This book contains revised and extended versions of selected papers from the Sixth International Symposium on Business Modeling and Software Design, BMSD 2016, held in Rhodes, Greece, in June 2016, organized by the Institute IICREST in cooperation with BPM-D, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, TU Delft, CTIT - University of Twente, IMI-BAS, the Dutch Research School SIKS, and AMAKOTA Ltd.BMSD 2016 received 59 paper submissions from which 27 papers were selected for publication in the BMSD'16 proceedings. Additional post-symposium reviewing was carried out reflecting both the qualities of the papers and the way they were presented. 11 best papers were selected for the current Springer edition, that were carefully revised and extended, following the reviewers'comments and recommendations.The selection considers a large number of BMSD-relevant research topics: from business-processes-related topics, such as business process management, variability of businessprocesses, and inconsistencies risk detection, (here it is to be mentioned that several papers consider and analyze particular business process modeling formalisms and tools), through system-engineering-related topics, such as conceptual modeling, enterprise architectures, human-centered design, signs modeling, and idiosyncrasies capturing, to service-oriented-software-engineering-related topics, such as service orchestration and e-services design.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 11th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies, WEBIST 2015, held in Lisbon, Portugal, May 20-22, 2015, organized by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), and technically sponsored by the European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS). The purpose of the WEBIST series of conferences is to bring together researches, engineers and practitioners interested in technological advances and business applications of web-based information systems. The 17 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected originally 115 paper submissions. They were organized in topical sections names: web interfaces and applications; internet technology; society, e-business and e-government; web intelligence; and mobile information systems.

This book constitutes revised and extended versions of the best papers from the 10th Conference on Information Systems Management (ISM 2015) and 13th Conference on Advanced Information Technologies for Management (AITM 2015), held in Lodz, Poland, September 2015 as part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2015). These events constitute a forum for the exchange of ideas for practitioners and theorists working in the broad area of information systems management in organizations and to present and discuss the current issues of IT in business applications.The 11 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected originally 54 submissions. They focus on knowledge management systems; information technology for business and public organizations; and evaluation of information systems.
