CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Data Science for Macro-Modeling DSMM2019 dsmmworkshop.org Held in conjunction with ACM SIGMOD 2019 *** DEADLINES *** Submission deadline: March 29, 2019 Notification to authors: April 26, 2019 Camera ready copy: May 31, 2019 Registration deadline: TBA Workshop: Sunday June 30, 2019 DSMM 2019 will explore the challenges of macro-modeling with financial and economic datasets. The workshop will also showcase the Financial Entity Identification and Information Integration (FEIII) Challenge. https://ir.nist.gov/dsfin The advent of Big Data infrastructures and analytical tools can support information fusion and macro-modeling with diverse datasets, and can potentially lead to the exploration of complex financial and economic ecosystems. Although integrating datasets may pose technical and policy/privacy challenges, the potential benefits are immense. Financial big data and FINTECH applications are in the vanguard of activities around the deployment of Open Knowledge Networks. http://ichs.ucsf.edu/open-knowledge-network/ The financial world is a closely interlinked Web of financial entities and networks, supply chains and ecosystems. Analysts, regulators and researchers must address the challenges of monitoring, integrating, and analyzing at scale. Technical challenges include entity identification; entity classification; learning relationships among entities. The benefits of addressing these challenges may result in improved tools for regulators to monitor financial systems or to set fiscal policy. Additional benefits may include fundamentally new designs of market mechanisms, new ways to reach consumers and to exploit the wisdom of the crowds. We expect attendees with an interest in information integration, data mining, knowledge representation, network and visual analytics, stream data processing, etc. Past proceedings are available here: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3220547 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3077240 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2951894 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2630729 SUBMISSION FORMAT We will accept the following types of papers in the SIGMOD format: * Regular papers that are a maximum of 6 pages will have a presentation slot. * Extended abstracts of up to 2 pages will have a poster and short presentation.
