ICAS 2014 - International Conference on Analytics Driven Solutions

Analytics are now a well established multidimensional field of study and an area of application which has attracted much interest in recent years. It has been successful in many ways and is now a subject of academic study in Computer Science, Information Management, Knowledge Management, Intellectual Capital, Investment Analysis, and Corporate Strategy to mention only a few areas.
ICAS 2014 aims to bring researchers and practitioners in analytics from these different disciplines and more together.
Analytics has evolved from what originally was called management science and operations research to a multidisciplinary and multi-application field that in addition to mathematical modelling and statistical methods, includes data mining, applied modelling, actuary science, technology development, total quality management, Six Sigma, Lean Analysis, constraints theory and various aspects of risk management. The difference now is that there is an increased awareness that individuals are doing analytics work in their own chosen field of study. This is due to many factors, including access to better technology and a realisation of the need for Analytics to be applied to deliver solutions to problems. This has resulted in some stove piping which ICAS is designed to alleviate.
ICAS brings together researchers using Analytics from any field of study as well as practitioners involved in the application of Analytics techniques to share ideas about the research and application of this subject.
Academic research papers are welcomed as well as practitioner case studies. Topics can include, but are not limited to:
Evolution of Analytics and Related Disciplines
Solving-Problems using Analytics
Decision-Making based on Analytics
The new business world: Managing Risk, Knowledge and Performance
Mathematical thinking in Management Beyond Analytics
