Keeping with the "Building a Better World through Information Systems"
theme of the ICIS conference, the Pre-ICIS SIGDSA workshop seeks
forward-thinking research in the areas of analytics, collaboration and
decision support with special focus on business intelligence and social
media. 

Business Intelligence (BI)/ Decision Support (DS)/ Analytics have become
core to many businesses. The social media scape has come to modify and
redefine not only businesses but also societal behavior and practices.
Although addressed by research in the past few years, these domains are
still evolving. For instance, the explosive growth in big data and social
media analytics requires examination of the impact of these technologies
and applications on business and society. Similarly, traditional
approaches to collaboration and decision support are experiencing
evolution and growth from BI and social media technologies and trends. As
organizations in various sectors formulate IT strategies and investments,
it is imperative to understand how various emerging technologies under the
BI/DS umbrella such as big data, mobile and wireless technologies, cloud
computing, and recent collaboration tools can be used effectively for
decision making in these organizations. 

This research track aims to promote theoretical, design science,
behavioral research and emerging applications in innovative areas of
analytics, collaboration and decision support. We seek comprehensive
completed research and research-in-process (RIP) papers in topics
including but not limited to:
Design and Development of Decision Support Models and Tools, such as

--- Data-driven Decision Support: reporting analytics; data modeling and
database design; data warehousing; OLAP and executive support; big data
and large scale data storage; in-memory analytics; data visualization and
analytics.

--- Knowledge-driven Decision Support: data mining and management expert
systems applications; Application of knowledge management technologies
such as text mining, data mining, rule-based systems, semantic web
technologies to address specific decision support needs; mobile
technologies.

--- Model-driven Decision Support and Predictive Analytics: model
formulation, "what if?" analysis, model versioning and maintenance, model
management in cloud computing and mobile technology environments.

--- Document-driven Decision Support: knowledge coding, analysis, search
and retrieval for decision support for a variety of devices (e.g.,
tablets, smartphones). 

--- Communications-driven and Group Decision Support: impact of computer,
collaboration and communication technologies in supporting group tasks
including decision making; impact of social media on group decision
making; socio-technical gaps in decision support systems.

Decision Outcomes and Performance Evaluation: effects of using decision
technologies, designing for improved decision performance; metrics for
data warehousing, BI, and analytics.

Decision Support User Interface Design: standards, features of decision
support user interface; impact of tablets and smart phones on usage.

Decision Support Applications: Impacts of computerized decision support in
businesses and organizations; real-time decision support; context-aware
decision support; SaaS and BI (cloud computing); social media, Web 2.0 and
BI; inter-organizational BI.
