RDiMOD: 2nd Working Workshop on Research Data Management in Modelling in Computer Science

Description

The demand increases to substantiate the claims made in the scientific processes in the realm of modeling in all areas of computer science. Thus, publications, funding proposals etc. require more often that empirical data (if available) and the related context of experiments and the artifacts in terms of descriptions, software and other tools will be part of the publication / proposed project as well. Infrastructure will be provided to store and make available this kind of research data according to the FAIR – principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) as part of the NFDI - initiative. The consortium NFIDxCS started working to provide systematic and structured processes to obtain the information to build an infrastructure to handle research data. Handling research data is an essential part of many projects. Large research projects must always present a plan for how they will handle research data. The workshop therefore provides a basis for discussing systematic approaches to dealing with research data.

The key questions for research in modeling are manifold and the aim of the workshop is to collect interested individuals who are willing to contribute to handling research data management. Related topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to):

• Nature and profile of scientific processes in modeling research (in computer science)
• Nature of empirical data in modeling research
• Nature of artifacts in modeling research (e.g., formal languages, tools, software)
• Elements of types of related meta data
• Additional factors and characteristics which need to be addressed (e.g. privacy)
• Available repositories
• Community building aspects

The workshop will be part of the "Modellierung 2024" conference (link: https://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/modellierung2024) in Potsdam, Germany.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 08. January 2024

Notification: 05. February 2024

Submission print-ready version: 26. February 2024

Workshop: 12. March 2024, 2–5pm

Submission & Registration

This will be a working workshop. Thus, we request contributions in form of extended abstracts (up to 3 pages), which will be published in the Digital Library of the GI (https://dl.gi.de/):

• Research Talk Proposal (extended abstract of up to 2 pages): Proposals for scientific talks. Eligible are proposal submissions that are based on published or accepted papers from international conferences or journals.
• Research Direction Proposals (extended abstract of up to 3 pages): Proposals for talks that motivate a research direction, outline the research gaps to address, and carve out major challenges. These talks shall serve as a stimulus for discussions as part of a dedicated slot in the workshop program.

The aim (see above) will be to work on a manifesto of research data management in modelling research (in Computer Science). This means this will be the result of the workshop and we envisage that the manifesto with the collection of the extended abstracts will published after the workshop on the website nfdixcs.org.
