This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the four workshops
that were organized in conjunction with the International Conference on
Business Information Systems, BIS 2013, which took place in Poznań,
Poland, in June 2013.
BIS workshops give researchers the opportunity to share their
preliminary ideas and first experimental results and to discuss research
hypotheses with a highly focused audience. The 25 papers in this volume
were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions and were
revised and extended after the event. The workshop topics covered
applications and economics of knowledge-based technologies (AKTB),
business and IT alignment (BITA), enterprise systems for higher
education (ESHE) and formal semantics for future enterprises (FSFE). In
addition, two keynotes as well as ten papers presented at the PhD
Symposium are also included in this volume.
