DPBA 2015 - International Workshop on Data-driven and Predictive Business Analytics (DPBA 2015)

The workshop aims at discussing the research and open issues related to the data-driven business analytic methodologies and techniques in the context of enterprise Big Data.
The contemporary enterprise features the production, integration, analysis, and utilization of Big Data, which have the 4-V characteristics: volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. While the Big data hold the promise of revolutionizing our understanding and decision-making methods towards enterprises and society, uncovering the value behind Big Data requires developing innovative decision making approaches, especially predictive approaches in various aspects, such as process configurations, resource allocations, scheduling optimizations, and collaboration patterns negotiation. Models and methods from multiple disciplines, such as data integration, data mining, statistics, business intelligence, and information systems apply to the topic. However, the impact of Big Data to business decision and corresponding analytic approaches remain an open issue.
This workshop will offer a valuable opportunity for participants to exchange opinions, share experiences, advance ideas, report recent progress, and disseminate research results on the topics related to Data-driven and predictive business analytics.
