About the Workshop
The Bulgarian Association for Information Systems (БАИС / BulAIS), the official Bulgaria Chapter of the Association for Information Systems, holds its 2024 workshop at a moment of significant transition for the IS field in South-East Europe. Enterprises across the region are negotiating cloud-first procurement, EU NIS2 compliance, accelerated digital-banking adoption, and the practical absorption of generative AI into accounting, audit and public-administration workflows. The workshop is a deliberately compact, peer-reviewed forum — designed for substantive scholarly exchange rather than spectacle.
BulAIS 2024 is hosted by the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (FMI) of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, the oldest higher-education institution in Bulgaria and the principal training ground for the country's IS, software-engineering and applied-mathematics communities. The workshop continues the BulAIS tradition of pairing rigorous empirical research with a strong regional voice.
