVEN CHALLENGES
o E-government
o Healthcare
