6 Preface This book contains a selection of papers accepted for presentation and discussion at The 2015 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (WorldCIST 15). This Conference had the support of the University of the Azores, AISTI (Iberian Association for Information Systems and Technologies / Associação Ibérica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informação), ATI (Informatics Technical Association / Asociación de Técnicos de Informática), LIACC (Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science Laboratory) and GIIM (Global Institute for IT Management). It took place at University of the Azores, Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, Azores, Portugal, from 1st to 3rd April The World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (WorldCIST) is a global forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent results and innovations, current trends, professional experiences and challenges of modern Information Systems and Technologies research, technological development and applications. One of its main aims is to strengthen the drive towards a holistic symbiosis between academy, society and industry. WorldCIST 15 built on the successes of World- CIST 13, held in 2013 in Olhão, Algarve, Portugal and WorldCIST 14 which took place on 2014 in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal The Program Committee of WorldCIST 15 was composed of a multidisciplinary group of experts and those who are intimately concerned with Information Systems and Technologies. They have had the responsibility for evaluating, in a blind review process, the papers received for each of the main themes proposed for the Conference: A) Information and Knowledge Management (IKM); B) Organizational Models and Information Systems (OMIS); C) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems (IDSS); D) Big Data Analytics and Applications (BDAA); E) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools (SSAAT); F) Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA); G) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems (CNMPS); H) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI); I) Health Informatics (HIS); J) Information Technologies in Education (ITE); K) Information Technologies in Radiocommunications (ITR). WorldCIST 15 also included workshop sessions taking place in parallel with the conference ones. Workshop sessions covered themes such as i) Applied Statistics and Data Analysis using Computer Science ASDACS; ii) Big Data Systems and Technologies BDST; iii) Business Intelligence in Organisations BIO; iv) Computer Supported
