[AISWorld] CFP: 2012 Pre-ICIS BI Congress 3 - Research Track

[Lakshmi Iyer]

Dear Colleagues,


If you conduct research in decision support systems, business intelligence,
or analytics, please consider contributing to the research track in the
upcoming pre-ICIS BI Congress 3 (
http://www2.commerce.virginia.edu/bic3/index.asp).

Keeping with the "Innovation" theme of the ICIS conference, the BI Congress
3 seeks forward-thinking *research *and *research-in-progress* in the area
of Big Data <http://www2.commerce.virginia.edu/bic3/rtrack.asp#> Analytics.

Business Intelligence (BI)/ Decision Support (DSS)/ Analytics are core to
many businesses. In recent years, traditional approaches to these concepts
have been questioned as companies embrace voluminous, high-velocity data in
a variety of formats (i.e., multi-structured). How can organizations
innovate through this Big Data? And, how can academic research further
innovative thinking in this area? This research
track<http://www2.commerce.virginia.edu/bic3/rtrack.asp#>aims to
promote theoretical, design science, behavioral research and
emerging applications in innovative areas of BI/DSS/Analytics. *We seek
comprehensive research and research-in-process* in topics including but not
limited to:
