Paper Formatting, Length, Double-blind Reviewing, and Reproducible
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The paper length allowed for the papers in the Research and Application
tracks is a maximum of ten (10) pages, whereas the paper length allowed for
the Student Poster and Industry Poster papers is a maximum of two (2)
pages.

The format for both types of papers is the standard 2-column
U.S. letter style IEEE Conference template. See the IEEE Proceedings
Author Guidelines:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
for further information and instructions.

All submissions will be blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the
basis of technical quality, relevance to the conference’s topics of
interest, originality, significance, and clarity. Author names and
affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic
references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Submissions
failing to comply with paper formatting and authors anonymity will be
rejected without reviews.

Because of the double-blind review process, non-anonymous papers that
have been issued as technical reports or similar cannot be considered
for DSAA’2020. An exception to this rule applies to arXiv papers that
were published in arXiv at least a month prior to DSAA’2020 submission
deadline. Authors can submit these arXiv papers to DSAA provided that
the submitted paper’s title and abstract are different from the one
appearing in arXiv. Papers that appear in arXiv from the DSAA’2020
submission deadline until the review process has ended, are not
allowed.

Authors are also encouraged to support their papers by providing
through a git-type public repository the code and data to support the
reproducibility of their results.


Proceedings, Indexing and Special Issues
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All accepted full-length papers will be published by IEEE and will be
submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The
conference proceedings will be submitted for EI indexing through
INSPEC by IEEE. Top-quality papers accepted and presented at the
conference will be selected for extension and invited to the special
issues of the International Journal of Data Science and Analytics
(JDSA, Springer) and some other journals we are working on.


Submission
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions to the main conference including Research Track &
Applications Track are available from Easy Chair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsaa2020).


Important Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reproducibility & supplementary: The advancement of data science
depends heavily on reproducibility. We strongly recommend that the
authors release their code and data to the public. Authors can provide
an optional two (2) page supplement at the end of their submitted
paper (it needs to be in the same PDF file and start on page 11). This
supplement can only be used to include (i) information necessary for
reproducing the experimental results reported in the paper (e.g.,
various algorithmic and model parameters and configurations,
hyper-parameter search spaces, details related to dataset filtering
and train/test splits, software versions, detailed hardware
configuration, etc.), and (ii) any data, pseudo-code and proofs that
due to space limitations, could not be included in the main
manuscript. Papers entering into the Best Research Paper and Best
Application Paper awards must show solid evidence for reproducibility.

Authorship: The list of authors at the time of submission is final and
cannot be changed.

Dual submissions: DSAA is an archival publication venue as such
submissions that have been previously published, accepted, or are
currently under-review at peer-review publication venues (i.e.,
journals, conferences, workshops with published proceedings, etc.) are
not permitted. DSAA has a strict no dual submission policy.

Conflicts of interest (COI): COIs must be declared at the time of
submission. COIs include employment at the same institution at the
time of submission or in the past three years, collaborations during
the past three years, advisor/advisee relationships, plus family and
close friends. Program chairs, poster chairs, special session chairs
and tutorial chairs are not allowed to submit proposals to their
managed tracks and sessions.

About Tutorials
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We solicit proposals for tutorials at the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Data Science
and Advanced Analytics (DSAA’2020) on systematic lectures related to the theoretical foundations,
algorithms and models, and better/hands-on practice of data science and analytics.

A tutorial proposal should be no more than five pages in length (+1 cover sheet), single
column, and fonts should be 11pt. The recommended duration of a tutorial is half-day (about 2-3 hours).

The tutorial proposal should addrress the following aspects:

* A cover sheet with the presenters’ names, affiliations, addresses, emails, and phones
(not counted in the 5 pages).
* The proposed lecture/tutorial title.
* An abstract about the summary of the tutorial.
* Specific objectives and main field category (statistics/computer science/other).
* A table of contents with enough details to provide a sense of both the scope of material to
be covered and the depth to which it will be covered.
* A short description of the intended audience and any prerequisite knowledge for attendees.
* Each presenter’s name, affiliation, country, email and a short biographical sketch, describing
relevant qualifications and lecturing experience; and identify at least one organizer as the contact person.
* If (part of) the tutorial material or an earlier version of it has been presented elsewhere,
the proposal should indicate those respective events (and dates), and describe how the current
proposal differs from the previous editions (if at all).
* Capacity to present via videoconference.

We will consider all proposals for both introductory, advanced topics and hands-on practice.

Each accepted tutorial will receive one free registration to DSAA’2020.

Presenters will be required to provide comprehensive lecture/tutorial slides and references
and a webpage if possible at least one week before the event, which will then be published
on the DSAA’2020 website and thus be made available to the conference attendees free of charge.
Accepted tutorials will be presented during the main DSAA conference as parallel sessions.
