Sommario/riassunto

While methods of artificial intelligence (AI) were until a few years ago exclusively a topic of scientific discussions, today they are increasingly finding their way into products of everyday life. At the same time, the amount of data produced and available is growing due to increasing digitization, the integration of digital measurement and control systems, and automatic exchange between devices (Internet of Things). In the future, the use of business intelligence (BI) and a look into the past will no longer be sufficient for most companies. Instead, business analytics, i.e., predictive and predictive analyses and automated decisions, will be needed to stay competitive in the future. The use of growing amounts of data is a significant challenge and one of the most important areas of data analysis is represented by artificial intelligence methods. This book provides a concise introduction to the essential aspects of using artificial intelligence methods for business analytics, presents machine learning and the most important algorithms in a comprehensible form based on the business analytics technology framework, and shows application scenarios from various industries. In



addition, it provides the Business Analytics Model for Artificial Intelligence, a reference procedure model for structuring BA and AI projects in the company. The Content Business Analytics Artificial Intelligence AI and BA platforms Technology framework and procedure model as reference Case studies on the use of AI-based business analytics The Author Felix Weber is a researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen with a focus on digitalization, artificial intelligence, price, promotion, assortment management, and transformation management. At the Chair of Business Informatics and Integrated Information Systems, he founded the Retail Artificial Intelligence Lab (retAIL). At the same time, he also worked on various jobs as a consultant for SAP systems in retail, Head of Data Science and as Head of ERP. He thus combines current practice with scientific research in this subfield. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Sommario/riassunto

'Seawater' has been substantially updated in this second edition to take account of recent developments in marine science. Sections dealing with difficult physical and chemical concepts have been developed on the basis of feedback from the first edition, making this an ideal learning tool for oceanography students. Chapter 1 summarizes the special properties of water and the role of the oceans in the hydraulic cycle. The distribution of temperature and salinity in the oceans and how they influence water density and movements is then discussed.
