The call for papers is reported below. The deadline is December 1st, 2024.

This data revolution provides plenty of opportunities but introduces new gaps and challenges. Data sharing and value extraction happen at an unprecedented scale, with novel requirements on authorization and authentication, data governance, privacy, trust management, latency, to name but a few.

This SI aims to cover the most recent advances in the area of big data and data science towards the creation of virtual (data) spaces, where data can be pooled and shared to maximize utility and trustworthiness while guaranteeing regulatory and legal compliance. These virtual spaces are emerging as a main solution for new-generation data-based applications, but several challenges (target of this SI) remain open from both research and application standpoints. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Frameworks, architectures, and platforms for data governance
  • Data modeling and trusted data sharing
  • Digital/data sovereignty
  • Big data and AI for social good and beyond
  • Data governance in high-performance computing
  • Ethical data management and analysis
  • Novel applications and case studies of data management and governance
