Workshops

IEEE CBI is a well-established conference series on Business Informatics that has a long tradition of hosting workshops around topics related to the main themes of the conference. The CBI workshops provide ample room for discussion of recent business informatics developments, as well as new and emerging ideas.

Accordingly, CBI’17, the 19th edition of the CBI series, will be holding a number of, parallel with the conference, workshops to areas of special interest to the topics of the Conference.

  • Developing Multi-sided DIGITAL PLATFORMS – a business informatics perspective

    Workshop date: July 26th, 2017
    Workshop website: https://www.list.lu/en/conference/developing-multi-sided-digital-platforms-call-for-papers/

    This workshop aims to explore how firms create or transform business into new, multi-sided platform ecosystem, and explore the role of business informatics in developing adaptive and dynamic platform capabilities that are able to continually evolve to co-create a virtuous cycle of sustained value for participating actors.

    Co-Chairs:

    • Prof Eng Chew, University of Technology Sydney, NSW 2060, Australia
    • Dr. Martha Russell, Stanford University, California, USA
    • Prof. Rahul C. Basole, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
    • Dr. Kaisa Still, VTT, Finland
    • Dr. Wided Guedria, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Luxembourg

  • International Workshop on the Internet of Things and Smart Services (ITSS2017)

    Workshop date: July 25th, 2017
    Workshop website: https://bi.hse.ru/en/announcements/202626319.html

    ITSS2017 is an international workshop on advances in theory, applications and different approaches to using IoT and Smart Services. This workshop is about business transformation due to digital economy implementation and about new types of services and innovative business models stemming from the high impact of IoT and data-based services as the next step in globalization including new strategy and recommendations on Collaborative Economy in 2016 by the European Commission. The workshop will also include discussions on relevant topics of Big Data and Big Data Analytics (related to information understanding and new business models).

    Co-Chairs:

    • Dr. Svetlana V. Maltseva, Head of the School of Business Informatics, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia
    • Dr. Mikhail M. Komarov, Deputy head of the School of Business Informatics for the international relations, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia

  • Smart, internet-connected objects and applications in dynamically evolving cities and communities (CBISC2017)

    Workshop date: July 25th, 2017
    Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/a/abmmc.edu.qa/i-doha/cbisc-2017

    Systems enabling SCO are highly adaptive complex systems that pose great challenges in their development and operation. Current user-driven techniques for system domain modelling and requirements engineering are not adequate for supporting the development of such systems. In this special session we address the current state of the art and explore innovative techniques in smart, internet connected objects and applications in the context of smart cities and communities.

    Co-Chairs:

    • Adnane Ghannem, QATAR
    • Georges Dimitrakouplos, GREECE

  • International Workshop in Requirements Engineering and Design for Big Data Analytics and Applications (REDBDAA2017)

    Workshop date: July 26th, 2017
    Workshop website: http://redbdaa2017.org/

    Big data has provided an opportunity for organisations to get insightful information from very large databases and a wide variety of data sources. However, there are various challenges throughout the key phases of the data analytics life cycle, from discovery, data preparation, model planning, model building, results communication, and operation. Especially in the early stages, it is challenging whether all stakeholders’ requirements are fully discovered and understood prior to conducting data analytics techniques, and whether existing data sources are appropriate with respect to data quality towards achieving the data analytics objectives. In addition, systems are not being designed with business intelligence/data analytics processes in mind. For example, quality of data may not be appropriate or may need to be augmented in order to be useful for data analytics/business intelligence activities. In terms of systems design, data analytics/business intelligence activities may not be precisely known at the time when a system is being designed and behavioural adaptation techniques may be required. This workshop aims to explore the areas of requirements engineering and design for business intelligence and data analytics from both theoretical and applications points of view. It aims to present approaches, frameworks and tools that target the early stages of systems development. At the same time, it welcomes applications that have focused on requirements and design for data analytics/business intelligence applications.
