Information and knowledge management in complex systems

The 16th International Conference on Informatics and Semiotics in Organisations (ICISO

2015), similar to other events in the conference series, devotes to the latest research in

informatics and organisational semiotics. The aim of this conference is to provide a focal

forum for participants from various domains of information management and information

systems, computational science, semiotics, finance and accounting, business and

enterprise, service science, and business and engineering. One of the important

emphases in this 16th conference will be information and knowledge management

complex systems, such as large scale projects, network of networks, and dynamic and

evolving enterprise.

Information is an important resource for any organisation, whether it is large or small,

service or production industry. To understand the nature of information and how it can be

effectively managed and used in organisations is highly relevant. Following the early

events in the series, the key theme of this conference will be on information, and

management in complex organizations such as spaces industries and organization.

Particular interest will be placed in exploring and understanding from both theoretical and

empirical perspectives on how information enables an organisation to sustain and,

furthermore, to leverage innovation and competitiveness. In both cases, the organizations

will rely heavily on effective management and use of information.

The conference topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
