<div style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">Business Informatics is the scientific discipline targeting information processes and related phenomena in their socio-economical business context, including companies, organizations, administrations and society in general. Business Informatics is a fertile ground for research with the potential for immense and tangible impact. As a field of study, it endeavors to take a systematic and analytic approach in aligning core concepts from management science, organisational science, economics information science, and informatics into an integrated engineering science. </span></div>
<br><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial"></span><div style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">The field of Business Informatics involves a broad spectrum of more specific research domains that focus on important aspect of informatics in the context of organizations, ecosystems and society at large. These domains include:</span></div>
<div style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">Business Model Innovation, Business Process Engineering, Empowering & Enabling Technologies, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Engineering, Enterprise Modelling, Enterprise & Business Transformation, Method Engineering, Service Innovation & Engineering, Social & Frontier Technologies. </span></div>
<div style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">Some domains take technology as a starting point and position them as enabler/driver of socio-economic activities, while some domains do the reverse. Key is, however, bridging between information technological aspects and their socio-economical context.</span></div>

<div style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:Arial">The goal of the CBI series of conferences is to bring together existing Business Informatics related research domains and stimulate discussion, synergy and integration of their respective research results and activities. Accordingly, the CBI conferences use a format that enables an in depth discussions among researchers in their respective domains during the conference. </span></div>
