<h3>Business Informatics</h3>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<h3>
Reviewing</h3>
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. <br>
<h3>
Proceedings</h3>
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.<br>
