Hi everyone,
Please find information below about an event affiliated with ACM Special Interest Group on
Management of Data (SIGMOD).
They specifically seek to bring together complementary perspectives from “DB and CS
Education communities, and adjacent communities, e.g., in Statistics Education.” The
DataEd workshop is a dedicated venue for these communities to come together, for
presentation and discussion of data management systems education experiences and
research.
The event is June 23rd in Seattle WA (website:
https://dataedinitiative.github.io/DataEd23/ )
I’ll add that although it’s called a “workshop” in the announcement, the event is akin to
an education-oriented satellite conference of the larger ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference in the
vernacular of ASA/CAUSE/IASE statistics conferences.
I’ve cc’ed a shared Gmail inbox for the event organizers if you would like to follow up
after reviewing the event information below and on the website.
All the best,
Matt

DataEd 2023
International workshop on data systems education
In conjunction with SIGMOD/PODS 2023.
Friday June 23, Seattle, WA, USA.

*** Focus and purpose of DataEd 2023 ***
Data systems education is foundational in a variety of programs such as computer science,
data science, and information systems and science. And, indeed, data management concepts
are both timely and timeless in our increasingly data-driven world. A continual focus
since the 1970’s in the database research community is the place in curricula and best
practices for teaching data systems concepts. This important conversation is particularly
lively in recent years given the rise of data science. There is also a long tradition in
the Computer Science Education research community on investigations into how students
learn data systems concepts. With the increasing focus on data in the past decade, there
is renewed focus on data systems in education research.
Both the DB and CS Education communities, and adjacent communities, e.g., in Statistics
Education, have complementary perspectives and experiences to share with each other.
There is much to be gained by bringing the communities more closely together: to share
findings, to cross-pollinate perspectives and methods, and to shed light on opportunities
for mutual progress in data systems education. The DataEd workshop is a dedicated venue
for these communities to come together, for presentation and discussion of data management
systems education experiences and research.
This is the second edition of DataEd, building on the success of DataEd 2022 at
SIGMOD/PODS 2022. The proceedings of the first edition can be found at
https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/3531072
*** Submissions ***
Contributions are welcome in the broad area of data systems education: the teaching and
learning of databases/data management/data systems topics, ranging across the whole field,
from classical topics (such as physical design, query optimization, data modeling, data
integration, visual analytics, and query languages) to contemporary topics (such as ML
& AI for data management systems, data management for ML & AI, very large data
science applications/pipelines, and responsible data management).
The workshop solicits three kinds of submissions: Research and Research Proposal Papers,
Experience Reports, and Artefact Papers. Contributions of all types should be up to 5
pages in length (excluding references, which have no page limit) in the standard ACM
Proceedings Format, with shorter submissions (2 pages in length) being encouraged.
Paper submissions are due by the end of March 1, 2023 (AoE). Pending approval, all papers
will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Further details can be found on the DataEd
2023 website.
*** Format of the Workshop ***
DataEd 2023 will be a full day workshop held on Friday 23 June consisting of keynote
talks, paper presentations & discussion, and a poster social session. We are
thrilled to already announce our first keynote speaker Sourav Bhowmick (Nanyang
Technological University)!
