CBI+EDOC ‘24 Call for Workshop Proposals
About the conference
The BI Week 2024 connects the CBI and EDOC conferences in a unique setup to bring these two communities together to exchange ideas, identify synergies, build new collaborations, and further promote research in the field of business informatics. As both conferences traditionally welcome workshops, this year we present a joint call for workshops which allows higher flexibility and enables leveraging impact by taking advantage of the co-located main conferences.
Workshop Proposals
We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with CBI 2024 and EDOC 2024 international conferences as part of the BI Week 2024. Workshops should allow participants to present and discuss novel research ideas on areas relevant to business informatics. They should focus on an emerging topic of technical interest, a unique area of application, or a community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention. Organizers are encouraged to focus on mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations and to differentiate themselves clearly from typical conference sessions. It is expected that the workshops have an international committee and are held in English. We invite proposals for one-day or half-day workshops.
Topics
The workshops can focus on the established technologies in new application areas, or even new areas of inquiries as, for example:
- Enterprise architecture
- Interoperability, federation, and integration
- Service-oriented architectures
- Software architecture and engineering
- Model-driven engineering
- Digital twins
- Enterprise security, information privacy, and consent
- Distributed ledgers and smart contracts
- Business process and business rules
- Advanced analytics and AI for business and consumer applications
- Semantics and information management
- Digital ethics, law, and human rights
- Community trust, resilience, and responsibility - AI concerns
- Human machine ecology
- Sustainability and green ICT
Proceedings
Due to different proceedings for CBI and EDOC conferences, the workshop organizers will need to make a choice if they want to publish the workshop papers in Springer’s LNBIP post-proceedings or in Volume 2 of CBI’s IEEE proceedings. Alternatively, workshop organizers may choose to publish the papers via a BI Week CEUR-WS.org proceedings. Both types of proceedings require a 50% acceptance rate and papers complying with the provided templates.
Review Process
Accepted workshops will be required to organize their own reviewing process, though provided access to EasyChair. The workshops need to set up their own webpage (will be linked to from the BI Week 2024 websites) with all the relevant information. The workshop organizers are also responsible for coordinating the collection and delivering of camera-ready material and copyright transfer in accordance with the relevant deadlines and instructions.
