will bring together complementary aspects of research, pedagogy, and
practice in the form of presentations, prototypes, teaching cases, teaching
tips, tutorials, demos, and more. It will provide a forum for facilitating
constructive discussions for researchers, instructors, and educators who
are engaged in exploring topics and issues in business analytics and data
science at large. Top submissions will be selected for the “Best Teaching &
Prototype” awards recognition at the symposium.
The Deadline for authors for manuscript submission is Oct 1, 2021.
See below for more details about the teaching & prototype track, the
upcoming important dates, and how to submit your teaching and prototype
paper to the symposium:
Call for Papers: Teaching and Prototype track
The business analytics field is fast changing with the advent of
cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence tools.
Organizations have begun to understand not only the great potential for key
competitive advantage but also the potential for grave misuse and abuse of
data and data science. Educators need to dynamically respond to industry
needs and develop curricula that empower innovative, ethical and
sustainable data science.
Aligned with the 2021 SIGDSA Symposium theme of Analytics and AI for a
Sustainable and Resilient, we seek submissions focused on teaching business
intelligence, big data analytics, cognitive analytics, social media
analytics, machine learning, IoT analytics, data science, visualization, or
other emerging analytic technologies. Submissions should address the
acquisition, application, and development of the knowledge and skills
required to use business analytics in industry or topics related to the
creation and maintenance of environments that support this education.
TEACHING SUB-TRACK SUBMISSIONS
Contributions can be of varied types, including pedagogical studies,
teaching cases, teaching tips, tutorial exercises, or similar artifacts
related to curriculum, pedagogy/teaching, learning, and infrastructure
addressing topics including but not limited to:
· Business Analytics (BA) curriculum development with assessment
methods
· Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) for Business Intelligence, Analytics,
Machine Learning, Data Science
· Developing interdisciplinary focus that cuts across traditional
functional areas
· Differentiating business analytics curricula for Undergraduate,
MBA, Master of Science and Executive Education, and tailoring curricula to
generalists and specialists
· Integration of IT and analytics skills
· New BA programs, courses, and centers
· Pedagogical innovations in business analytics
· Innovative pedagogical approaches to teaching ethics in business
analytics design, development, and implementation
· Innovations in delivery of analytics courses (online, hybrid,
student interaction, etc.)
· Challenges and solutions related to the construction and
maintenance of classrooms and labs in support of business analytics
education
· Organizational case studies (with teaching notes) that provide
rich stories of individual organizations’ management and analytics
initiatives and address a variety of issues in management sponsorship,
strategic priorities, adoption and implementation of analytics, technical
challenges, collaboration, communication, and actionable results in
business analytics:
· Different stakeholders involved in decision-making process and
their role in implementation success
· Role of strategic planning in adoption of analytics and
implementation success
· Organizational challenges and barriers
· Metrics to measure effectiveness of these technologies to enhance
business value
· Success factors and reasons for failure
· Ethical and/or global issues
* Data sets that can be used by other faculty members to augment their
pedagogy
* Hands-on software experiences and software tutorials
· Tutorial exercises (with teaching notes) and simulations that
provide a business scenario, data sets, and step-by-step introduction to
the latest business analytics tools, covering topics including but not
limited to:
* Integration of data management and analytics
* Integration of analytics and visualization tools
* Analytics certification and digital badges programs
* Open source vs. proprietary platforms
* The use of platform and/or software to enhance pedagogy for
data mining, cognitive analytics, text mining, and sentiment analysis using
social media data and big data
PROTOTYPES SUB-TRACK SUBMISSIONS
Submissions can be of one of the types listed below.
* Prototype demonstration proposals:
These are showcasing innovative methodological developments or
applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning,
text mining, and other data analytics/decision support techniques are
encouraged. Prototypes should highlight aspects such as novelty,
architecture, functioning, and ongoing/future work. This high-visibility
category is different from the research paper presentation category and
provides an opportunity to display a working artifact to an audience in an
interactive manner. Prototype demonstrations will involve a poster display
(printed or electronic) and a live demonstration of a prototype to the
attendees.
* Design science-oriented idea papers:
Idea papers are supposed to identify innovative future lines of
design-oriented BIA research related to the topics discussed above. The
idea papers should include a convincing motivation, a brief overview of the
relevant state of the art, the core idea, possible contributions to
research and practice, and an outline of a possible course of the research
project.
Prototype proposals and idea papers can be submitted in one of two formats
* extended abstract: two to three single-spaced pages in length, or
* complete papers: six to seven pages in length.
In addition to the Title, Abstract, and Keywords, a prototype proposal
should contain only one or two sections describing the prototype or core
research idea to be showcased, highlighting the key features and novelty.
Submission type should be mentioned in the submission as Prototype
Demonstration or Design Research Idea Paper respectively.
