SUBMISSION PROCESS 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… . 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. SPECIAL ISSUE A selection of the best accepted papers of RCIS'20, chosen by a dedicated committee, will be invited to submit an extended version of the RCIS paper to the Data & Knowledge Engineering (DKE) journal published by Elsevier (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/data-and-knowledge-engineering) The selection of the papers to invite will be based on the review scores and arguments, and the potential for extension. IMPORTANT DATES · Regular paper submission deadline: January 27, 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 CONFERENCE COMMITTEES General Chairs · George A.
