Workshop Overview
Data centricity is playing a fundamental role in the definition of new and disruptive business models.
Many organizations in public and private sectors have successfully adopted information technologies
to build huge repositories of data that they can analyze to support decision making and gain competitive
advantage. However, despite the paramount relevance of data-driven technologies, organizations demand
alliance-driven infrastructures capable of supporting controlled data exchange across diverse stakeholders
and transparent data management. Data ecosystems (DEs) are the future of data management since they allow
companies to share data and collaborate in order to get valuable insights. Such benefits can be achieved
only with a proper approach for generating and sharing knowledge. Thus, DEs aim to solve issues like
managing unstructured and heterogeneous data, offering various data-centric services, including query processing and data
analytics, exchanging and integrating data data while preserving personal data privacy, data security,
and organizational data sovereignty. Hence, to implement a data ecosystem manifold challenges regarding,
amongst others, data management, data quality, trust, data exchange, data integration, machine learning
or knowledge-based systems have to be solved and integrated. In this workshop, we welcome innovative
contributions which further the idea of data ecosystems and tackle the challenges which consequently
result from the complexity of data ecosystems.
Paper Submission
We welcome innovative, original, unpublished papers, that fall under the following two categories:
- Regular papers (up to 12 pages, excluding bibliography) that present complete research
results
- Short papers (at least 6 pages, excluding bibliography) on preliminary results that can trigger
