Proceedings:
The mission of the BIR conference series is to foster highly inter-disciplinary research in the field of business informatics, particularly research that bridges across management and engineering aspects and that strikes a balance between scientific rigor and practical relevance and applicability.
The BIR 2015 conference is the fourteenth in the conference series. This year the conference is hosted by the Institute of Computer Science of University of Tartu.
In addition to a research, work-in-progress and industry paper sessions, BIR'2015 will feature a doctoral consortium and workshops aimed at attracting work-in-progress research in focused emerging topic areas.
THEME
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an increasingly important role in organizations, inter-organizational networks, society and individuals' daily life. Business activities are dependent on software systems operating in dynamic and often unpredictably changing business environments. In this setting, the theme for BIR 2015 conference is "making business information systems interoperable and adaptive in highly interconnected and changing contexts".
The conference solicits papers on all aspects of business informatics research with a special emphasis on the theme of interoperability and adaptation. The conference accepts original contributions of the following types: full research papers, research-in-progress papers, industrial papers (see the paper submission instructions).
