      Business Informatics

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. Business Informatics is a fertile ground for research with 
the potential for immense and tangible impact. As a field of study, it 
endeavours to take a systematic and analytic approach in aligning core 
concepts from management science, organisational science, economics 
information science, and informatics into an integrated engineering science.

The CBI is aimed at creating a forum for researchers and practitioners 
from various fields that contribute to the construction, use and 
maintenance of information systems and the organisational context they 
are embedded in. Last but not least, we want to offer a common platform 
for Computer Scientist and Information Systems researchers. The benefits 
of such a cross-disciplinary conception are contrasted by a challenge: 
Authors who submit a paper take the risk to be assessed by standards 
that are different from those they are used to in their own communities. 
The CBI's organisation accounts for this challenge. It comprises various 
domains that represent certain communities. Domains may overlap. They 
are represented by two domain coordinators. To encourage submissions 
both from Computer Science and Information Systems, the domains are, if 
possible, coordinated by representatives of both disciplines. The domain 
coordinators are in charge of supervising the reviewing process and 
forming tracks depending on the collection of accepted papers. Tracks 
are not only intended to represent a certain subject area, but also to 
include papers from different communities.

When submitting a paper, authors are expected to name the domain they 
feel most related to. CBI 2015 includes the domains and topics listed 
next. We also invite contributions to the CBI 2015 Workshops that are 
listed below.

      Reviewing

The reviewing process of the CBI conference series aims to provide 
authors with valuable feedback on their papers, even when a submission 
is rejected. As such, the CBI conference series operates under the 
principle that a serious submission deserves a serious review. All 
papers will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers.


      Proceedings

The proceedings of the CBI series are published by the IEEE as a 
electronic publication with its own ISBN number. The proceedings are 
made available to the conference participants by means of a USB stick, 
while also being included in the IEEE digital library. Depending on 
their topic, outstanding papers are recommended to one of a number of 
renowned journals, the editors of which have agreed to collaborating 
with the CBI.
