This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Business Intelligence for the Real-Time Enterprise, BIRTE 2009, held in Lyon, France, in August 2009, in conjunction with VLDB 2009, the International Conference on Very Large Data Bases. The volume contains the carefully reviewed selected papers from the workshop, including one of the two keynotes, the six research, two industrial, and one experimental paper, and also the basic statements from the panel discussion on "Merging OLTP and OLAP". The topical focus is on models and concepts, architectures, case-studies, and applications of technologies for real-time enterprise business intelligence.
