The International conference on Business Informatics Research (BIR) focusses on fields of business informatics. In particular, it targets the research that bridges management and engineering aspects and facilitates communication between scientific and practical applications. This volume contains publications presented at workshops and doctoral consortium of the BIR 2015 conference, organised in Tartu, Estonia, 26-28 August, 2015. The invited publication by A. Lupeikiene˙ et al. discusses decision support via visualisation of big multidimensional data. The rest of the volume includes publications presented at the 8th Workshop on Information Logistics and Knowledge Supply (ILOG'15), the Workshop on Security and Compliance in Business Processes (SCBP'15), the 3rd Workshop on Ontologies and Information Systems (WOIS'15), and the doctoral consortium of the 14th International Conference on Business Informatics Research (BIR 2015).
The 3rd Workshop on Ontologies and Information Systems (WOIS’15) organised by Birger Lantow and He Tan. Ontology specifies knowledge about entities, and their relationships and interactions. The goal of the WOIS workshop is to bring together researchers who have interest in the use of ontologies in the context of enterprise information systems. Three papers are included in the volume discussing collaboration, system interoperability and service innovation by the means of ontology.
Doctoral consortium is a good place for the doctoral students to receive an early feedback on their progress from the field experts and experienced researchers. This year four doctoral papers are presented. The discussed topics include enterprise software system integration, knowledge modelling of financial decision support systems, language technologies for the Lithuanian language and visual performance between flat and curved displays.
We would like to thank all Workshop Chairs and their Program Committee members for their diligence in selecting the papers and ensuring their high scientific quality.
