12th Workshop on Information Logistics and Digital Transformation (ILOG 2021)
in conjunction with 20th International Conference on Business Informatics Research, BIR 2021
ILOG 2021 is the 12th workshop in a series which initially focused only on information logistics but extended the scope in 2017 to the neighboring topic of digital transformation. The mission of information logistics is to improve information flow in organizations by reducing information overflow and facilitating information supply that meets the demand of organizational stakeholders.
In recent years, many organizations are rethinking what customers value most and developing operating models that exploit the possibilities of big data, social media, artificial intelligence and other new technologies for competitive differentiation. This often leads to a digital transformation of large parts of the enterprise targeting seamless integration of digital services/products with digitized and optimized operations. Efficient and target-oriented information flows are a major contribution to digital transformation.
Knowledge-intensive industry and service sectors, public organizations and governmental bodies are dependent on accurate and timely information supply for efficient and high quality processes and services. Intelligent information supply has become an important issue that is characterized by just-in-time, demand-oriented and context-sensitive information. The digital transformation of organizations poses new requirements to optimized information supply and emphasizes the importance of information logistics solutions. In this context, we invite papers addressing these requirements and potential solution and we also encourage submissions addressing the use of semantic technologies, like ontologies, semantic nets, semantic web standards and other knowledge technologies. Such technologies and related methods have proven to be an important element of information logistics and solutions supporting digital transformation. Many information logistics applications wouldn’t be feasible without moving from data processing to also interpreting the meaning of this data.
The ILOG workshop aims to bring together people who have strong interest in digital transformation, information logistics, semantic technologies, information systems, enterprise solutions and knowledge-based systems. We invite researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia to submit original results of their completed or ongoing projects. We encourage broad understanding of possible approaches and solutions for information logistics and digital transformation.
