THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

Advanced Computational Gateway to Business Information Management





The pervasive vision of this year conference is laid for opening

gateway to knowledge discovery for effective decision making and

managing business processes by developing information management

frameworks closely aligned with enterprise strategy and objectives.

We encourage comprehensive look at the concept of data governance as

it joins cross-functional teams for business knowledge alignment

affecting the company or organization as a whole.



The aim of the conference is to identify trends and problems fostering

new development of business information systems by applying advanced

computational approaches and business intelligence. We expect that

ideas and high quality publications presented by the researchers can

shape future research directions both in theoretical and applied

domains of managing business knowledge.



BIS 2012 continues the tradition of collaboration among multiple

scientific areas, therefore we are looking forward for original

research papers covering the topics detailed below.
