Young Scientists and early-stage research in Data Science Workshop 2023 (YSDS-23)

The promotion of young researchers and early-stage research is a special focus of the “Data Science and Measurement” of the German Informatics Society. We aim at providing them a platform, consisting of experienced researchers and practitioners, to share and discuss their ideas and get early feedback. In addition, we want to attract any researcher in the domain to present their early-stage research to initiate intensive discussions of, e.g., research plans, study protocols, or intermediate research outcomes. Finally yet importantly, we encourage practitioners to share their findings, experience, and future challenges. The workshop shall provide the opportunity to build or extend networks and initiate collaboration.

Submission Guidelines

UPDATE:

We implement a two stage process. First, we call for abstracts (up to two pages) that are due 25.03.23. Please indicate in the title, the type of paper ( xyz - research plan, - study protocol, - early results, ...). Further, we would appreciate the use of structured abstracts (Context of the work, Objective of the research, Method applied to achieve the results, Results and Conclusions).Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the committee. Notifications will be sent out by 31.03.23. Submissions of abstracts will be handled through easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ysds23.

For accepted abstract, we invite you to submit either a short paper (up to 2 pages, poster) or a long paper (up to 6 pages, presentation). The submissions will be reviewed for their eligibility to be come part of the proceedings. The deadline for this submission is 22.05.23. Notification is due, 20.06.23. The camera ready copy is due 30.06.21. Papers that are rejected in this round of reviews are still eligible to be presented at the workshop, but are not published in the proceedings.

The working language is English. We require the authors to use the GI template (https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni). Submissions of papers will be handled through easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ysds23. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee. 

Selected papers will be published in „GI-Edition: Lecture Notes in Informatics" (LNI). Submissions must be written in English and follow the guidelines published at https://informatik2023.gi.de/ and https://gi.de/service/publikationen/lni.

• Short Papers: Authors of short papers are required to participate in the poster session of the workshop and present their work through a poster. Note: short papers are not included in the conference proceedings.
• Full Papers: Authors of full papers are required to hold an oral presentation of their work during the workshop. At least one author needs to be registered for the workshop/conference. Note: Full papers might be included in the conference proceedings. 

List of Topics

The topic of work should be related to the field of data science, engineering of ML/AI, or measurement (in system and software engineering). Submissions should address the overall theme of the event "Designing Futures". E.g., by discussing how AI could support sustainability goals and at the same time being sustainable it self, or how Data Science could improve product/service development, orchestration, operation, ..., the impact of ML/AI on society, data science for social good, ...
