Decision Support Systems: From Data Analytics to Intuition
Call for papers IFIP WG 8.3 Conference 2022
It gives us great pleasure to invite you to Budapest, Hungary, for the 2022 Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 on Decision Support Systems (DSS). This year’s conference entitled “Decision Support Systems: From Data Analytics to Intuition” is set to highlight the trends in the increasing abundance of data, technological advancements, and the resulting requirement for strong research focus on the decision-making continuum from human-centric decision-making approaches to analytics-based decision-making approaches. Our focus is on how DSS expertise can support decision problems that arise across a diverse range of sectors including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, media, and many others.
On this basis, we aim to continue the success of past IFIP WG 8.3 conferences in supporting the dissemination of quality research, but also to provide a memorable experience through our hospitality and conference facilities in Budapest, Hungary. The 2018 IFIP WG 8.3 conference is organised by the Corvinus University of Budapest. The Corvinus University of Budapest is a leading educational institution in Hungary in the fields of economics, management and social sciences with a hundred-year-old history.
The IFIP WG 8.3 conference committee welcomes both academic and practitioner community contributions on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches that showcase the latest innovations and achievements in decision support and decision making. Submitted contributions that showcase methodological advances and real case studies will be especially welcomed. All contributions will be peer-reviewed and the acceptance of a contribution will be based on the originality of the work, the relevance to the conference theme and its overall quality.
The 2022 Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 will highlight the applications, methods, analytics, stakeholders and impacts of decision making and decision support in society and business. Suggested research topics (presented as conceptual/theoretical, empirical, design science and case-based approaches, amongst others) can include, but are not limited to, the A to Z of applying Data Analytics to Intuition in:
- Decision Support, Methodologies, Systems & Software
- Decision Making, Behaviours, Data & Decision Models
- Business/Data Analytics, Intelligence & Knowledge Discovery

We plan to hold the IFIP WG 8.3 Open Conference 2022 as an in-person event however if a presenting author is unable to attend, we will accommodate a virtual presentation. The keynote presentations will be made available online to registered presenting authors who cannot travel to Budapest.
