Preface




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 sci-
entific 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. Lupeikienė
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 Se-
curity 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 8th Workshop on Information Logistics and Knowledge Supply (ILOG’15)
organised by Kurt Sandkuhl and Ulf Seigerroth.
   The ILOG goal is to discuss approaches, methods and technologies used to
reduce information overflow and to improve and maintain high quality of infor-
mation flow in organisations. Six papers included in this volume discuss decision
support, information demand, business intelligence, and configuration processes.
The invited publication by Alexander Smirnov and Kurt Sandkuhl specifically
focusses on requirements and challenges observed within context-oriented knowl-
edge management for decision support systems.

    Workshop on Security and Compliance in Business Processes (SCBP’15) or-
ganised by Naved Ahmed and Raimundas Matulevičius.
    Security and compliance play an important role in business processes. SCBP
workshop aims at encouraging innovative methods for workflow security mod-
elling, security compliance, audit and control throughout the business process
lifecycle: from design time verification to online operational support and post-
mortem analysis. Two papers are presented this year. One discusses a novel
approach for discovering security requirements from business processes. Another
one explores how privacy concerns could be implemented to achieve efficient e-
governance solutions.

    The 3rd Workshop on Ontologies and Information Systems (WOIS’15) or-
ganised by Birger Lantow and He Tan. Ontology specifies knowledge about en-
tities, 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 re-
searchers. 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 Commit-
tee members for their diligence in selecting the papers and ensuring their high
scientific quality.
