This plenary is intending to focus on actual applications of data analytics in financial services. Areas where data analytics is adding value and the areas where data analytics is expected to add value in the near future. We are also looking for some commentary on separating the hype from the reality. (Examples of this could include: What was the original aim vs what was actually possible vs what was achieved.)
