This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of six international workshops held in Tallinn, Estonia, in conjunction with the 30th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2018, in June 2018. These workshops were: - The 5th Workshop on Advances in Services DEsign based on the Notion of Capability (ASDENCA) - The 1st Workshop on Business Data Analytics: Techniques and Applications (BDA) - The 1st Workshop on Blockchains for Inter-Organizational Collaboration (BIOC) - The 6thWorkshop on Cognitive Aspects of Information Systems Engineering (COGNISE) - The 2nd Workshop on Enterprise Modeling - The 1st Workshop on Flexible Advanced Information Systems (FAiSE) Two more workshops decided to produce their own, independent proceedings. The 22 full papers presented here were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 49 submissions.

This book provides a coherent overview of the most important modelling-related security techniques available today, and demonstrates how to combine them. Further, it describes an integrated set of systematic practices that can be used to achieve increased security for software from the outset, and combines practical ways of working with practical ways of distilling, managing, and making security knowledge operational. The book addresses three main topics: (1) security requirements engineering, including security risk management, major activities, asset identification, security risk analysis and defining security requirements; (2) secure software system modelling, including modelling of context and protected assets, security risks, and decisions regarding security risk treatment using various modelling languages; and (3) secure system development, including effective approaches, pattern-driven development, and model-driven security. The primary target audience of this book is graduate students studying cyber security, software engineering and system security engineering. The book will also benefit practitioners interested in learning about the need to consider the decisions behind secure software systems. Overall it offers the ideal basis for educating future generations of security experts.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research, BIR 2015, held in Tartu, Estonia, in August 2015. Overall, 49 submissions from 16 countries were rigorously reviewed by 47 members of the Program Committee representing 23 countries. The selected 16 full papers and 4 short papers are included in this volume. The conference theme was "making business information systems interoperable and adaptive in highly interconnected and changing contexts". The papers have been organized in topical sections on business information systems interoperability, business information system requirements and architecture, business process and decision management, business information systems development, and research in progress.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Blockchain, Robotic Process Management (RPA), and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Forum which were held as part of the 20th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2022, which took place in Munster, Germany, during September 11-15, 2022. The Blockchain Forum is dealing with techniques for and applications of blockchains, distributed ledger technologies, and related topics. "The RPA Forum brings together researchers from various communities to discuss challenges, opportunities, and new ideas related to robotic process automation and its application to business processes in private and public sectors." The CEE Forum provides a discussion platform for BPM academics from Central and Eastern Europe to disseminate their research, compare results and share experiences. The 20 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 40 submissions.

This book constitutes thoroughly reviewed and selected short papers presented at the 25th East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2021, as well as papers presented at doctoral consortium and ADBIS 2021 workshops. Due to the COVID-19 the conference and satellite events were held in hybrid mode. The 11 full papers and 18 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 97 total submissions. This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the following satellite events: Workshop on Intelligent Data - From Data to Knowledge, DOING 2021; International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis, SIMPDA 2021; Workshop on Modern Approaches in Data Engineering and Information System Design, MADEISD 2021; Workshop on Advances in Data Systems Management, Engineering, and Analytics, MegaData 2021; Workshop on Computational Aspects of Network Science, CAoNS 2021; Doctoral Consortium.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2021, held in Tartu, Estonia, in August 2021. The 18 full papers presented together with 3 keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The selected papers span a wide spectrum of topics in databases and related technologies, tackling challenging problems and presenting inventive and efficient solutions. They are organized in 5 sessions: patterns and events, social media and text mining, indexes, queries and constraints, high-dimensional data and data streams, and data integration.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Baltic Conference on Databases and Information Systems, DB&IS 2020, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in June 2020.* The 22 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The papers are centered around topics like architectures and quality of information systems, artificial intelligence in information systems, data and knowledge engineering, enterprise and information systems engineering, security of information systems. *The conference was held virtully due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd Nordic Conference on Secure IT Systems, held in Tartu, Estonia, in November 2017.
