CALL FOR PAPERS
===============================================================================
We welcome submissions for the 19th International Conference on
Perspectives in
Business Informatics Research (BIR), taking place in Vienna,
Austria.
THEME: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN BUSINESS INFORMATICS
Artificial Intelligence (AI) drastically changes the way we employ
technology,
design information systems and allocate human labor in the context
of digital
transformations. AI also shifts perspectives in Business
Informatics Research,
which has been traditionally concerned with how different forms
and degrees of
automation can support or evolve enterprise information systems.
The two
fundamental pillars of Artificial Intelligence - machine learning
and knowledge
engineering - converge towards new streamlining possibilities,
with
transformative results in areas such as business process
automation, human-
computer interaction, context-aware or capability-aware enterprise
information
systems.
From its very inception the BIR conference focused on opening
perspectives and
stimulating new roadmaps for Business Informatics, considering
both fundamental
research and key application areas (e.g., Industry 4.0, Smart
cities, e-
Government). Large scale AI adoption brings disruptions that must
be met by
Business Informatics research with novel methods and tools, to
ensure a triple-
win for enterprises, employees and the societal environment in
which they act.

TYPES OF PAPERS
- Research papers: describing original research contributions
(theoretical,
methodological or conceptual).
- Exploratory papers: introducing new ideas and directions for
research by
analysing the current state of the art, identifying the
gaps that
need to addressed, and introducing an approach as a
means to bridge
them.
- Practice papers: discussing problems or challenges that
organisations
(private or public) face, relate them to the wider
domain and
provide useful insights to practitioners from similar
organisations
and contexts.
Accepted papers will be published in a volume of the Springer’s
LNBIP series,
for which general author instructions are available here: https://
www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
(check below the Submission Guidelines for links to specific
templates and
additional details). Best papers will be invited to a special
issue of the
Journal of Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly
(CSIMQ).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Accepted papers will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in
Business
Information Processing (LNBIP, indexed in ISI Proceedings, DBLP,
EI and
Scopus).
Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use
their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the
preparation of
their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs
in their
papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper,
acting on behalf
of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-
Publish form (this will be made available to authors of accepted
papers). The
corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the
corresponding
author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to
Springer, changes
relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
All submissions must be unpublished and not be under review
elsewhere. Page
limit for all papers is 15 pages. A preliminary abstract
submission is
expected one week before the paper submission deadline. Inclusion
in the
proceedings volume is conditioned by having at least one author
registration
per paper and having the paper presented during the conference.
Initial
submissions should be made in PDF format using the EasyChair
submission page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bir20200.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP AND DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
BIR 2020 traditionally hosts diverse thematic workshops and a
Doctoral
Consortium which stimulate lively debates on specific topics and
provide
valuable improvement suggestions to early stage scientific ideas.
The BIR workshops and the BIR Doctoral Consortium will publish a
separate
joint proceedings volume in the CEUR-WS series. Submission links
and
formatting guidelines will be posted by chairs after the list of
approved
workshops is announced.
