ICEIS 2016 received 257 paper submissions from 42 countries in all continents, which makes it one of the largest conferences in the World in the area of Information Systems, thus demonstrating the success and global dimension of this conference. From these, 42 papers were selected for publication and presentation at the Conference as full papers. These numbers, leading to a full-paper acceptance ratio of 16%, show the intention of preserving a high quality forum for this conference, a quality that we intend to maintain in the future, for the next editions of this conference.The high number and high quality of the received papers imposed difficult choices in the selection process. To evaluate each submission, a double blind paper review was performed by the Program Committee, whose members are highly qualified researchers in ICEIS topic areas.All presented papers will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library and will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.Additionally, a short list of presented papers will be selected to be expanded into a forthcoming book of ICEIS 2016 Selected Papers to be published by Springer in the LNBIP Series.The technical program of the conference included a panel and 4 invited talks delivered by internationally distinguished speakers, namely: Claudia Loebbecke (University of Cologne, Germany), Sergio Gusmeroli (TXT e-solutions SPA, Italy), Wil Van Der Aalst (Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Netherlands) and Jan Vom Brocke (University of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein). Their participation positively contributes to reinforce the overall quality of the Conference and to provide a deeper understanding of the fields addressed by the conference.Moreover, ICEIS 2016 had a Doctoral Consortium on Enterprise Information Systems and 1 tutorial. We are thankful to the Conference Co-chairs (Olivier Camp and José Cordeiro) and Program Co-chairs (Slimane Hammoudi, Leszek Maciaszek and Michele M. Missikoff) for their dedication and hard work in organizing these events.We sincerely thank all the authors for their submissions and participation in ICEIS 2016. Furthermore, we would like to thank all the members of the program committee and reviewers, who helped us with their expertise, dedication and time. We would also like to thank the invited speakers for their excellent contribution in sharing their knowledge and vision and the workshop/special session chairs whose collaboration with ICEIS 2015 was much appreciated. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the professional support of the ICEIS 2016 team for all organizational processes. XIIIWe hope that all colleagues find this a fruitful and inspiring conference. We hope to contribute to the development of the Enterprise Information Systems community and look forward to having additional research results presented at the next edition of ICEIS, details of which are available at http://www.iceis.org.

“…However, in human centered activities, such as software development projects, personnel assignment decisions considering individual level of skills of each available resource can clearly contribute to project success [13]. Skills assessments are one the main considerations of the model proposed in the current paper.…”

This paper introduces a model for supporting human resource allocation decisions in software development projects. The model's underlying allocation method is based on an extension of the bio-inspired response threshold model and takes into account various aspects of the human resource allocation problem, such as the skills of available human resources, activity-related skill requirements as well as social ties/relationships among involved human resources. The model is demonstrated using an exemplar case problem concerning human resource allocation to a set of software development tasks.

“…On the other hand, wrong assignments may result in significant loss of value due to understaffing, under qualification or over qualification of assigned personnel, and high turnover of poorly matched workers (Naveh et al, 2007). Due to the lack of proper methods to assess personnel capabilities, decision makers are forced to assign resources to tasks based on subjective measures only (Otero et al, 2009), not in vain are the works where the assignment of personnel to software project teams is modeled scarce (Andre-Ampuero, Baldoquín de la Peña & Acuña, 2010) although the assignment problem has been an object of study for several decades. Furthermore, it is evident that there is much room for improved personnel assignment methodologies in software projects (Otero et al, 2009).…”

Given the importance of software in today's world, the development of software systems is a key activity that requires complex management scenarios. This paper explores the implications of hard decisions in the context of software development projects (SDPs). More in deep, it focuses on the emotional consequences of making hard decisions in IT organizations. Complex SDPs involve a great variety of actors. This fact entails morale, feelings and emotions, which play an important role for communication, interaction and, ultimately, decision making. The aim of the paper is twofold. First (study 1), to identify which are the most important hard decisions in SDPS. Second (study 2), to study the influence of emotions on decision-making processes (Study 2). Findings show the complex emotional consequences and difficulties that managers must face in hard decision-making processes.
