THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

Towards flexible, personalized and adaptive business applications





There are trends in many disciplines related to business information

systems that share a common goal – making systems more responsive to
users’ needs. Having addressed basic functional requirements, the
designers and developers are looking for further enhancements of their
systems. This is necessary if new markets are to be reached. The more
users we intend to support, the lower computing skills may be
expected. For example, in the business process management domain
solutions have been sought to alleviate the business-IT gap; in
information management, ways to organize information have been
simplified; in semantic web automatic linking of data is a Holy Grail.
However, simplification does not mean homogenization because a typical
user does not exist anymore. As a consequence, applications in many
areas suffer from changing environments, changing data, or changing
people. Computer systems not only should be adaptive and customizable
to follow users’ way of thinking but also consider their individual
preferences and background knowledge, their context or globally
available data. No less important are business related aspects of
these solutions. This common denominator of all applications in
the scope of interest of BIS leads us to the formulation of the theme
for the next BIS conference: “Towards flexible, personalized and
adaptive business applications”.



It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to BIS 2011
conference. It will take place in June 2011 in Poznan and will be
organized by Poznan University of Economics.



BIS 2011 International Conference invites researchers and
practitioners to submit papers that contribute the results of research
in Business Information Systems as well as papers that report on
industrial IT projects. The Program Committee particularly encourages
presentations of practical papers on industrial experience or on
the validation of prototype implementations.
