Competitive Papers. Full-length competitive papers are invited on, but not limited to, the topic areas listed below. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed through a double-blind peer-review process. We also welcome submitting up to one-page, single-spaced research abstracts (150-300 words). Acceptance of papers and abstracts is subject to final approval by the Track Chairs/Program Chair. Accepted papers and abstracts of authors who have registered for the conference by the close of online registration will be scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting. Presented papers and abstracts will be published in the Proceedings (available on the SWDSI website only). Paper submission acknowledges that the author(s) will register for and attend the conference and personally present the accepted paper at the time specified in the conference program.
Submission Policy. The submission of a paper or abstract means the author certifies it is not copyrighted, has not been accepted for publication in a journal or proceedings, has not been presented at another professional meeting, has not been accepted for presentation at another professional meeting, and is not under review for a journal, proceedings, or presentation at another professional meeting. Concurrent submission and/or presentation of the same or similar paper at another conference is considered a breach of professional ethics. DSI has a code of ethical conduct accessible at https://decisionsciences.org/discover- dsi/governance/code-of-conduct/.
Program Participation. Paper reviewers and session chairs are needed for the program to succeed. Please get in touch with the Program Chair or a Track Chair by September 30th, 2024, if you are interested in serving as session chair or reviewer. Authors who submit papers should expect to be asked to review at least one paper for the conference. Symposia, tutorials, and workshops on current topics are invited. Please get in touch with the Program Chair concerning these proposals.
Distinguished Paper Awards. Distinguished paper awards will be presented at the conference.
Student Papers and Consortium. Up to three cash awards for student papers will be presented. Papers submitted in the student track must be solely student-authored. Look at the SWDSI website for information about the Doctoral Student Consortium.
Special Sessions. Proposals for pre-conference workshops on business analytics, big data using Teradata, SAP, and Tableau, or panel discussions on business intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, classroom technology, ethical finance, and sustainable development are invited.
