BIR 2018
The conference focuses on making businesses, people and systems 
interoperable and adaptive in highly interconnected and changing 
contexts. Specifically, the conference also welcomes contributions 
that concern evaluating and demonstrating all aspects of benefits 
of information systems in the light of their costs.

THEME: BUSINESS RESILIENCE – ORGANIZATIONAL AND INFORMATION SYSTEM 
RESILIENCE IN CONGRUENCE
Cyber Resilience refers to an entity’s (e.g. society, organization, 
and information system) ability to continuously deliver the intended 
outcome despite adverse cyber events. Today, cyber security is 
overly focused on protection and information security controls, 
overlooking response and recovery and developing resilient-by-design
systems. And if so the focus is heavily on information systems which
leave the security of the business systems separated thus preventing
from reaching the state of business resilience. In addition, the 
management of cyber security is often handled on one level only 
without a holistic approach to risk communication and risk. 
Moreover, both systems and organizations have often been designed 
without built-in mechanisms that can steer adjustments according to 
quickly changing application situations. To this end, our field 
should strengthen the focus on addressing resilience of businesses
 and their information systems in an integrated manner, which would
 allow establishing the concept of business resilience

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