Science and technology challenges toward business on demand

Abstract

Facing fierce competition and ever more demanding customers, businesses including government entities need to transform to ones which are more responsive, more real time, and more dynamic. Business transformation not only is a challenging task to business owners, but also provides fertile opportunities for new sciences and technologies to play key enabling roles. The presentation will examine the driving forces of such business transformation and the corresponding challenges posed on technologies and sciences. These challenges range all the way from top level business analytics for how to restructure businesses, to bridging business initiatives to execution and deployment, to dynamic utilization of information and resources, and all the way down to dynamic composition of solutions. The speaker will also attempt to show examples of how such challenges may be met.
