We welcome submissions for the 19th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research (BIR), taking place in Vienna, Austria. The topic of this edition is Artificial Intelligence in Business Informatics.
The official conference website is https://bir2020.omilab.org/home
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.
Artificial Intelligence 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.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
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.
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
