1TH International Workshop on Enterprise Decision-Making Applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques (WEDMAIT 2020)
August 20th & 21th, 2020
CEIPA Business School
Sabaneta, Antioqu’a, Colombia

- Call for Papers -

Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques cover the automation of cognitive and physical tasks. These techniques helps people perform tasks faster and better and make better decisions. It enables the automation of decision making without human intervention. AI techniques can enhance automation thus reducing intensive human labor and tedious tasks. There are many more ways in which Artificial Intelligence is making a difference for enterprises in marketing decision-making, Customer Relationship Management, Recommender Systems, Problem Solving, Opinion Mining, Augmented Analytics, to mention but a few. 

In marketing, it is necessary to understand customer needs and desires and aligning products to those needs and desires. A handle on changing customer behavior is vital to make the best marketing decisions.  AI simulation and modeling techniques provide reliable insight into the consumersÕ persona. This will help predict consumersÕ behavior. Through real-time data gathering, trend analysis and forecasting, an AI system can help businesses make insightful marketing decisions. Furthermore, organizations can identify a consumerÕs lifetime value with the help of AIÕs buyer persona modeling. It can help organizations manage multiple inputs. During a complex decision-making process, AI can efficiently manage and control different factors at the same point in time. It can source and process large amounts of data within minutes while providing valuable business-based insights. While we humans face decision fatigue, algorithms do not have such limitations, which make AI-based decisions faster and better. Also, AI techniques has provided businesses invaluable insight about consumers, which helps them enhance their communication with the consumers. It also helps retailers predict product demand and respond to it quickly. To that end, opinion mining helps businesses understand why people feel the way they feel. Most often a single customerÕs concerns might be common among others. When sufficient opinions are gathered and analyzed correctly, the information gleaned will help organizations gauge and predict the concerns of the silent majority.  AI has improved this mining process through automation, which is quicker and more reliable, helping organizations in making critical business decisions.

In e-commerce, an AI system learns a consumerÕs preference based on ÔexplicitÕ or ÔimplicitÕ feedbacks.  This kind of systems are called recommender systems. A recommender system can provide information helping the organization to reduce bounce rate and craft better customer-specific targeted content. Wise business decisions are made when business executives and decision-makers have reliable data and recommendations. AI not only improves the performance of both the individual members of the team but also the competitive edge of the business.

The aim of this Workshop is to investigate and disseminate trends among innovative and high-quality research regarding the implementation of conceptual frameworks, strategies, techniques, methodologies, informatics platforms and models about Enterprise Decision-Making Applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques. 

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

* Expert systems for Optimization Process
* Application of Knowledge-Based Methods
* Software Tools for Knowledge-Based Systems construction
* Artificial Intelligence Applying In Supply Chain
* Artificial Intelligence and Block Chain Technology in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
