Session Scope
The goal of this workshop is to deal with new proposals in the decision support system (DSS) field related with the integration of the decision-making process concerning Supply Chain Management (SCM) with special focus on demand management and operations planning in a dynamic and distributed environment.
DSS is a computer-based information system, which assists manager in their decision-making process. New requirements needs new DSS proposals to include improvements on the data management, decision models, interaction among systems and people in global decision process.
Special focus will be made over complex decisions where:
1) the DSS proposes different solutions using different decision models or
2) the DSS include a sequential decision process where sub-DSS outputs are inputs for other sub-DSS
Session Topics
Decision Support System is a multidisciplinary research area that can be applied in several sectors.
This special session will be focused to new proposals in the DSS field dealing with:
T.1.1. The main components in DSS
- Data: Models, Aggregation/Disaggregation, ETL , Data-Driven DSS
- Decision Models: Mathematical Programming, Solvers, Rules, Expert Systems
- Processes: Decision sequence, Interaction steps
- User Interfaces: Interface design, Novel interaction techniques, usability
T.1.2. Complex decisions solved using different models and sequential DSS where DSS outputs are inputs for other DSS
T.1.3. Application in Supply Chain Management using a period-driven or an event-driven approach
T.1.4. DSS Experiences in the industry
T.1.5. DSS in Education

Session Scope :
Data mining (DM) and knowledge management (KM) are two important research areas, but with different emphasis. Research and practice in these two areas have been largely conducted in parallel. Although both data mining and knowledge management have been active areas in research and practice, there is still a lack of idea exchange between these two camps. The first goal of this workshop is to bridge this gap. It has been well-known that data mining algorithms can discover hidden patterns from large-scale databases. However, the results of data mining may not be regarded as “knowledge”. To elicit explicit knowledge from the hidden patterns of data mining, which is useful to the end-users, the theory of human knowledge management should be adopted. Such a "special" knowledge, different from traditional knowledge since it can be stored, transformed, disseminated and expanded, is called intelligent knowledge. The second goal of this workshop is to discuss the research issues beyond data mining, foundation of intelligent knowledge management, and the process of identifying intelligent knowledge.
Session Topics
The workshop welcomes both high-quality academic (theoretical or empirical) and practical papers in the broad ranges of data mining and intelligent knowledge management related topics including, but not limited to the following:
- Data mining interpretation
- Data mining and knowledge transfer
- Data analysis and knowledge management
- Data mining and risk management
- Data warehousing in knowledge management
- Evaluations of hidden patterns
- Optimization based data mining for knowledge management
- Practical issues of data mining
- Integration of data mining and knowledge management
- Intelligent knowledge algorithms
- Man-machine interaction in data mining
- Intelligent knowledge management
