Paper Length & Formatting. The length of each paper submitted to the Research tracks should be no more than seven (7) pages of technical content plus additional pages solely for references and should be formatted following the standard 2-column U.S. letter style of the IEEE Conference template. For further information and instructions, see the IEEE Proceedings Author Guidelines.
Reproducibility & Supplementary
The advancement of data science and analytics depends heavily on reproducibility. We strongly recommend that the authors release their code and data to the public. Authors can provide an optional two (2) page supplement at the end of their submitted paper (it needs to be in the same PDF file after the paper's references). This supplement can only be used to include (i) information necessary for reproducing the experimental results reported in the paper (e.g., various algorithmic and model parameters and configurations, hyper-parameter search spaces, details related to dataset filtering and train/test splits, software versions, detailed hardware configuration, etc.), and (ii) any data, pseudo-code and proofs that due to space limitations, could not be included in the main manuscript.
Authorship
The list of authors at the time of submission is final and cannot be changed.
Dual Submissions
DSAA is an archival publication venue; submissions that have been previously published, accepted, or are currently under-review at peer-review publication venues (i.e., journals, conferences, workshops with published proceedings, etc.) are not permitted. DSAA has a strict no dual submission policy.
Conflicts of Interest (COI)
COIs must be declared at the time of submission in the submission system. COIs include employment at the same institution at the time of submission or in the past three years, collaborations during the past three years, advisor/advisee relationships, plus family and close friends. Program chairs are not allowed to submit any papers. Track chairs and special session chairs and other function chairs are not allowed to make submissions to their own tracks.
Attendance
At least one author of each accepted paper must register in full and attend the conference to present the paper. No-show papers will be removed from the IEEE Xplore proceedings.
AI-Generated Text
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.
Special Session Review Process
Reviewing the submissions in each special session is coordinated by the organizers, but fully aligned to the main conference review process: All papers will be double-blind reviewed. Author names and affiliations must not appear in the submissions, and bibliographic references must be adjusted to preserve author anonymity. Submissions failing to comply with formatting or anonymity will be rejected without review. Because of the double-blind review process, non-anonymous papers that have been issued as technical reports or similar cannot be considered for DSAA'2026. An exception applies to arXiv papers that were published in arXiv at least one month prior to the DSAA'2026 submission deadline, provided that the submitted paper's title and abstract differ from the arXiv version.
- Organizers select program committee (PC) members.
- PC members may serve across multiple sessions.
- Papers are assigned to PC members for review.
- Organizers recommend acceptance/rejection, validated by Special Session Chairs.
- Final decisions are made by DSAA Program Chairs.
