CFP : 8th Conference on Advances in Decisional Systems (ASD 2014)
May 29-31, 2014, Hammamet, Tunisia
http://asd-conf.net/en/


Objective

The importance given by both the scientific community and industry to decision support systems (DSS) is increasingly high, as evidenced by the number of theoretical works and market tools. Indeed, Decision-making systems enable the company to make decisions at different hierarchical levels by analyzing the current and past to predict the future.

In terms of research, the scientific events of decision making systems are dedicated to consolidate the efforts of researchers on the one hand, and meeting the aspirations of professionals on the other hand. The Conference on Advances in Decisional Systems (ASD) follows this perspective. Seven years have already passed since the first edition of ASD which started as a workshop. The success of the last seven editions encourages us to further continue with the same enthusiasm and ambitions by launching the call for an eighth edition of ASD as a conference.

ASD allows researchers who have already participated in previous editions to be in the same context by exhibiting their latest scientific work. The conference is also aimed at professionals involved or interested in the decision-making, by their pragmatic vision, contributing the expression of new requirements or enhancing existing solutions. It is also an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss their work.
