Special Session on Bio-Inspired Business Intelligence (BI-BI) at BIC-TA2007

With the increase of global competition, business intelligence becomes more important for the firms. It provides the ability to manage growing volumes of complex data and enables firms to evaluate the data in order to make well informed business decisions. Business intelligence can be regarded as elevating data to information and then to knowledge. In business intelligence applications, bio-inspired computational techniques are the key components and provide powerful supports. The special session on Bio-Inspired Business Intelligence focuses on bio-inspired computational techniques such as artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms and business intelligence applications, such as portfolio optimization, financial condition diagnosis and credit fraud detection.
