IDIMIT-2009

The increasing importance of information as a vital resource for individuals, organizations, and society requires an increasingly complex management information and the associated information technologies based on an interdisciplinary and holistic view from various standpoints: systemic, sociological, technological, commercial, and educational. The annual IDIMT conferences provide an appropriate forum for exchanging concepts and visions in all affected fields. The international setting of the conference, the heterogeneity of participating technical and economic research institutes and the different scientific, economic and historical background of the researchers guarantees a multifaceted view. The main focus of this year's conference is the complex relationship between humans and technological systems. These relationships range from questions of dependability, usability, connectivity, measurability, innovation, and open access to human factors and social responsibility. In this spirit the key topics of this year's conference are:

- ICT Innovation and Performance Measurement Models and Methods

- Information Management - Key Factors and Aspects of Enterprise Informatics

- Human Factors in Software Project Management

- Social Responsibility for Information by Informal Systems Thinking

- Safety and Security as a Systemic Challenge

- Computer Support of Cooperative Work

- The Magic of Open Everything: Open Source, Open Communities, Open Access?

42 papers were accepted and presented at IDIMT 2009, originating from authors from 11 different countries.
