CFP 2025 IEEE CSR Workshop on Synthetic Data Generation for a Cyber-Physical World (SDGCP) (Submission deadline: April 14, 2025)

IEEE CSR SDG Workshop 2025 IEEE CSR Workshop on Synthetic Data Generation for a Cyber-Physical World (SDGCP) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 - 6 August 2025 �� Chania �� Crete, Grece �� In-person event �� Workshop: https://www.ieee-csr.org/sdgcp/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee-…> Submission portal: https://www.ieee-csr.org/registration/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ieee-…> Synthetic datasets that … [View More]reflect the statistical properties of authentic data allow to share research insights and findings without compromising privacy or proprietary interests. This approach not only promotes transparency and reproducibility in research but also encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the main areas utilizing generated synthetic data. Privacy issues arise once the dataset contains sensitive features playing a role in training AI systems. Because data collection is expensive and time-consuming, given some shortcomings such as low volume of data, non-compliance with regulations, and bias, we not only may achieve biased and low-performance models but also violate privacy principles. Synthetic data generation can facilitate analysis, the need for data augmentation, or prevent data breaches in highly sensitive domains, rather than weak anonymization approaches. Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Variational Autoencoders (VAE), and Agent-based modeling (ABM) are among the most common synthetic data generation algorithms. However, it is critical to recognize the limitations of synthetic data generation, particularly in capturing the intricacies and interdependencies present in real-world systems. While synthetic datasets can mimic statistical distributions and patterns, they may struggle to replicate the nuanced relationships and contextual nuances inherent in complex phenomena. By leveraging advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational modeling, researchers can strive to bridge the gap between synthetic and authentic data, unlocking new opportunities for insight and innovation in fields as diverse as healthcare, finance, social sciences, and beyond. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the IEEE CSR 2025 conference as a physical event, during August 4�C6, 2025. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following: * Generating synthetic data compliance with regulations * Privacy preserving in healthcare data * Algorithms for debiasing dataset (in the preprocessing phase of ML modeling) * Algorithms for debiasing the ML models�� results * Uncovering and mitigating synthetic data algorithmic bias * Assurance and certification of the dataset and ML models * Synergy of ABM with ML focusing on the rule extraction * Domain dependent/independent synthetic data generation challenges and opportunities * FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse) and ethical synthetic data generation * Explainability and interpretability aspects in synthetic data generation ## Important Dates * Paper submission deadline: April 14, 2025 * Authors�� notification: May 5, 2025 * Camera-ready submission: May 26, 2025 * Registration deadline (authors): May 26, 2025 * Workshop dates: August 4�C6, 2025 ## Workshop Chairs * Samira Maghool, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Faiza Allah Bukhsh, University of Twente (NL) ## Organizing Commitee * Faiza Allah Bukhsh, University of Twente (NL) * Paolo Caravolo, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University (AE) * Samira Maghool, Universita degli Studi di Milano (IT) ## Technical Program Committee * Juba Agoun, Universite Lumiere Lyon 2 (FR) * Marco Angelini, University of Rome ��La Sapienza�� (IT) * Valerio Bellandi, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Rob Bemthuis, University of Twente (NL) * Nicola Bena, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Filippo Berto, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Paolo Caravolo, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Elena Casiraghi, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Marco Cremonini, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) * Maya Daneva, University of Twente (NL) * Mohammadreza Fani Sani, Microsoft (US) * Sanja Lazarova-Molnar, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (DE) * Rabia Maqsood, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (PK) * Afshin Montakhab, Shiraz University (AE) * Azzam Mourad, Lebanese American University (LB) * Ehsan Ullah Munir, Comsats University (PK) * Anastasija Nikiforova, University of Tartu (EE) * Alessandro Palma, University of Rome ��La Sapienza�� (IT) * Mirela Riveni, University of Groningen (NL) * Robert Wrembel, Poznan University of Technology (PL) ## Publicity Chair * Filippo Berto, Universit�� degli Studi di Milano (IT) Please don't hesitate to ask further questions.

The conference will be structured into a main research track on big data and data science and complemented with tutorials/demos on specific solutions and prototypes developed by industries, research centers and universities, and thematic workshops on specific verticals of big data and data science. The conference will also feature selected distinguished keynote speeches and some panels. ITADATA2025 aims to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data Science in Italy and abroad, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed systems are operating. The ability to timely manage and analyze large amounts of data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data themselves increasingly become critical requirements and are at the heart of modern business processes. In this context, data science, as the foundation of today's data-driven society, plays the role of developing and defining all the technologies needed to support construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing complexity. ITADATA2025 covers theoretical and practical research and application pertaining to data, from data governance to data processing and analysis. It also covers research and application in related domains where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, edge and IoT, intelligent and high-performance computing, blockchain, security and privacy, assurance and certification. It finally considers and analyzes the evolution of big data and data science at EU and national level, trying to map current activities in the context of data spaces and relevant organizations/associations such as, for instance, the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), as well as policy development, laws, and regulations. ***IMPORTANT DATES*** Research Paper/Presentation submissions due: June 1st, 2025 Final notification to authors: July 20th, 2025 Camera-ready paper and registration due: August 3rd, 2025 Tutorial/Demo/Workshop/Panel proposal due: May 15th, 2025 Final notification to proposers: June 3rd, 2025 ***CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS*** ITADATA2025 welcomes original papers from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of Big Data and data science including data governance, data processing, data analysis, data reporting, data protection, as well as experimental studies and lessons learned.
