Encourage your talented students to Participate in
IISE DAIS Student Mobile/Web App Competition
2025 IISE Annual Conference & Expo
May 31- June 3, 2025, Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Colleagues,

Please encourage your talented students to participate in this exciting competition. The Data Analytics and Information Systems (DAIS) Division of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) announces the IISE DAIS Mobile/Web App Competition to recognize creativity and excellence among its members and motivate them to translate or commercialize their research and learning outcomes to accelerate economic and societal benefits.

Scope of Mobile/Web App
Mobile/web apps that are based on concepts, principles, techniques, or applications related to the field of industrial and systems engineering will be accepted. Mobile/web apps that can effectively demonstrate those in the subfields related to data analytics and information systems are encouraged.
Eligibility of Participants

  *   A team can consist of a maximum of five members (1~4 student members and 1~2 faculty advisors).
  *   Student members can be undergraduate or graduate students from higher education institutes in industrial & systems engineering (or related fields).
  *   Student members should be enrolled at the time of submission of the proposal.
  *   At least one of the students must be a member of DAIS.
Competition Process

  *   Proposal Submission: Teams must submit a proposal (no more than 2 pages) describing their mobile/web app via email with the subject "DAIS Mobile/Web App Competition" to the chairs of the competition steering committee by Jan. 3, 2025. The proposal should include: (1) a clear statement outlining the need for the mobile/web app and its intended goals, (2) a detailed list of the app's features, and (3) an identification of the target markets and communities.
  *   Mobile/web app submission: Teams must submit (1) a demonstration video of their mobile/web app, (2) a document that describes their solution and relevant technology (1000 world or less) (3) a software design document (no more than 10 pages), (4) a document that states the real-world technology translation/deployment plan and the anticipated impacts to the target markets and communities (no more than 2 pages), via email to the chairs of the competition steering committee by Feb. 28, 2025. The competition steering committee will evaluate the submissions and select a maximum of four teams as finalists by Mar. 14, 2025.
  *   Oral presentation: The finalist teams will attend the IISE Annual Conference & Expo 2025 to present their mobile/web app. The presentation will include (1) a demonstration of the prototype; (2) technical details of the mobile/web app, and (3) a business plan or community integration plan (including technology implementation and pilot study) to further justify the translation potential for their mobile/web app.
Evaluation Process
Each team will be evaluated by the following criteria:

  *   Real-world Impact
  *   Technology originality
  *   Software development details of their mobile/web app
  *   Translation (implementation, integration, and business) plan for their mobile/web app
  *   Demonstration of the prototype
Recognition

  *   Recognition at the DAIS Town Hall Meeting at Annual Conference
  *   Recognition in ISE magazine
  *   Recognition on DAIS webpage<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iise.org%2Fdetails.aspx%3Fid%3D872&data=05%7C02%7Ciefac.list%40mailman.clemson.edu%7C926694b570fe48526f3608dd17c7378f%7C0c9bf8f6ccad4b87818d49026938aa97%7C0%7C0%7C638692866587632388%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7xoePYSDoPrF3YfhUY%2F8HpRSqKYa%2BVSYcDEq3LTMIkE%3D&reserved=0> and in the newsletter
