IDIMT 2005

This annual workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum for exchanging concepts and visions in the area of information management, knowledge management, business engineering, information technology, system theory, and related topics. The increasing importance of information as a vital resource both for organisations and for the individual requires considering these topics in an interdisciplinary and holistic way from various standpoints: sociological, technological, commercial and educational. The international setting of IDIMT, especially the cooperation of technical and economic research institutes and the bringing together of researchers with different economical and historical background, guarantees a multifaceted view on these topics.

The main focus of the conference will be the future of today's information society bringing together and affiliating today's innovations, advantages, problems, and risks of information technology on the one side, and the innovations, trends, problems, and risks in business engineering and business management on the other side.

This year's conference focuses on following topics:

- European Integration: Viribus Unitis
- Cooperative Information Environments
- Creative Thinking and Decision-Making Analysis
- Application Development beyond the Methodology Revolution
- Digital Business Ecosystems for SMEs
