As a field of study, it endeavours to take a</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">systematic and analytic approach in aligning core concepts from management</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">science, organisational science, economics information science, and informatics</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">into an integrated engineering science. </span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">The field of Business Informatics involves a broad spectrum of more specific</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">research domains that focus on important aspect of informatics in the context of</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">organizations, ecosystems and society at large. These domains include: Business</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">Model Innovation, Business Process Engineering, Empowering & Enabling</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">Technologies, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Engineering, Enterprise</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">Modelling, Enterprise & Business Transformation, Method Engineering, Service</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">Innovation & Engineering, Social & Frontier Technologies Some domains take</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">technology as a starting point and position them as enabler/driver of</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">socio-economic activities, while some domains do the reverse, i.e. take</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">socio-economic issues as a starting point and consider ways in which information</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">technology can provide solutions. Key is, in all cases, bridging between</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">information technological aspects and their socio-economical context. </span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">* Goal of the conference series * </span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">The goal of the CBI series of conferences is to bring together existing Business</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">Informatics related research domains and stimulate discussion, synergy and</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">integration of their respective research results and activities. Accordingly,</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">the CBI conferences use a format that enables an in depth discussions among</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">researchers in their respective domains during the conference. In addition, the</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">contributions and discussions among the different domains are channelled towards</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">a series of books dedicated to Advances in Business Informatics.</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">For more information on the CBI series, refer to: </span><a href="http://www.cbi-series.org" style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">www.cbi-series.org</a><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"> </span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">* Proceedings *</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">The proceedings of the CBI series are published by the IEEE as a electronic</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">publication with its own ISBN number.

As such,</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">the CBI conference series operates under the principle that a serious submission</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">deserves a serious review. </span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">* General Co-chairs of CBI 2014 *</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">- Stéphane Marchand-Maillet, University of Geneva, Switzerland</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">- KJ Lin, University of California, Irvine, USA</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">* PC Co-chairs of CBI 2014 *</span><br style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;"><span style="font-family: Menlo-Regular;">- Henderik A.
