Call for Papers

The Program Committee of DataValue2019 invites submissions in the broad areas of Data Value and Data Governance.

Data is increasingly being utilised and exploited by enterprises as a means to gain competitive advantage. Data provides the capabilities such as delivering services, making informed decisions, and improve financial performance.

Yet, enterprises’ attention is usually focused on accumulating data as opposed to the value of the information or knowledge contained within this data. Moreover, even though information consumes immense resources and money in terms of data capture, storage, processing, and maintenance, ironically it typically receives no recognition on the financial balance sheet.

Due to it’s role and characteristics in enterprises and/or businesses, data can be considered as an asset. Additionally, information has a cost and a value, like most business assets, and theoretically it can be valued in the same way an asset is. Despite this, information has as yet resisted quantitative measurement.

Based on existing literature, we particularly identify the following open challenges:

• How can we represent and model data value?
• Can data value be quantified, and to what extent?
• Can data value be predicted?
• How does data governance affect data exploitation?

Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Data Exploitation	Data Value Chains/Networks
Data Value Models	Standards
Metrics	Use Cases
Best Practices	Data Value Quantification
Impacts	Data Governance Platforms

Instructions to Authors - Updated

The workshop will accept two types of submissions:

• Research Papers (max 10 pages) - presenting novel scientific research addressing the topics of the workshop.
• Position Papers (max 7 pages) - encouraging papers describing significant work in progress, late breaking results or ideas of the domain, as well as functional systems or datasets relevant to the community.

Further details are available here.

For both types of submissions we also welcome practical solutions, use case prototypes, best practices, etc. in an industry setting.

All submissions will be reviewed on a double blind basis. Please ensure to remove all forms of identification before submission. Submissions are only accepted through the PRIMORIS System (link provided below).

All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on digital support. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The proceedings are submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index) and Scopus.

At least one author of each submission will be required to register for, and attend, the conference.

Submissions should use the available templates for Word and Latex here.
