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=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcmcJMTR0aCBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gUmVzZWFyY2ggQ2hhbGxlbmdlcyBpbiBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTY2llbmNlIChSQ0lTIDIwMjApOiBGaW5hbCBKb2ludCBDYWxsIGZvciBUdXRvcmlhbHMsIERDLCBQb3N0ZXJzIGFuZCBEZW1vcyAoZXh0ZW5zaW9uIGRlYWRsaW5lISkJNDY3CUxpc3RzCTEzOAljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fcomputer-science%2Flncs%2Fconference-proceedings-guidelines ).

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=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcmcJMTR0aCBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gUmVzZWFyY2ggQ2hhbGxlbmdlcyBpbiBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTY2llbmNlIChSQ0lTIDIwMjApOiBGaW5hbCBKb2ludCBDYWxsIGZvciBUdXRvcmlhbHMsIERDLCBQb3N0ZXJzIGFuZCBEZW1vcyAoZXh0ZW5zaW9uIGRlYWRsaW5lISkJNDY3CUxpc3RzCTEzOAljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rcis-conf.com%2Frcis2020%2FcallDoctoral.php .

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=d2ZtLXJnCQkJd2ZtLXJnQG9nZi5vcmcJMTR0aCBJbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gUmVzZWFyY2ggQ2hhbGxlbmdlcyBpbiBJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTY2llbmNlIChSQ0lTIDIwMjApOiBGaW5hbCBKb2ludCBDYWxsIGZvciBUdXRvcmlhbHMsIERDLCBQb3N0ZXJzIGFuZCBEZW1vcyAoZXh0ZW5zaW9uIGRlYWRsaW5lISkJNDY3CUxpc3RzCTEzOAljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fcomputer-science%2Flncs%2Fconference-proceedings-guidelines ) including references and appendices. Proposals that exceed the limit of 6 pages will be rejected without review.
