This course aims at enabling participants to develop the skills necessary to write a scientific paper in the field of Analytics for eServices and Operations. This includes gaining expertise about current topics as well as the ability to conduct required steps such as a literature review, choosing appropriate structure and layout, and citing scientific references correctly. In particular, this seminar will focus on “Recent challenges and advances of E-Fulfillment”. We will discuss what e-fulfillment is from the perspectives of demand and supply chain management. Basic models and recent approaches to e-fulfillment will be discussed using recent research articles. You will work in groups of 2-3 students on a seminar topic in e-fulfillment. You will also have to present and discuss your work.
