CBI/EDOC Forum Track
BI Week 2024 will feature a combined Forum track for both the CBI and the EDOC conferences. The CBI/EDOC Forum track is an interactive platform within the CBI/EDOC conferences for presenting and discussing new ideas, novel research reports and artefacts/tools on the full range of models, methodologies, and engineering technologies employed in Business Informatics and Enterprise Computing. The Forum has the main goal to encourage potential participants to present emerging topics and contentious viewpoints while showcasing innovative systems, tools, and applications. Submissions encompass new and promising research findings, inventive applications, experience reports, as well as proposals for ongoing research at its initial phases. Emphasis is placed on innovation and early-stage ideas over maturity, especially in relation to emerging research areas. The primary objective of the track is to foster interaction, discussion, and the sharing of ideas among speakers and attendees.
Contribution Types and Author Guidelines
The CBI/EDOC Forum track allows for the following types of submissions (page lengths in the LNCS Springer format):
- Forum papers present novel and innovative research in business informatics and enterprise computing that is not necessarily mature or fully evaluated but comprises interesting early results or carries promise for high future impact. Forum papers may also present novel applications in industrial contexts, or new and innovative research endeavors that are still at an exploratory stage. Full Forum papers are limited to 14 pages and short papers to 8 pages.
- Vision papers have a particular focus on the future of business informatics and enterprise computing or anticipate new challenges and opportunities. Submission of vision papers may describe novel projects that are in an early stage but hold out the strong promise of eventual high impact. The paper should describe what the success criteria are for the vision project. Vision papers have a limit of 4 pages.
Length limits include all text, figures, references and appendices. All papers should be in English and describe original work that has not been published or submitted elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the BI Week 2024 Program Committee. Submitted papers must present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Authors are requested to prepare submissions according to the format of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Accepted papers will be included in the post-proceedings volume of the EDOC main track and published in the LNCS series by Springer. The title page must contain a short abstract and a list of keywords, preferably using the list of topics given above. Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=biweek2024) and select 'BI Week 2024 - Forum' as submission track.
