Addressing Societal Challenges through Analytics

We are living in a world in which technology and data are rapidly transforming organizations, industries and societies. Information systems and data analytics are providing unprecedented opportunities to not only transform business processes and increase productivity but also tackle various social and economic problems. In this conference we particularly encourage submissions that address the world’s most urgent and challenging problems through analytics and other IT-based solutions. A few examples include technology-driven solutions to design smart markets in energy, using big data to design better urban transportation systems, social media analytics for health, technology driven agility and responsiveness for businesses, technology platforms for smart cities, and open-data initiatives as mechanisms to address important problems in policy.

All submissions must be sent in electronic form using the WITS 2016 submission system.
