14th IEEE International Conference on Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE 2022)
October 19-21, 2022 | Nha Trang, Vietnam

Special Session: Industry Applications of Business Analytics and Operations Research (IABA&OR)


To remain competitive, firms in almost every industry including customer service, marketing, training, pricing, security, manufacturing and operations, logistics and supply chain management will need not only to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) to keep pace with existing peers and digitally native market entrants but also optimization solution development using Operations Research (OR) techniques. On one hand, AI-based approaches enhance performance and greatly reduce workload which depends heavily on historical data, yet many crises rendered near useless in some cases by driving drastic changes in human and market behaviours, making them far from perfect.  On the other hand, optimal solutions are always needed to derive in a reasonable time, especially for large-scale problems in the digital era. In this complex and fast-moving environment, traditional approaches to AI and OR need to be strengthened with emerging techniques including bias, fairness, efficiencies, and instability monitoring and modelling. The topics on the trade-offs between performance, quality of solutions, and interpretability as well as new and alternative data for predictive and risk analytics are also crucial to the sustainability of AI-based and OR approaches for Industry applications. This special session is supported by the Vietnam Operations Research Network (VORN). We focus on, but are not limited to the following topics:

Paper Submission
