[AISWorld] Call for Papers: Information Systems Stream @ OR60 – Submission 31 May 2018

[Crispin Coombs]

Following an extremely successful Information Systems stream in 2017, UKAIS and the Operational Research Society (home of the European Journal of Information Systems) are delighted to offer an Information Systems stream at OR60 in 2018.

********* Information Systems at OR60 *********

Annual Operational Research Society Conference (OR60)
11 – 13 September 2018
Lancaster University, Bailrigg, Lancaster, United Kingdom
http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60.aspx<http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR59/OR59.aspx>

A collaborative stream between the Operational Research Society and the UK Academy for Information Systems.

Call for papers

New developments in Analytics, Big Data, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence rely on digital devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) that are in continuous use and are capable of monitoring the minutiae of our lives. Huge quantities of real time data are generated and processed through pre-determined algorithms that provide the information that many decision makers depend on. However, the quality of the information that is produced by these algorithms is contingent on the quality of the information systems and their data. Therefore, embedding sophisticated analytics efforts and simulation models into the everyday work of the business requires integration with the processes and information systems that support them combined with changing the behavior of the people who perform that work.

Motivated by a symbiotic relationship, this collaborative stream between the Operational Research Society and the UK Academy for Information Systems seeks contributions that examine the relationships between information systems and operational research for the benefit of individuals, organizations and/or wider society.
