CALL FOR PAPERS International Conference on BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS (miproBIS) in conjunction with 38th International Convention MIPRO May 27 – 28, 2015 Opatija, Adriatic Coast, Croatia The term Business intelligence (BI) refers to applications and technologies used to gather, provide access to, and analyze data and information about company operations in order to help them to have a more comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting their business. BI systems usually lean on data warehouses (DWs) to guarantee an easy and quick access to information. The widespread deployment of these systems is making users more and more demanding in terms of applications, types of analysis and performances; on the other hand, more than ten years of research in the data warehousing field paved the way for new applications that goes beyond traditional OLAP analysis and concern real-time, spatiotemporal as well as distributed data. Furthermore, BI research is now dealing with the integration of BI with Corporate Performance Management (CPM), Business Process Management (BPM), Social Business Intelligence, Semantic Web, and Big Data. Like the previous successful editions, miproBIS 2015 provides an international forum where both researchers and practitioners can share their findings and practical experiences in the field of BI. In particular, besides submissions in traditional DW and OLAP topics, we encourage papers concerning emerging research topics and applications in the DW, OLAP and BI area. The SCOPE of the conference includes, but is not limited to: - Data warehouse design and schema evolution - Multidimensional modelling and queries - Data warehousing consistency and quality - Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) - Tools for data warehousing and OLAP - Integration of data warehousing and data mining - Metadata management - Integration of Business Process Management (BPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) - Forecasting and simulation in Business Intelligence - Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and Business Intelligence - Balanced scorecards - Decision Support Systems - Active/real-time data warehousing - Data warehousing with unstructured and semi-structured data (e.g. XML) - Data warehousing and industry applications (e.g. ERP, CRM) - Data warehousing in mobile/wireless environments - Biomedical data warehousing - Cloud intelligence - Warehousing stream and sensor data - Temporal, spatial and spatiotemporal data warehouses - Analytics for multimedia data - Social Business Intelligence - Business Intelligence on Social Data - Sentiment Analysis - Semantic Web - Semantic Web & Deep Web in Data warehouses - Ontologies & Data warehouses - Big Data - Using MapReduce in Data warehouses - SQL Vs MapReduce for Analytical Processing - Smart Grid & Data Warehousing Accepted papers will be published in the ISBN registered conference proceedings.
