study in Computer Science, Information Management, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Capital, Investment Analysis, and Corporate Strategy to mention only a few areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The International Conference on Analytics Driven Solutions seeks to establish a platform where both academic and professional approaches to this rapidly expanding field of activity can be explored. Drawing on best
practice in analytics we invite academics, practitioners and research students to come together and share examples, cases, theories and experiences in the field.
<b>ICAS 2015</b> aims to bring researchers and practitioners in analytics from these different disciplines and more together.
