Preface
This book constitutes the CEUR proceedings of the workshops, held in conjunc- tion with the 17th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI 2015), in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2015. The CBI conference aims at developing various research areas related to organisational information systems and processes. This conference attempts to involve both researchers and practitioners in contributing to this field. One of the ways of doing this is to invite workshops to join the CBI conference.
The workshops collocated with CBI provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic related to the conference scope.
Workshops concentrate on an emerging topic of technical interest, unique area of application for enterprise computing, or a community-wide issue that deserves spe- cialized attention.
This year, the CBI conference introduces two novelties with regards to work- shops. First, workshops can be submitted as “Mini-Dagstuhl” seminar. These semi- nars put specific emphasis on open and enthusiastic discourses. The participation is by invitation only and is restricted to experts in the area of a seminar’s topic. Second, CBI workshops can select between two types of proceedings: IEEE proceedings or an on-line CEUR volume.
This volume contains proceedings of three workshops using the on-line CEUR proceedings: the 2nd Workshop on Capability-oriented Business Informatics (CoBI 2015), the 9th Workshop on Transformation & Engineering of Enterprises for the case study reports (TEE 2015), and the 2nd Workshop on Cross-organizational and Cross- company BPM (XOC-BPM 2015). The papers cover different topics related to these areas and are organized in three corresponding sections. The three workshops are introduced in the respective individual prefaces.
The organizing team of the CBI conference would like to thank the workshop chairs for their involvement: Pericles Loucopoulos, Oscar Pastor, and Jelena Zdravk- ovic for CoBI, Wided Guédria and Henderik Proper for TEE, Albert Fleischmann, Lutz Heuser, Andreas Oberweis, Werner Schmidt, Frank Schönthaler, Christian Stary, and Gottfried Vossen for XOC-BPM. We thank also the chairs of other workshops and Mini-Dagstuhl seminars for their contribution: Svetlana Maltseva and Mikhail Komarov for W3SC, and Janne J. Korhonen and Hella Faller for SCBI, Chris Stary, Jan Dietz, Tu Delft, Albert Fleischmann, Sergio Guerreiro, Werner Schmidt, and Jan Verelst for the Mini-Dagstuhl Seminar on Conceptual Foundations of BPM Ap- proaches, and Ulrich Frank and Henderik Proper for the Mini-Dagstuhl Seminar on Foundational Aspects of Conceptual Modelling.
Finally, we thank all participants and the authors for their contribution to the CBI workshops and hope that you will enjoy these proceedings.
