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 for a
special issue of the Journal of Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling
Quarterly (CSIMQ) (https://csimq-journals.rtu.lv [4]).
Workshops and a
Doctoral Consortium will complement the main conference.
