Business Informatics takes a
systematic and analytic approach in aligning
business intelligence, information science, and
computer engineering into an engineering science
for businesses. The core element of business
informatics is a methodological approach for
describing, explaining, predicting, and
designing information and communication models,
architectures, and systems for the business
environment. Business informatics is a
discipline combining several fields of study,
including computer science, information
technology, operations research, and management
systems, to develop the new scientific
foundation for business engineering.
Business informatics is a
fertile ground for research with potential for
immense and tangible impact. Enterprises and
their IT systems are a critical element of our
rapidly developing digital society. There is an
ongoing need to push towards new frontiers of
business modeling, automation, monitoring and
analytics technologies, in order to evolve
enterprise applications and exercise business
controls more effectively. Furthermore, advances
in IT have given rise to new paradigms of
enterprise computing: socially synergistic
business processes, cloud-based enterprise
applications, real-world-aware business
solutions, and business intelligence driven by
big data, just to name a few. Business
informatics is of multi-disciplinary and
crosscutting nature, and it is important to draw
upon a variety of established disciplines in
order to develop key business innovations and
optimize enterprise operations.
The Technical Committee on
Business Informatics and Systems (TCBIS)
organizes and sponsors professional meetings,
sets guidelines for educational programs, and
helps nurture partnerships across academia,
industry, and government agencies. In addition,
TCBIS plans to publish a newsletter to help
IEEE/Computer Society members keep abreast of
the activities and events in this community.
