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 and use of data

• - Challenges and solutions in data collection, especially around security and privacy
• - 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 these
• - Shortcomings of prior datasets—and how to address these 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
• - Reproductions of prior work that validate, refute, or enhance results

To enable the longevity of submitted datasets, we plan on providing a central location where a repository for the data, and information about the data can be archived for at least 5 years.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions may range from 1-5 pages in PDF format, excluding references, using the standard ACM conference template. 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. Please do not anonymize your submission. Upon acceptance, instructions for the final camera-ready abstract will be provided.

Dataset submissions should prefix paper titles with “Dataset: “ and must include a description of the dataset as well a reasonable accompanying data sample. Once accepted, a full described dataset must be shared to a public repository by the camera ready deadline. Issues on licenses will be resolved by generally following the procedure similar to CRAWDAD (https://crawdad.org/joinup.html) and special treatments, if needed, will be discussed separately with the TPC chairs.

Each accepted submission is required to have at least one author attend the workshop and present to the workshop attendees.
