Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2020. Papers should be in English and must be associated to one of the following categories: Technical solution papers (max 16 pages Springer) present solutions that are novel or significantly improve existing approaches. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution, and results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in follow-up research. Evaluation papers (max 16 pages Springer) evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions through scientific means, i.e., by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The research method must be sound and appropriate. Industrial practice and experience papers (max 16 pages Springer) thoroughly present problems or challenges encountered in practice, elaborate on success or failure with existing approaches, or report on industrial practice (e.g., methods and tools). A paper in this category shall provide a clear context, detail the problem or the industrial practice, and explain the lessons learned. Work in progress papers (max 8 pages Springer) present relevant preliminary results across the spectrum of information science. These papers can either present a novel technical solution, or report on a preliminary evaluation of a technique. Please note that the maximum length of the paper includes references, appendices, etc. The submission site is http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… . By submitting a paper, the authors agree that at least one of them will register to the conference and present the paper. The appearance of a paper in the Springer proceedings is dependent on the registration of one author within the early registration deadline on March 31, 2020.

*** Second Joint Call for Tutorials, Doctoral Consortium, Posters and Demos *** 14th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS 2020) Royal Apollonia Beach Hotel 5*, Limassol, Cyprus May 20-22, 2020, Limassol, Cyprus http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… Submission deadline: February 14, 2020 (AoE) (Proceedings to be published by Springer) RCIS has become a recognized conference on research challenges in Information Science. Organized for the 14th time in a row, RCIS 2020 will be held from May 20-22, 2020, in Limassol, Cyprus. The topics of interest are organized into some major categories (more details in the call for papers http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… ): · Information Systems and their Engineering · User-Oriented Approaches · Data and Information Management · Business Process Management · Domain-specific IS Engineering · Data Science · Information Infrastructures · Reflective Research and Practice IMPORTANT DATES FOR ALL SATELLITE EVENTS · Submission deadline for all paper types: February 14, 2020 (AoE) · Notification to authors and registration opening: March 15, 2020 · Author registration deadline for all paper types: March 31, 2020 · Camera-ready copy deadline for all paper types: March 31, 2020 · Conference: May 20-22, 2020 TUTORIALS Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction (know-how) on a topic of relevance, no commercial or sales-oriented. Potential presenters should keep in mind that there might be a varied audience, including novice graduate students, seasoned practitioners, and specialized researchers. Tutorial speakers should be prepared to cope with this diversity. The conference has specific slots for tutorials. They will be organized in sessions of 90 minutes with a free format. Tutorials run in parallel with other conference tracks, and participation is included in the attendees' conference fee. We invite proposals for tutorials that may address one or more of the listed topics below, although authors should not feel limited by them. Tutorial proposals are limited to 5 pages in Springer LNCS/LNBIP format (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… ). Proposals must be submitted using the conference submission site (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… ), where you choose "RCIS2020 Tutorials". Instructions on the structure of a tutorial proposal can be found online: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… . Tutorial Chairs · Estefania Serral Asensio, KU Leuven, Belgium · Ignacio Panach, University of Valencia, Spain DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The RCIS 2020 Doctoral Consortium is an opportunity for doctoral students to present, discuss and develop their research project in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of senior researchers. The Doctoral Consortium offers nice opportunities for PhD students. Firstly, the feedback received during the Doctoral Consortium will really benefit students who have defined their topic, research plan and have obtained early results, but who still have room for improving their longer-term plan. Secondly, students at all stages of their doctoral project can meet the welcoming RCIS community and widen their network of contacts. The Doctoral Consortium has the following objectives: · Provide a platform for students to present their work and to meet other peers and be familiar with different research topics and methods. · Provide feedback on students' current research and guidance on future research directions. · Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research and networking. · Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers. Interested PhD students are invited to submit papers, in agreement with their supervisors, addressing the instructions that are provided on the online call: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… . Papers shall be formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP conference proceedings template (for LaTeX and Word): http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… . Submissions must be written in English, and must be authored by the student only. The maximum length of the paper should be eight (8) pages, including references, appendices, etc. The submission site address is http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… where you can choose "RCIS2020 Doctoral Consortium". Doctoral Consortium Chairs · Raian Ali, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom · Sergio España, Utrecht University, Netherlands POSTERS AND DEMOS The posters & demos track will showcase prototypes and new research ideas in Information Science. This track provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their work, interact with conference participants, and obtain feedback on on-going research. We invite two types of submissions: · Posters are intended to convey a research result and are not advertisements for commercial software packages. While posters need not describe completed work, they should report on research for which at least some preliminary results are available. · Demonstrations should directly and actively involve the exhibition and display of tools/prototypes and associated materials that illustrate research work in progress and serve as ground for discussion of research ideas. Posters and demonstrations proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 6 pages in Springer LNCS/LNBIP format (http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… ) including references and appendices. Proposals that exceed the limit of 6 pages will be rejected without review. Proposals that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2020. The submission site address is http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcm… where you can choose "RCIS2020 Posters & Demos".
