New decision aids are being explored to help achieve : business goals and support business strategies. Artificial intelligence : (AI) is among the forefront of such innovations. A major trend in recent : DSS research is the usage of AI based concepts and tools. AI tools and : concepts lend themselves to the complexity of problems in the business : domains. Decision processes and consequently outcomes in the business : domain are characterized by varying dimensions of unstructuredness: : information uncertainty, competing models, underlying assumptions etc. AI : paradigms based on both symbolic as well as connectionist approaches are : being applied in novel business applications resulting in dramatic : improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of decisions. Further, : core IS areas such as group decision processes, information flow, : technology diffusion, end-user learning and even process re-engineering : are being understood better with AI concepts and models. The minitrack : will be a forum for interaction and sharing of ideas among researchers : interested in AI based decision support applications in the business : domain.<br> : <br> : </font><font size=2><i>Possible Topics</i> may include the : following:<br> : Classification Models, Forecasting, Decision Processes, Education and : Delivery systems, Classifier Systems, Case Based Reasoning, Genetic : Algorithms, Neural Systems, Hybrid Systems, Garbage Cans, Physical Symbol : Hypothesis, Uncertainty Models (prospect theory) ,Cognitive Models of : end-user based on representation, learning and adaptation such as SOAR, : ACT- STAR, Frame theory, Semantic networks , Artificial Adaptive Agents, : Spatial and Temporal Reasoning Critical Success Factors ,Chaos Theory : ,Fuzzy Logic, Experimental Evaluations, Analysis of domain in which AI : based models are appropriate, Architectural Descriptions, Simulations, : Theoretical Foundations, Philosophical Foundations (role of AI in DSS : research) Development and Studying the impact of AI tools & usage : experiences with AI based systems (could include technical, economic, : social, behavioral impact).<br> : </font><font size=3> <br> : </font><font size=2><u>Mini Track Co-Chairs<br> : <br> : </u>Balaji Rajagopalan<br> : 5520 Department of Accounting,<br> : Illinois State University<br> : Normal, IL 61790.<br> : E-mail: </font><font size=2 color="#0000FF"><u>brajag@ilstu.edu<br> : </font></u><font size=2 color="#000000">Phone: (309)438-7786<br> : Fax: (309)438-8431<br> : <br> : Ravi Krovi<br> : Department of Management<br> : College of Business Administration<br> : The University of Akron<br> : 259 South Broadway<br> : Akron, OH 44325<br> : E-mail: </font><font size=2 color="#0000FF"><u>krovi@uakron.edu<br> : </font></u><font face="New York" size=3 color="#000000">Phone: (330) : 972-8108<br> : <br> : </font>Akhilesh Chandra<br> : School of Business & Economics, Merrick Hall<br> : North Carolina A&T State University<br> : 1601 East Market Street<br> : Greensboro, NC 27411.<br> : Phone: (336)334-7656 (ext.6012)<br> : E-mail: <font face="New York"><u>chandraa@ncat.edu<br> : <br> : </font>Submission Guidelines<br> : </u><i>All submissions and inquiries are to be made to (One of Co-Chairs : or all Co-Chairs at e-mail address(es)). </i>Submissions must be in : English, and should represent the original work of the authors.
