Dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to a call for papers for the BUSITAL
Workshop collocated with 26th International Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE), 16-20 June 2014 in
Thessaloniki/Greece (http://delab.csd.auth.gr/caise2014/)
Accepted papers will be published in the CAiSE 2014 Workshop Proceedings,
in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP,

For eight consecutive years the BUSITAL workshop gathered a community of
researchers and practitioners around the topics on Business/IT alignment.
The final goal of the workshop is to bring together a large community of
practitioners and researchers in the field of enterprise and system
engineering, services engineering, management, and architecture. The
audience of this workshop includes (but is not limited to) architects in
indifferent domains (i.e. enterprise, system, process, application, and
data), CIO, ICT project leaders, as well as researchers who can both
contribute to and benefit from studying the business-it relationships in
the organizations.
