Data-Driven Decision Support & Revenue Management

The need for automated decision-making is steadily increasing. The goal is to derive methods and data-driven models for automated decision support for practical applications in uncertain and changing environments. Solving problems in practical applications requires bringing together data management, analytics, optimization, and computer science.

Our research group Data-Driven Decision Support focuses on automated decision-making in the areas of Operations Management and beyond using quantitative methods of operations research (cf. modelling, simulation, and optimization) and data science (cf. AI/ML). Our research has been published in over 75 peer-reviewed publications including renowned OR Journals (EJOR, JEDC, IJPE, IJPR, COR, DGAA, ITOR, JRPM, JIMS, JCLP), distinguished data science conferences (KDD, IJCAI, RECSYS, SDM, ICDM, PMLR, ECML, ICDE), and leading computer science venues (BISE, VLDB, EDBT, DAPD, CIKM, EDOC, SSDBM). Rainer serves as a reviewer for over 60 Journals in the areas of operations management, AI/ML, and information systems.

Keywords: Data-Driven Decision Support, Business Analytics, Risk & Robustness, Markov Decision Processes, Reinforcement Learning, Revenue Management & Pricing, Inventory Management, Resource Allocation, Recommerce, Sustainability, Circular Economy
