Session‘s details and aim

We are delighted to invite contributions to the Invited Session - Digital Architecture and Decision Management - within the 10th International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies, which is co-located under the KES Smart Digital Futures 2018 umbrella.

Digitization profoundly changes our society and economy and thus the way we live, work, learn, communicate, and collaborate. The interaction of digitally integrated customers, products and services provides new ways of value creation. Digitization is the creation of digital architecture and the use of decision management for enabling innovative business models and transforming existing business models and processes.

The session –Digital Architecture and Decision Management – covers fundamental and practical aspects to support the digital transformation of products, services and processes. This disruptive change interacts with all information processes and systems, which are important business enablers for digitization since years. Digital architectures enable the intense interaction with customers and products. The customer is closely integrated with business processes and interacts like a co-worker by using implicit touch points, which are provided by mobility and wearable systems and the Internet of Things.
The data collected by these interactions allow to automate decisions impacting the customer. Digitized products and services have dynamically extendable capabilities by accessing external services. Using them they are able to autonomously make decisions hitherto reserved to human beings.

Decision Management considers decisions as first- class citizens in management equal to
service and processes. It supervises and controls the identification, development, deployment, operation and optimization of decisions and their components. Decision components may be data sources, decision models and decision foundation. By handling decisions separately from processes and services, decision management takes into account that decisions, processes and services evolve at different speeds.
Furthermore, decision management increases reuse and consistency of decisions by enabling centralized repositories that provide decisions to services and processes.

Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss both technological and business aspects of the digital transformation and to have a deep look into the flexible digital architecture and decision management mechanisms in the context of technologies, platforms, services, and applications, fostering customer experience
with disruptive transformation and continuous improvement.
