SCOPE

Business Informatics is the scientific discipline targeting information 
processes and related phenomena in their socio-economical business 
context, including companies, organisations, administrations and society 
in general. As a field of study, it endeavours to take a systematic and 
analytic approach in adopting a multi-disciplinary orientation that 
draws theories and practices from the fields of management science, 
organisational science, computer science, systems engineering, 
information systems, information management, social science, and 
economics information science. The IEEE CBI 2017 is aimed at creating a 
forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields that contribute 
to the construction, use and maintenance of information systems and the 
organisational context in which they are embedded. To this end, CBI 2017 
welcomes submissions from the diverse spectrum of fields that underpin 
the field of ‘business informatics’. Submissions may fall into one of 
three categories:

     Research papers describing original research contributions 
(theoretical, methodological or conceptual).
     Practice papers discussing problems or challenges that 
organisations (private or public) face, relate them to the wider domain 
and provide useful insights to practitioners from similar organisations 
and contexts.
     Visionary papers introducing new ideas and directions for research 
by analysing the current state of the art, identifying the gaps and 
issues that need to addressed, introducing an approach as a potential 
means to bridge the gaps.

Best papers will be invited for a special issue of the Journal of 
Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly (CSIMQ) 
(https://csimq-journals.rtu.lv).
Workshops and a Doctoral Consortium will complement the main conference.

The proceedings of the CBI series are published by the IEEE as an 
electronic publication with its own ISBN number. You will need to submit 
your paper in the IEEE 2-column format 
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

Recommended paper length is up to 10 pages. Only PDF files are accepted. 
There is a limit of 250 words for the abstract. In the submission form, 
please select all topics from one or more tracks that relate with your 
paper. Important note: since the review process is double-blind, please 
make sure that your names and affiliations are not listed in the paper 
submitted for review.

By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of 
them will register to the conference and present the paper. It is 
expected that at least one author will register for each accepted paper. 
Only papers that have been presented by their authors during the 
conference will be published as part of the IEEE Proceedings.
