THEME OF THE CONFERENCE
Towards flexible, personalized and adaptive business applications


There are trends in many disciplines related to  business  information
systems that share a common goal  –  making systems more responsive to
users’ needs.  Having  addressed  basic functional  requirements,  the
designers and developers are looking for further enhancements of their
systems. This is necessary if new markets are to be reached.  The more
users  we  intend  to  support,  the  lower  computing  skills  may be
expected.  For example,  in  the business  process  management  domain
solutions  have  been  sought  to  alleviate  the business-IT gap;  in
information  management,   ways  to  organize  information  have  been
simplified; in semantic web automatic linking of data is a Holy Grail.
However, simplification does not mean homogenization because a typical
user  does  not exist anymore.  As a consequence, applications in many
areas  suffer  from changing environments,  changing data, or changing
people.  Computer systems not only should be adaptive and customizable
to follow users’  way  of thinking  but also consider their individual
preferences  and  background  knowledge,  their  context  or  globally
available  data.  No  less  important  are business related aspects of
these  solutions.  This  common  denominator  of  all  applications in
the scope of interest of BIS  leads us to the formulation of the theme
for  the  next  BIS  conference:  “Towards flexible,  personalized and
adaptive business applications”.

It  is  our  pleasure  to  invite  you to submit your work to BIS 2011
conference.  It will take place in  June 2011  in  Poznan  and will be
organized by Poznan University of Economics.

BIS   2011   International   Conference   invites   researchers    and
practitioners to submit papers that contribute the results of research
in  Business  Information  Systems  as well as  papers  that report on
industrial IT projects.  The Program Committee particularly encourages
presentations  of practical  papers on  industrial  experience  or  on
the validation of prototype implementations.
