12th International Conference on Business Information Systems BIS 2009

Time: 27-29 April 2009
Venue: Poznan, Poland

The BIS conference is by now a well-respected event joining international researchers to discuss the wide range of the development, implementation, application and improvement of business applications and systems. It is addressed to the scientific community, people involved in the development of business computer applications, consultants helping to properly implement computer technology and applications in the industry.

Main theme of the Conference in 2009 is "Information Systems for Agile Organizations". The theme reflects recent tendencies in making organizations more responsive for external conditions. On the one hand, improved methods for better data and information management are used. On the other hand, flexible information systems are developed. In both areas semantic technologies are heavily exploited. They allow to bridge various dimensions: personal, social, mobile, organizational and content-related. They relate internal data and external information. Finally, when applied to area of business processes, they permit to extend collaboration between organizations. All of these phenomena move forward the development of flexible business information systems.
