An innovation process is different from a ‘usual’ business process we find in an enterprise that is (supposedly) well defined in its activities, committed resources, etc. Innovation is a creative activity confronted with ‘wicked problems’, i.e., problems difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, changing requirements. The NGEBIS workshop intends to address the area of business innovation that has been traditionally considered too fuzzy and ill-defined to be systematically tackled by using existing information systems and information engineering methods. We expect that accepted papers will contribute to the development of methods to be used in the implementation of a new generation of information systems dedicated to business innovation, with particular attention to networked enterprises. This year the NGEBIS’13 will be articulated in the following sections: (i) Presentation oriented section, with peer review papers (12 pages), to be included in the official CAiSE Workshops proceedings (ii) Discussion-oriented section, with (a) demos of new tools and systems, (b) posters, and (c) Emerging Ideas short papers. The short papers (5 pages) will be published in CEUR e-Proceedings. (iii) Knowledge Café: composed by 3 rotating parallel panels that will freely discuss the 3 most hot topics that will emerge during a 3 month WOW Forum. The outcome will be published on CEUR. (iv) WOW - Window on Online Workshop Forum, for online discussion on a selected Social Network (such as LinkedIn), that starts 2 months before the workshop debating to identify the 3 hottest issue among NGEBIS topics that will be selected for the Knowledge Cafè to be held on site. ================================================================================ ** TOPICS ** The following is a suggested, but not exhaustive, list of topics of interest for papers to submit.
