A new focus on analytics and its enabling technologies
· The text is now organized around two main themes:
o Motivations, concepts, methods, and methodologies for different types of analytics (focusing heavily on predictive and prescriptive analytics), and
o New technology trends as the enablers of modern-day analytics such as AI, machine learning, deep learning, robotics, IoT, and smart/robo-collaborative assisting systems.
· The authors have streamlined coverage to optimize the text’s size and content. This includes adding material on cutting-edge analytics, AI trends, and technologies, while eliminating older, less-used material.
· A dedicated website (pearsonhighered.com/sharda) continues to provide links to learning materials and software tutorials, while adding older material from previous editions.
