Special Issue on STREAM LEARNING
Deadline: 15 December 2021
Introduction
In recent years, machine learning from streaming data (called Stream Learning) has enjoyed tremendous growth and exhibited a wealth of development at both the conceptual and application levels. Stream Learning is highly visible in both the machine learning and data science fields and become a new hot direction in recent years. Research developments in Stream Learning include learning under concept drift detection (whether a drift occurs), understanding (where, when, and how a drift occurs), and adaptation (to actively or passively update models). Recently we have seen several new successful developments in Stream Learning such as massive stream learning algorithms; incremental and online learning for streaming data; and streaming data-based decision-making methods. These developments have demonstrated how Stream Learning technologies can contribute to the implementation of machine learning capability in dynamic systems. We have also witnessed compelling evidence of successful investigations on the use of Stream Learning to support business real-time prediction and decision making.
In light of these observations, it is instructive, vital, and timely to offer a unified view of the current trends and form a broad forum for the fundamental and applied research as well as the practical development of Stream Learning for improving machine learning, data science and practical decision support systems of business. This special issue aims at reporting the progress in fundamental principles; practical methodologies; efficient implementations; and applications of Stream Learning methods and related applications. The special issue also welcomes contributions in relation to data streams, incremental learning and reinforcement learning in data streaming situations.

*Call for Papers *
The rapid development in Big Data information science and technology in general and in growth complexity and volume of data in particular has introduced new challenges for the research community. Many sources produce data continuously. Examples include the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, Urban Computing, sensor networks, wireless networks, radio frequency identification, health-care devices and information systems, customer click streams, telephone records, multimedia data, scientific data, sets of retail chain transactions, etc. These sources are called data streams. A data stream is an ordered sequence of instances that can be read only once or a small number of times using limited computing and storage capabilities. These sources of data are characterized by being open-ended, flowing at high-speed, and generated by non stationary distributions.
*TOPICS OF INTEREST *
We are looking for original, unpublished work related to algorithms, methods and applications on big data streams and large scale machine learning. Topics include (but are not restricted) to:
* Real-Time Analytics
* Big Data Mining
* Data Stream Models
* Large Scale Machine Learning
* Languages for Stream Query
* Continuous Queries
* Clustering from Data Streams
* Decision Trees from Data Streams

*PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES *
Papers should be submitted in PDF. Authors are invited to submit original papers in all topics related to data streams. All papers should be submitted in ACM 2-column camera ready format for publication in the symposium proceedings. ACM SAC follows a double blind review process. Consequently, the author(s) name(s) and address(s) must NOT appear in the body of the submitted paper, and self-references should be in the third person. This is to facilitate double blind review required by ACM. All submitted papers must include the paper identification number provided by the eCMS system when the paper is first registered. The number must appear on the front page, above the title of the paper. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. The maximum number of pages allowed for the final papers is 8 pages. There is a set of templates to support the required paper format for a number of document preparation systems at www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2022/authorkit.html
Important notice:
1. Please submit your contribution via SAC 2022 Webpage: www.softconf.com/m/sac2022/ 2. Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper, poster, or SRC abstract in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for including the work in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers, posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
If you encounter any problems with your submission, please contact the Program Coordinator.
