      SCOPE

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. As a field of study, it endeavours to take a systematic and 
analytic approach in adopting a multi-disciplinary orientation that 
draws theories and practices from the fields of management science, 
organisational science, computer science, systems engineering, 
information systems, information management, social science, and 
economics information science. The IEEE CBI 2017 is aimed at creating a 
forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields that contribute 
to the construction, use and maintenance of information systems and the 
organisational context in which they are embedded. To this end, CBI 2017 
welcomes submissions from the diverse spectrum of fields that underpin 
the field of ‘business informatics’. Submissions may fall into one of 
three categories:

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

Best papers will be invited to a fast-track of the Springer journal 
Business and Information Systems Engineering (BISE) 
(http://www.bise-journal.com/), as well as to a special issue of the 
Journal of Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly (CSIMQ) 
(https://csimq-journals.rtu.lv).
