********* 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
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.
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.
