BIS2012

THEME OF THE CONFERENCE Advanced Computational Gateway to Business Information Management

The pervasive  vision of  this year  conference  is  laid for opening gateway to  knowledge discovery  for  effective  decision  making  and managing  business  processes  by  developing  information  management frameworks  closely  aligned  with enterprise strategy and objectives.

We encourage comprehensive  look at the concept of data governance as it  joins  cross-functional  teams  for  business  knowledge alignment affecting the company or organization as a whole.

The aim of the conference is to identify trends and problems fostering new development of business  information systems by applying advanced computational  approaches and  business  intelligence. We expect that ideas and  high quality publications presented by the researchers can shape  future  research  directions  both  in  theoretical and applied domains of managing business knowledge.

BIS 2012 continues  the  tradition  of collaboration  among  multiple scientific  areas,  therefore  we  are  looking  forward  for original research papers covering the topics detailed below.
