The Science of Making Profitable Decisions

Presentation by Prof. Zbigniew Michalewicz, School of Computer Science, U of A

In the modern information era, managers must recognize the competitive opportunities represented by decision-support tools. Adaptive Business Intelligence systems are a new family of systems that combine prediction and optimization techniques to assist decision makers in complex, rapidly changing environments. These systems address the fundamental questions: What is likely to happen in the future? And what is the best course of action? In this talk, Professor Zbigniew Michalewicz from the School of Computer Science introduces the concepts behind Adaptive Business Intelligence, which aims to provide significant cost savings and revenue increases for businesses. A few real-world examples will be shown and discussed.
