Special Session
"From Business Intelligence to Artificial Business Intelligence: new
challenges for Intelligent Systems"
http://www.gsi.dec.usc.es/bi2abi/
to be organized at the
9th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and
Applications (ISDA 2009)
30 November -- 2 December, 2009, Pisa, Italy
http://cig.iet.unipi.it/isda09
CALL FOR PAPERS
-AIMS AND SCOPE------------
Business Intelligence (BI) usually refers to technologies or
applications that are used in an organization for gathering data,
information and knowledge about its operations aiming to support human
decision makers in the organization by means of reports, indicators and
data charts. Recently, a number AI based approaches and techniques (such
as Knowledge-Based systems, computational intelligence, ontologies,...)
have been described as useful for improving BI systems by adding more
intelligent-oriented capabilities for data analysis, information
acquisition or extraction and knowledge formalisation and discovery.
The aim of the session is to bring together developers, users and
researchers both in the fields of BI and AI in order to discuss on how
BI may evolve into ABI (Artificial Business Intelligence) thus producing
new systems, tools and applications that are enriched with high-level
capabilities like adaption to changing environments, intelligent
management of large volumes of data, self-learning knowledge
representation and reasoning or other ones that help to move BI
applications from its traditional reporting functionalities to the new
and more challenging decision making arena.
--TOPICS OF INTEREST------------
Papers dealing with models, applications or tools in the field of
business information systems, business process management and, in
general, business intelligence where AI techniques play a significant role
A non exhaustive list of the topics of interest follows:
- Knowledge-based business information systems, Intelligent Decission Support
Systems in business
- Predictive, flexible, adaptive AI-based approaches and models for Busines
Intelligence Systems
- Computational Intelligence applications and models for business information
systems. Intelligent Data Analysis techniques and applications to BI
- Interoperability and integration between information systems,
Service-Oriented Architectures and Intelligent Agents for BI
- Learning models or knowledge mining techniques for information extraction and
processing in business/industrial information systems
- Middleware for implementing AI techniques in information systems
- Models for collaboration in business information systems. Social Networks
techniques and applications to business
- Semantic-based approaches, Ontologies and other AI-related modelling
techniques applied to workflows, business information systems or bussiness
processes management
- AI-based knowledge discovery and process mining techniques applied to business
- Any other artificial intelligence model for business and industrial
information systems
- AI-based sytems for BI (e..g. planning, scheduling, forecasting,
optimization, manufacturing) and business services (financial services,
marketing, sales Management, human resources management)
- AI-based approaches or systems in: Customer Relationship Management,
Knowledge Management, Quality Management
- And prototypes or demonstrations in any of the below mentioned fields.
Also position papers on the role that AI-based techniques currently play
or will play as the future evolution of BI technologies (challenges,
trends), applications and tools are welcome
