About the Volumes
These two volumes address the application of computer science, data mining, optimization and data-driven techniques to problems in the areas of business, marketing, consumer and social sciences. They aim to be an authoritative reference for these techniques in an area of science that is in essence a 'greenfield site'. An emphasis is on new personalised approaches.
Our aim is to present ideas that are thought-provoking and will motivate the readers to try more powerful analytic methods as well as introducing exciting new application domains to the 'hard-core' computer scientist.
The intended audience for these volumes includes highly advanced undergraduate students and mainly post-graduate level students and academic researchers. We also hope to generate interest from industry crowd with experience in computer and data science. Hence, contributions using 'real-life' datasets will be highly considered as these would be of great interest to an industry audience.
The list of topics is just a guideline that reflects the current development of the field. Not that any contribution using advanced analytics methods with a business/consumer focus will also be considered for acceptance in this volume.
Springer template guidelines will be followed for all contributions. We highly encourage contributors to prepare their work in Latex using the Author Springer template.
Please contact the Editors regarding any questions about the two volume series.
