We are pleased to announce The 7th Joint International Conference on Data
Sciences and Management of Data (CODS-COMAD) to be held in Bangalore,
India, on January 4-7, 2024 as a fully physical conference.

CODS-COMAD is a premier international conference focusing on scientific
work in Databases, Data Sciences and their applications. Being held for the
7th time as a common conference bringing together the COMAD and the CODS
communities, the conference invites researchers in the field of databases,
data sciences and their applications to submit their original work.
- CALL FOR PAPERS -

RESEARCH TRACK

The research track invites full as well as short papers describing
innovative and original research contributions in the areas of data
science, data management, data mining, machine learning, and artificial
intelligence. Papers can range from theoretical contributions to systems
and algorithms to experimental research and benchmarking. The goal of the
short papers is to provide a venue for innovative ideas such as engineered
solutions, exciting work-in-progress or even negative results that would be
interesting to the broader community. Accepted long papers will get an
opportunity to showcase their work as oral and poster presentation while
short papers will get a poster slot in the conference program.  For more
details visit: https://cods-comad.in/call-for-research-track-papers.php

APPLIED DATA SCIENCE TRACK

The Applied Data Sciences (ADS) track invites both full as well as short
papers describing the design, implementation and results of solutions and
systems for application of data science techniques to real-world problems.
Technical approaches can include data science, data mining, applied machine
learning, testing and governance of data science models and solutions, and
practical MLOps approaches. Accepted papers will be given the opportunity
to present their work in the conference. For more details, visit:

https://cods-comad.in/call-for-applied-data-science-track-papers.php

TUTORIALS

Tutorials at CODS-COMAD offer a platform to showcase state-of-the-art tools
and technologies to support research, development and applications of data
systems, data science, data management and platforms, data-driven
applications, ethics of data science etc. We solicit tutorial proposals on
all topics of interest to the CODS-COMAD conference. For more details,
visit: https://cods-comad.in/call-for-tutorial-proposals.php

DEMO TRACK

The demonstration (demo) track invites submissions from the academia and
the industry where a live or pre-recorded demonstration of the proposed
software system, prototype, conceptual design or library adds significant
value to the dissemination potential of the work.  The demo should be the
result of original innovative work including solving novel technical or
research problems and/or creating novel UI/UX. For more details, visit:
https://cods-comad.in/call-for-demo-track-papers.php

YOUNG RESEARCHERS' SYMPOSIUM

The Young Researchers' Symposium invites submissions from students and
postdoctoral fellows. This is a unique opportunity for young researchers to
have fruitful peer-to-peer discussions and to get feedback from leading
senior researchers about their current research work. The YRS forum this
year also includes a PhD clinic session (see below) where young researchers
will be paired with senior mentors to enable personalised mentoring. For
more details, visit:

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TRACK - Data Science for Inclusivity

Diversity and Inclusion track invites extended abstract for a participatory
workshop where the intent is to increase awareness about the role of data
science to ensure a better future.  As data-driven decision making
influences almost all spheres of our lives, it is imperative to focus on
relevant data science problems and methods that address diversity and
inclusion issues.  For more details, visit:

DATA CHALLENGE PROPOSALS

The conference invites individuals or industry/academic groups to send
their proposals for the CODS-COMAD 2024 Data Challenge. This challenge aims
to be a premier annual Data Sciences & Data Mining competition held as part
of the annual CODS-COMAD conference. The Data Challenge is anticipated to
last for three months. The winners will be announced before the CODS-COMAD
2024 conference and they will receive their awards at the conference award
ceremony.  For more details, visit:
https://cods-comad.in/call-for-data-challenge-proposals.php

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESEARCH AND APPLIED DATA SCIENCE TRACK

Check the link below to help you decide which track to submit your paper
to.  It is the authors’ responsibility to submit their paper into the
appropriate track.  Papers that do not satisfy the requirements (e.g., a
research track paper) might be rejected without a formal review.
