Call for Papers 3rd International Conference on Adaptive Business Information Systems (ABIS 2009) 2009 Systemics and Informatics World Network (SIWN 2009) Leipzig, Germany, 23-25 March 2009 http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/ABIS09.htm Overview Information Technologies in their broad sense have been profoundly changing the ways, the processes and the philosophies of businesses. Adaptive business applications support processes whose workflows, user interfaces and business rules often change. The need for these dynamic applications is greater now than ever before and business systems in every perspective, management, workflow, information, infrastructure, etc. are evolving themselves towards being autonomic, adaptive, self-managing, self-organizing, and so forth. Emerging technologies such business rules management systems, complex event processing engines, event-driven business process management tools, corporate semantic web technologies, etc. are now gaining increasing momentum as they promise enhanced adaptive and agility capabilities to businesses, in order to sense unexpected environmental changes and to respond to business opportunities or to avoid business risks that turn up in a turbulent and quickly changing business environment. ABIS 2009 aims to provide a premier forum for stimulating exchange and in-depth discussion of advances, challenges and emerging areas in adaptive business information systems. Conference Venue ABIS'09 (http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/ABIS09.htm), on the 3rd edition of its series, along with other conferences of the SIWN 2009 Congress (http://siwn.org.uk/2009leipzig/), will take place in Leipzig together with the SABRE 2009 conference (http://sabreconference.wifa.uni-leipzig.de/frontend/index.php).
