Deadline Feb. 1st http://bis.ue.poznan.pl/bis2018/call-for-papers/ **** CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== 21st International Conference on Business Information Systems BIS 2018 Berlin, Germany July 18-20, 2018 http://bis.ue.poznan.pl/bis2018/ http://bisconf.info ====================================================================== Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2018 (Proceedings in Springer's LNBIP series) ====================================================================== THEME OF THE CONFERENCE ====================================================================== Digital Transformation - an imperative for today's business markets Nowadays, digital technologies transform the way the business is made, the companies grow, the links between people are created and evolve, as well as many other domains. The digital transformation means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in various domains. In general, Digital Transformation can be defined as an integration of digital technology into all areas of business, resulting in fundamental changes to how businesses operate and how they deliver value to their customers. The BIS Conference traditionally has focused on actual trends of development, implementation and application of business information systems in different domains. Thus, to continue this tradition, the upcoming edition of BIS will focus on the Digital Transformation that affects both individual businesses and whole domains, such as e.g. administration, communication, art, medicine, healthcare, finance and science. The Digital Transformation is described as 'the total and overall societal effect of digitalization'. Digitization has enabled the process of digitalization, which resulted in transformation of existing business models, socio-economic structures, legal and policy measures, organizational patterns, cultural barriers, etc. There are a number of reasons why businesses undergo Digital Transformation. The main argument is that they simply have to. With the evolving business markets, companies that want to succeed must understand how to apply technology to support strategical decisions and realise the visions. However, there are many ways how it may be achieved. Thus, the BIS 2018 Conference wants to drive the discussion of Digital Transformation related to problems, challenges and opportunities for today???s business markets. We invite researchers and business practitioners to present and publish their latest research results. Our goal is to enable sharing theoretical and practical knowledge of ongoing Digital Transformation activities and thus to inspire researchers to think outside the box. We hope that the inspirations from the Conference will lead to further innovations being the next stage of Digital Transformation. ====================================================================== CONFERENCE TOPICS ====================================================================== Topics include (but are not limited to): Big and Smart Data and Artifical Intelligence * data science and digital transformation * smart machines, artifical intelligence, and cognitive computing in business systems and applications * business intelligence * linked (open) data * knowledge representation and reasoning * big data analytics * real-time big data analysis and streaming analytics / stream reasoning * standards, data models, and business models for big & smart data * corporate semantic web and semantic web applications * digital curation technologies * data and information quality * information extraction and information retrieval * sentiment analysis, emotion mining * data integration from Web information sources * modelling and describing evolving data sources * information gathering for supporting knowledge-intensive enterprises Business and Enterprise Modelling * requirements for enterprise modelling * modelling of enterprise architecture * quality of enterprise models * change management * enterprise modelling theory * enterprise modelling practice, case studies, and action research * decision modelling * governance, risk, and compliance modelling * standards, conceptualizations, notations, and ontologies * business design patterns * business models and (open) innovation ICT Project Management * tools and techniques * stakeholder and user management * effort, time, and cost estimation * resources management * risk management * quality management * global and virtual development teams Process Management * (semantic) business process management * event-driven busines process management * adaptive and dynamic processes * supply chain processes * scientific workflows in a business context * ERP implementations * integration of data and processes * collaborative BPM * value chain design * business rules, decision models, and decision management * complex event processing Smart Infrastructures * cloud computing * fog and edge computing * security and privacy * (micro) services architectures * sensor systems * software-defined infrastructures * smart ledger / blockchain * agent systems and collective intelligence * internet of things and cyber-physical systems * industry 4.0 Social Media and Web-based Business Information Systems * social CRM * social user experience * social media in business * social media and privacy * social media analytics * social network analytics * social computing * social sentimental analysis * communities and crowedsourcing * social semantic web and pragmatic web * web/social web/distributed search * personalized search and recommendation * user interfaces and human computer interaction Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences * smart cities * smart manufacturing * e-business * e-health * e-government * business related e-science * mobile applications * industry specific applications * future directions and interdiciplinary relations ====================================================================== SUBMISSION ====================================================================== BIS 2018 proceedings are planned to be published as a volume in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series by Springer Verlag. http://www.springer.com/computer?SGWID=0-146-6-450209-0 Information for LNBIP authors may be found at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0 Submission: http://bis.ue.poznan.pl/bis2018/submission-guidelines/ * language of publication: English * paper must not exceed 12 LNBIP pages (including abstract and references)* * please include a 100-word abstract at the beginning of the paper, which clearly presents the achievement or contribution of the paper * please include 4-7 keywords best describing your paper
