Track 31: Management Support Systems / Business Intelligence
Management Support Systems (MSS) aim at a comprehensive support of all levels of decisionmakers by information technology. Typical components of application are Data Warehouses, multidimensional and analytical reporting (OLAP), Scorecard and Decision Support Systems (DSS). Actually, the focus of research is on Business Intelligence (BI), i.e. sophisticated methodological approaches for model based analyses and decision support. A prominent success factor for MSS and BI is the intensity of integration both between MSS/BI-components themselves and with the Non-BI-world, e.g. ERP-systems. Aside well-known aspects of integration like internal and external or quanti-tative and qualitative information, research and practice actually focus on the integration of methods, process chains and phases of decisionmaking along organizational hierarchies. This track aims at discussing innovative concepts and applications, which can contribute to this multidimensional level of MSS/BI-integration.
Possible topics:
- integrative MSS/BI-architectures, e.g. for Data Warehousing
- integrative MSS/BI-applications, e.g. cooperative, agent based DSS
- Performance Measurement vs. Performance Management
- methods for decision support, e.g. simulation, OR/MS
- application of concepts and methods in Artificial Intelligence, e.g. Neural Nets, Case-Based Reasoning, Data Mining
- application of concepts and methods in Knowledge Management
- strategical and IT-governance aspects of MSS/BI
- life-cycle aspects of MSS/BI, e.g. profitability and operational performance, including open source platforms
