The 21st Annual Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems will be held in Shanghai, CHINA, on December 3-4, 2011, just prior to the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among scholars with research interests in the cutting edge issues of information technologies and systems. The theme of the conference is “Business Intelligence and Cloud Computing for Enterprise Competitiveness.”

Business Intelligence (BI) is an umbrella term that describes a combination of technologies and business concepts that organizations use to leverage information assets and create business value. According to an IBM Global CIO Study, the collective voice of more than 2,500 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) worldwide points to business intelligence and analytics as the top visionary plan for enhancing their enterprises’ competitiveness. As data storage and access capabilities continue to increase, cloud computing is emerging as an important aspect for many BI strategies. It has the potential to speed application deployment, increase innovation; lower maintenance costs, and improves business agility. However, these benefits must be balanced against concerns over security and ownership of information assets. The combination of BI and cloud computing represents an important paradigm shift in the way enterprises design, build, and deliver and utilize information assets. Since it is a workshop, WITS actively solicits papers describing novel research ideas that may be at a relatively early stage of development. Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Agent-based Systems
