The  2022 Pre-ICIS SIGDSA Symposium on Analytics for Digital Frontiers will be held on December 10-11, 2022 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Aligned with the Symposium theme of Analytics for Digital Frontiers, 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.

The symposium theme is "Analytics for Digital Frontiers" and this year’s program will focus on the role of data analytics in organizations’ digitization and transformation journey. We welcome your participation and attendance at this exciting symposium.

The teaching and prototype track will accept papers of two types: (a) Teaching papers related to teaching cases, tutorials, curriculum innovations, pedagogical studies, or infrastructure for teaching analytics. Submissions must not exceed ten (10) single-spaced pages (all-inclusive). (b) Prototype subtrack will welcome proposal submissions upto five to seven (5-7) single-spaced pages or design research idea papers with extended abstract upto two to three (2-3) single-spaced pages. See more details below.

Authors of accepted papers will have the option of publishing: (a) the complete manuscript OR (b) an extended abstract (single-spaced 2-3 pages) as part of the symposium proceedings on AIS eLibrary. If authors choose to publish only the extended abstract, authors will retain the copyright of the original manuscript submitted for review and feedback. Please see details below.

Submissions should address the acquisition, application, and development of the knowledge and skills required to use business analytics and data science in industry or topics related to the creation and maintenance of environments that support this education. We also seek prototype demonstrations or design research idea papers showcasing/discussing innovative analytics methodologies and applications.

TEACHING SUB-TRACK

Contributions can be of varied types, including: teaching cases, tutorials, curriculum innovations, pedagogical studies, or infrastructure for teaching analytics, 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 an 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 the 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
- 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 such as integration of data management and analytics, integration of analytics and visualization tools, analytics certification and digital badges programs, open source vs. proprietary platforms, and the use of platform and/or software to enhance pedagogy for data mining, machine learning, text mining, network - analytics, cognitive analytics using big data and/or novel applications
- Data sets that can be used by other faculty members to augment their pedagogy
- Hands-on software experiences and software tutorials

Submissions for the teaching sub-track must not exceed ten (10) single-spaced pages and must conform to the paper submission template. The page limit covers everything in the submission, including title, text, tables, figures, appendices, and references. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected. Based on the type of submission (e.g., teaching case, tutorial, etc.), the correct submission type should be mentioned in the submission.

PROTOTYPE SUB-TRACK

Submissions can be of one of the types listed below:

(a) Prototype Demonstrations Proposals
These are showcasing innovative methodological developments or applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, text mining, or 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.
The proposal submission must be five to seven (5-7) single-spaced pages and must conform to the paper submission template. The page limit covers everything in the submission, including title, text, tables, figures, appendices, and references. 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. The submission type should be mentioned in the submission as Prototype Demonstration.

(b) Design Research Idea Paper
Idea papers are supposed to identify innovative future lines of design science-oriented research related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, text mining, or other data analytics/decision support topics. 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.
The idea paper must be two to three (2-3) single-spaced pages extended abstract and must conform to the paper submission template. The page limit covers everything in the submission, including title, text, tables, figures, and references. The submission type should be mentioned in the submission as Design Research Idea Paper.
