DESCRIPTION
Intelligent decision support is known to be crucial in many business
contexts, and it will both gain momentum and become increasingly challenging
through the availability of very large data pools (big data). Sensor
networks, social network activities, RFID deployment, Internet search
histories and retail transactions are just a few examples of sources that
are likely to generate Exabytes or even Zettabytes of data. The data are
characterized by high levels of volume, velocity, variety and variability,
and traditional analytics and techniques may easily fall short of storing,
analyzing and processing these data and, even more so, using them in an
intelligent way for decision making.
Key advantages of successfully managing big data and using them for decision
making and business analytics include the improvement of overall efficiency,
the improvement of speed and accuracy of decision making, the ability to
forecast, the identification of business opportunities and a greater
understanding of citizens’ and customers’ needs. Turning big data into
business and society value will thus become one of the major challenges in
the IS discipline. The close link between data and decisions shall avoid the
processing of irrelevant or redundant information and thus help reduce
information overload while ensuring that all relevant information is
processed.
This track looks for new and innovative methodologies, techniques, theories,
and systems that allow for exploiting big data pools to support decision
makers. We invite both quantitative and analytical contributions.
