Scope

With quintillions of data bytes created daily, analytics can play a significant role in improving the implementation, management and delivery of information technology services. Approaches such as statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning are promising mechanisms to harness this immense stream of service and application data to meet the needs of an organization. The main goal of AnServApp is to present research and work-in- progress results in the area of data analytics, machine learning and cognitive science for service and application management.
