TOPIC OF INTEREST
Business decision-making is always more and more complex high-risk mental
process and not exclusively dependent on a business domain and strictly
professional competences of managers. In real world situations it is
performed under incomplete and uncertain information, not conscious
knowledge/beliefs of decision-makers, and under such socio-cognitive
constrains as, stress, social environment, cultural/social stereotypes,
personal preferences and capabilities of decision-makers. The information
provided by business information systems can be interpreted and used in
different manner, in different moments, and, in consequence, may lead to
serious human errors.
From the above perspective the development and application
of socio-cognitive engineering to the computational modelling and
realization of business intelligence information systems seem to be a
fruitful solution of the 21-th century. BISs should work in information
intensive terra-bites environments.
Socio-cognitive engineering is an engineering of highly complex large
aggregates of intelligence-based systems in the real-world environment.
An application of the basic engineering (goal-oriented),
systemic (unified, integrated, top-down approach) and cognitive
(human-like, mental process modelling) paradigms should enable to copy
with the BIS designers' and end-users' human-computer problems.
The special SCM-BI session brings together researchers and practitioners
from a variety of disciplines who are addressing or facing issues in the
role of human factor for BISs.
From the socio-cognitive RTD perspective, this session
should be interesting for the designers of large-scale computer systems,
sociologists, psychologists, PhD students in management and informatics.
From the concrete end-users perspective, the session
should provide new systemic integrated knowledge to the managers of large
corporations, banks, insurance institutions, emergency managers on
national and local levels, including information and organizational
knowledge managers.
Main topic of interest are related to the computational
modeling and simulation of:
1. Socio-cognitive knowledge and business organizations
2. Motivations, preferences and risk-benefits based cognitive reasoning
3. Individual and collective cognitive decisions
4. Human reasoning errors, meta-reasoning, stress, emotions
5. Business intelligent agents
6. Human and Computer role sharing in BISs.
7. Survivability of BISs, crisis and malicious intrusions
8. Human components in a Virtual Business Enterprise, usability.
