THEME OF THE CONFERENCE
Business Applications on the Move


According to IDC, in 2010, for the first time the sales by number of mobile computing devices (smartphones and tablets) exceeded the number of personal computer sales. Places that were previously spaces for conversations are now converted to workplaces. Even at scientific conferences it is hard to spot an active worker without a supporting device. This fact has significant implications for business applications. Companies need to acknowledge that employees as well as clients access those applications using mobile devices. What works in a monolithic environment under control of the enterprise may not work in a mobile environment. Therefore, classical topics like business processes or information management has to be rethought.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your work to BIS2013 conference. The BIS conference is a well-respected event joining international researchers to discuss the wide range of the development, implementation, application and improvement of business applications and systems. It is addressed to the scientific community, people involved in the development of business computer applications, consultants helping to properly implement computer technology and applications in the industry.
