[AISWorld] International Conference on Analytics Driven Solutions ICAS 2014 - First Call for Papers

[Sue Nugus]

Hello 

 

This is a first call for papers for the inaugural International
Conference on Analytics Driven Solutions ICAS 2014 which is being held
at the Telfer School Centre of Business Analytics and Performance

University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada on the 29-30 September 2014.

 

Analytics are now a well established multidimensional field of study and
an area of application which has attracted much interest in recent
years. It has been successful in many ways and is now a subject of
academic study in Computer Science, Information Management, Knowledge
Management, Intellectual Capital, Investment Analysis, and Corporate
Strategy to mention only a few areas.

 

ICAS 2014  aims to bring researchers and practitioners in analytics from
these different disciplines and more together.  

 

Analytics has evolved from what originally was called management science
and operations research to a multidisciplinary and multi-application
field that in addition to mathematical modelling and statistical
methods, includes data mining, applied modelling, actuary science,
technology development, total quality management, Six Sigma, Lean
Analysis, constraints theory and various aspects of risk management. The
difference now is that there is an increased awareness that individuals
are doing analytics work in their own chosen field of study. This is due
to many factors, including access to better technology and a realisation
of the need for Analytics to be applied to deliver solutions to
problems. This has resulted in some stove piping which ICAS is designed
to alleviate.

 

ICAS brings together researchers using Analytics from any field of study
as well as practitioners involved in the application of Analytics
techniques to share ideas about the research and application of this
subject.
