Presentation 

During the last decade, the disciplines of Data Mining and Operations Research have increasingly come closer to each other. As a consequence the terms “Business Analytics” and “Intelligent Optimization” are used to refer to the applications of quantitative and analytical techniques, seeking to improve existing methods or to solve complex problems in areas such as finance and marketing, as well as in a wide range of other industry challenges. 

The conference on Business Analytics in Finance and Industry, BAFI 2014 is aimed to bring together researchers and practitioners to present their recent developments and to identify future challenges in this novel combination of research areas. For this purpose, we are looking for original contributions on topics related to Business Analytics and Intelligent Optimization in finance and industry (see below for a non-exhaustive list of conference topics). The official conference language is English. 

The conference BAFI 2014 is divided into two activities: 

On January 6, 2014, a special workshop dedicated to recent methodological developments in Business Analytics and Intelligent Optimization (BAIO 2014) will be held.  On January 7 and 8, 2014 the conference will focus on Business Analytics in Finance and Industry.
