Description
The increasing importance of information as a vital resource for organisations and individuals requires an increasingly complex management of information, using an interdisciplinary and holistic view from various standpoints: sociological, technological, commercial and educational.
The annual IDIMT conferences provide an interdisciplinary forum for exchanging concepts and visions in the area of information management, knowledge management, business engineering, information technology, system theory, and related areas. The international setting, the heterogeneity of cooperating technical and economic research institutes and the different scientific, economic and historical background of the researchers guarantee a multifaceted view on these topics.
The main focus of this year's conference is the management of information, innovations, system development, projects, organisations, and business. Due to the many unknowns of these fields they are not really manageable - hence the title of the conference. Nevertheless Information and Communication Technology together with Systems Thinking provide a basis for management activities.
In this spirit the key topics of this year's conference are:
- Information Management
- Performance Management
- Software Project Management
- Systems Thinking in Management
- Business Excellence
- Cooperative Information Environments
- Security and Safety as a Systemic Challenge
- Privacy versus Security
- Human Factors
- Future Developments of ICT
