Organizations are today becoming more and more dependent on their information systems and other kinds of IT-based support systems to realize their business strategies, building value networks with partners, and managing their resources effectively. But how can organizations ensure that their IT investments are well aligned with the needs of the business? A number of frameworks and methods have been designed to help managers in aligning business and IT. Such alignment is a critical early stage activity to understand how information systems contribute to business strategy and to set directions for the development and maintenance processes that follow. Recently, novel methods and techniques based on conceptual and enterprise modeling have been proposed to support mutual alignment between business needs and IT solutions. BUSITAL09 is a forum for practitioners and researchers that want to explore the benefits, challenges and solutions of business and IT alignment.

Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Frameworks for modeling business strategy: Techniques and methods for capturing and understanding those components of business strategy that profoundly impact information systems landscapes. * Systems methodologies and frameworks for guiding information system design using relevant information in business strategy models/definitions, including traceability issues. * Models, methods, and tools for indicating, analyzing, and measuring alignment, including business activity monitoring * Solutions for guiding information systems evolution and adaptation using relevant information in business strategy models/definitions, including IT governance. * Case studies and empirical reports on the benefits and costs of alignment. * Business/IT alignment in organizational networks, including co-creation of value through global networks * Alignment issues in Service-Oriented analysis and design
