BIS 2011 held in Pozna´n, Poland, was the 14th in a series of international conferences
on business information systems. The BIS conference series has been
recognized by professionals from the very beginning as a forum for the exchange
and dissemination of topical research in the development, implementation, application
and improvement of computer systems for business processes.
The theme of the conference was “Towards Flexible, Personalized and Adaptive
Business Applications.” While the authors observed the need to make processes
more flexible, they also identified risks related to loosing control over
processes. Therefore, the proceedings start with papers on business rules and
business process verification. The necessity for process adaptation may lead to
process variants; hence the session on business process variants and composition.
The part devoted to business processes was summarized with a business
process improvement session. Adaptability of business applications also requires
a change in data models. The biggest challenge is posed by data integration. Several
authors researched the potential of the Web and their findings are included
in the Internet science session. The modern enterprises session was about moving
business applications and enterprises beyond current limitations. Finally, there
were several niche papers that were devoted to specific BIS issues.
Altogether, a set of 25 papers illustrating these trends were selected for presentation
during the main event, grouped into 8 sessions. The Program Committee
consisted of almost 100 members, who carefully evaluated all the submitted
papers. |
