5 Preface The International Conference on Informatics in Economy (IE) is an established tradition having reached its 15th edition in It was initiated in 1993 by the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest (ASE Bucharest), Romania, in collaboration with the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA de Lion), France, thus becoming the first scientific event to foster a scientific community in the area of business information systems in Romania. The conference promotes research results in business informatics and related computer science topics such as: cloud, distributed and parallel computing, mobile-embedded and multimedia solutions, e-society, enterprise and business solutions, databases and data warehouses, audit and project management, quantitative economics, artificial intelligence, and data mining. Starting with 2012, the conference has taken place annually in Bucharest and its proceedings have been indexed by ISI Thomson. The 2016 edition of IE ( conferenceie.ase.ro/) was held in Cluj Napoca, Romania, and co-organized by Babeș- Bolyai University an occasion to also celebrate 25 years from the founding of the Business Information Systems Department and line of studies at UBB Cluj Napoca. In order to extend the international visibility of the event, this was the first edition of IE to have its proceedings published in Springer s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing series an ideal dissemination channel, considering the conference topics. This volume includes extended versions of the best papers presented at the IE conference during June 2 3, A total of 89 papers were presented, out of which 31 were submitted as extended revised versions for inclusion in this volume. The proceedings review process involved at least three reviewers for each submission and the final selection comprises ten full papers, three short papers and one invited keynote paper. The two keynote papers address the emerging paradigm of agile modeling method engineering in business informatics (Prof. Dr. Dimitris Karagiannis, University of Vienna, Austria) and mechanisms for next-generation smart grids (Dr. Valentin Robu, Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, UK). The rest of the table of contents is grouped into five topical sections: Distributed Systems, Information Systems Adoption, Knowledge Representation and Processing, Domain-Specific Data Analysis, and Computational Models. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the founders of the business information systems studies and scientific community in Romania and in the universities co-organizing this event Prof. Florin Gheorghe Filip - member of the Romanian Academy (chair of the IE Conference), (former rector of Bucharest University of Economic Studies), (former head of the Business Information Systems Department at Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj Napoca), and Prof. Dan Racoviţan (former dean of Economic Studies at Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj Napoca).
6 VI Preface We thank the authors who submitted their work and addressed the suggestions for improvement gathered both during the conference presentations and the proceedings review process; we also thank the reviewers and members of the Program Committee, who provided their expertise in selecting the best papers and for suggesting improvements; we are grateful for the inspiration and research challenges raised and discussed by the two invited keynote speakers; and, of course, this volume would not have been possible without the extensive technical support and guidance provided by the Springer team led by Ralf Gerstner. For the conference organization, we acknowledge support from UEFISCDI under project PN-II-PT-PCCA and from NTT Data Romania, our official partner.

9 Keynote Abstracts
10 Designing Incentive Mechanisms for Next-Generation Smart Grids Valentin Robu Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK Abstract. This talk aims to give a broad overview of recent research in multi-agent systems, algorithmic game theory and electronic markets and their application to smart energy grids. It will cover a range of topics in this area, such as using online mechanism design to coordinate the charging of multiple electric vehicles while ensuring the capacity of distribution networks is to exceeded, the use of scoring rules to elicit accurate predictions from renewable energy producers, to demand side management through the formation of consumer coalitions. The talk will give a brief description of the key results obtained so far in these areas and outline some potential directions for future work.
11 Conceptual Modelling Methods: The AMME Agile Engineering Approach Dimitris Karagiannis Knowledge Engineering Research Group, Faculty of Computer Science, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract. Current research in fields such as Business Process Management, Enterprise Architecture Management, Knowledge Management and Software Engineering raises a wide diversity of requirements for Conceptual Modelling, typically satisfied by Design Science artefacts such as modelling methods. When employed in the context of an Agile Enterprise, an underlying requirement for Conceptual Modelling agility emerges - manifested not only on model contents level, but also on modelling method level. Depending on the questions that must be answered and the systems that must be supported with modelling means, the need for agility may stem from the degree of domain-specificity, from gradual understanding of modelling possibilities, from evolving model-driven systems etc. The hereby proposed Agile Modelling Method Engineering (AMME) approach thus becomes necessary to extend the traditional perspective of modelling through standards ; consequently, the benefits of repeatability and wide adoption are traded for responsiveness to dynamic needs identified within an Agile Enterprise.
