BIS 2010 held on 3-5 May 2010 in Berlin, Germany was the 13th in a series of international conferences on Business Information Systems. The BIS conference series has been recognised by professionals from its very beginning as a forum for the exchange and dissemination of topical research in the development, - plementation, application and improvement of computer systems for business processes. The theme ofthe conferencewas Future InternetBusiness Services. A n- ber of new initiatives are already underway to address the challenges related to explosive development of Internet applications, hence the conference topics: Searchand KnowledgeSharing,Data and InformationSecurity,Web Experience Modelling. Although many people announced that SOA was dead there is - doubtedly a strong need for service-orientation. This was addressed by a topic: Services and Repositories. More and more e?ort is put on explaining and und- standing complex processes as could be seen in topics: Business Processes and Rules, Data Mining for Processes, Visualisation in BPM. Finally, the classical business aspects were covered in session: ERP and SCM. Altogether, a set of 25 papers illustrating these trends were selected for the presentation during the main event, grouped in 8 sessions. The Program C- mittee consisted of almost 100 members who carefully evaluated all the subm- ted papers. Each submission was reviewed on the average by 3.1 programme committee members. Only the best quality papers were selected, resulting in an acceptance rate of less than 30%.
