# Aim and Scope

The International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems is an established international event for presenting and discussing scientific contributions about technical, economical, and societal aspects of distributed information systems at scale.

The guiding theme of this 28th conference is "Information Systems in a Digital World", with a particular focus on the following areas:

- Topic 1: Data, Information, and Knowledge Engineering
- Topic 2: Machine-Learning and Knowledge Discovery
- Topic 3: Process Analytics and Technology
- Topic 4: Semantic Interoperability and Open Standards
- Topic 5: Security and Privacy
- Topic 6: Internet of Things and Digital Twins
- Topic 7: Architecture and Management of Information Systems
- Topic 8: Human Aspects and Social Interaction in Information Systems
- Topic 9: Services and Cloud in Information Systems

For a detailed description of these topics, please see the conference Web site at www.coopisconference.org

Submissions
===========
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for any other conference, workshop, or journal. Papers must be written in English. The contributions should address research questions that relate to one of the topics listed above.

We particularly encourage:

1. Contributions that introduce and evaluate technological innovations (e.g. new techniques, tools, methods or software).

2. Empirical studies (e.g. quantitative data on the effects of novel approaches in technical, social, or economical terms).

3. Systematic surveys of emerging technologies and competing paradigms.

The questions addressed should both be practically relevant and appealing to the general IS field. Full papers should include a systematic evaluation of the contribution and relate this contribution to related scientific work. Short papers may present work supported by preliminary evidence only.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. Papers are evaluated in terms of originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity.

Submissions for full papers must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready paper style. Short papers can cover up to 8 pages. Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.

Each accepted paper must have one of its authors registered to the conference before the camera-ready deadline. The conference organizers reserve the right of removing a paper from the proceedings if no author is officially registered by the camera-ready deadline. Moreover, only papers that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in the conference proceedings.

The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Author instructions can be found at: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

It is mandatory to submit manuscripts in electronic form (in PDF format).
