For the past thirty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world.

SAC 2022 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing,

The goal of DS track is to promote a meeting point and a discussion forum for researchers interested in any aspect of Data Stream processing.

Motivation

The rapid growth in Big Data information science and technology in general and the complexity and volume of data in particular have introduced new challenges for the research community. Many sources produce data continuously. Examples include the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, Urban Computing, sensor networks, wireless networks, radio frequency identification (RFID), customer click streams, telephone records, multimedia data, scientific data, sets of retail chain transactions, etc. These sources are called data streams. A data stream is an ordered sequence of instances that can be read only once or a small number of times using limited computing and storage capabilities. These sources of data are characterized by being open-ended, flowing at high-speed, and generated by non stationary distributions.

Data streams are increasingly important in the research community, as new algorithms are needed to process this streaming data in reasonable time. Many researchers coming from different areas (data mining, machine learning, OLAP, databases, etc.) are designing new approaches or adapting some of the traditional algorithms to data streams. The number of researchers in this field also is growing considerably, and in many conferences data streams are becoming a consolidated topic (ICML, KDD, IJCAI, ICDM, SAC, ECML, etc).

Topics

We are looking for original, unpublished work related to algorithms, methods and applications on big data streams and large scale machine learning. Topics include (but are not restricted) to:

• Real-Time Analytics
• Data Stream Models
• Big Data Mining
• Large Scale Machine Learning
• Languages for Stream Query
• Continuous Queries
• Clustering from Data Streams
• Decision Trees from Data Streams
• Association Rules from Data Streams
• Decision Rules from Data Streams
• Bayesian networks from Data Streams
• Feature Selection from Data Streams
• Visualization Techniques for Data Streams
• Incremental on-line Learning Algorithms
• Single-Pass Algorithms
• Temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal data mining
• Scalable Algorithms
• Real-Time and Real-World Applications using Stream data
• Distributed Stream Mining
• Social Network Stream Mining
• Urban Computing, Smart Cities
• Internet of Things (IoT)

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all topics related to data streams. All papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera ready format for publication in the symposium proceedings.

ACM SAC follows a double blind review process. Consequently, the author(s) name(s) and address(s) must NOT appear in the body of the submitted paper, and self-references should be in the third person. This is to facilitate double blind review required by ACM. All submitted papers must include the paper identification number provided by the eCMS system when the paper is first registered. The number must appear on the front page, above the title of the paper.

The paper length is 8 pages + 2 pages at an extra charge (max of 10 pages). There is a set of templates to support the required paper format for a number of document preparation systems at https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/authorkit.html
Submission guidelines must be strictly followed. A paper cannot be submitted to more than one track. Papers should be submitted in PDF using the SAC 2022 Webpage.
The maximum number of pages allowed for the final papers is 8 pages (about 5000 words), with the option (at additional expense) to add two (2) more pages. Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2022 proceedings.
Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of papers, posters, or SRC abstracts in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the work. This is a requirement for the presented work to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers, posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
