Symposium on Next Generation Advanced Analytics
The confluence of an increasingly complex world, the vast and rapid proliferation of data, and the urgent need to stay ahead of the competition has sharpened the focus on using analytics within organizations. The popular literature is abuzz with news of how advanced analytics is helping organizations in many industries use information to their advantage. It is helping meet such objectives as growth and competitive differentiation, engage in business performance management, and evaluate choices regarding products and pricing, and make operations more efficient and effective. More importantly, avanced or predictive analytics is helping organizations anticipate change by uncovering unexpected associations and patterns. Not only does predictive analytics enable organizations to gain insight to make informed decisions, it enables them to proactively anticipate future issues and react to them.
This symposium brings together faculty students, practitioners, and companies to discuss the contemporary opportunities and challenges in applications, curriculum development, and research in predictive analytics.
