Business Informatics

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.
Business Informatics is a fertile ground for research with the potential
for immense and tangible impact. As a field of study, it endeavours 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.

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:

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

Some domains take technology as a starting point and position them as
enabler/driver of socio-economic activities, while some domains do the
reverse, i.e. take socio-economic issues as a starting point and consider
ways in which information technology can provide solutions. Key is, in all
cases, bridging between information technological aspects and their
socio-economical context.

Goal of the conference series

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. In addition, the contributions and discussions among the
different domains are channelled towards a series of books dedicated to
Advances in Business Informatics.

Proceedings

The proceedings of the CBI series are published by the IEEE as a electronic
publication with its own ISBN number. The proceedings are made avalable to
the conference participants by means of a USB stick, while also being
included in the IEEE digital library.

Reviewing

All papers will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers.

The reviewing process of the CBI conference series aims to provide authors
with valuable feedback on their papers, even when a submission is rejected.
As such, the CBI conference series operates under the principle that a
serious submission deserves a serious review.

Topics of papers

The CBI conference focuses on papers that clearly relate business and
informatics, where papers typically will take one of the two as their
primary starting point. Next to that, since BI is very much a practical
field, papers that focus case studies are also explicitly asked for. As
such, authors are encouraged to submit papers covering three tracks:

   1.

   Business with Informatics, which focuses on topics within the societal
   context of informatics, i.e. the "B" in BI. This includes, e.g. Business-IT
   alignment.
   2.

   Informatics for Business, which focuses on IT as an enabler of new
   business and/or societal developments, i.e. the "I" in BI.
   3.

   Case studies, reporting on practical cases of business informatics. For
   such papers, we suggest the authors to follow the STARR structure:
   Situation, Tasks to be done, Activities used to achieve these tasks,
   Results delivered, and a Reflection on the case.
