<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI) is the flagship conference of the German-speaking Information Systems community. With its rigorous reviewing policies and acceptance rates of around 25%, the
WI conference has established itself in line with high-profile conferences such as ECIS or ICIS. The conference equally addresses scientists, practitioners and students, who are interested in current developments in the field of information technology as well
as the business models related thereto.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The conference's motto “Smart Enterprise Engineering – digital products and processes for the enterprise of the future” has been chosen to foster discussions about current challenges and research opportunities as well
as the development prospects of our field as a whole. It is intended to connect the Information Systems community with users and corporate decision-makers to enable scientific exchanges on a high level for the mutual benefit. Hence, “Science meets Business”
is an integral part of our motto.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">WI 2015 will be held in the city of Osnabrueck, Germany. Osnabrueck is quite reasonably perceived as an important center of higher education and science on the one hand, and as a commercially attractive location for innovative
medium-sized enterprises with national and international significance on the other. Furthermore, it is a meaningful center for the logistics, food, engineering and healthcare industries. With the Varus Battle and the Peace of Westphalia, two major events of
world-historical importance, took place in the region surrounding Osnabrueck. There are 506,000 people living in the city and its rural district, and time and again studies furnish evidence that these are the happiest people throughout the federal territory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Conference venues are the recently modernized OsnabrueckHalle convention center (e.g., keynotes, panels), the Osnabrueck castle (e.g., welcome reception, lectures) and the university’s seminar building (e.g., lectures,
doctoral consortium). All conference locations are in direct proximity to Osnabrueck’s city center, the historic section of town and some of the hotels. Osnabrueck is a conference location with short distances.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The organization team is proud to announce Stephan Weil, Minister-President of Lower Saxony, as the conference's patron.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Further Information on the area are provided on the conference website:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As in the past years, the WI 2015 provides a forum for the presentation of student research work. Analogically to the papers for the research tracks, master students may submit their works; in case of a positive review,
they are given the possibility to present their first research results at the conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As part of the conference program, there is the possibility to design panels offering a platform for the discussion of current and controversial issues in the field of Information Systems. Tutorials enable the systematical
transfer of basic knowledge in a special field of Information Systems. For both panels and tutorials, a reference to the motto of the WI 2015 is appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
