# Aim and Scope

The International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS) is a well-established international event for presenting and discussing scientific contributions on technical, economic, and societal aspects of distributed and cooperative information systems at scale. The guiding theme of the 32nd edition is: “Information Systems in the AI Era”. The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models and Agentic AI into information systems is transforming how data is processed, decisions are made, and services are delivered. The main topics of interest include:

- Topic 1: Knowledge Graphs, Data Engineering, and Intelligent Knowledge Systems
- Topic 2: Inductive Learning, Machine Learning, and Trustworthy AI
- Topic 3: Intelligent Process Analytics and AI-Driven Automation
- Topic 4: Semantic Interoperability, Open Standards, and Data Ecosystems
- Topic 5: Ethical, Privacy-Preserving, and Secure Information Systems
- Topic 6: Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Digital Twins
- Topic 7: Architecture, Engineering, and Management of AI-Enabled Information Systems
- Topic 8: Human-Centric AI and Socio-Technical Information Systems
- Topic 9: Services, Cloud in Information Systems and Distributed AI Platforms
- Topic 10: Applications of AI-Augmented and Autonomous Information Systems
- Topic 11: Software Engineering for AI Engineering for Information Systems

For a detailed description of these topics, please see the conference Web site at

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Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for any other conference, workshop, or journal.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

We particularly encourage:

1. Contributions introducing and rigorously evaluating technological innovations (e.g., novel techniques, architectures, tools, or frameworks).
2. Empirical studies evaluating AI-enabled information systems in real-world settings.
3. Interdisciplinary research addressing ethical, legal, and societal aspects of information systems.
4. Systematic surveys on emerging paradigms in AI-driven cooperative information systems.
5. Industrial case studies focusing on trust, privacy, and governance challenges in information systems.

The research questions addressed should both be practically relevant and appealing to the general information systems field, and each paper should include a systematic evaluation of the contribution and relate this contribution to related scientific work.

Papers are evaluated in terms of originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity.

Submissions for full papers must not exceed 15 pages (including the list of references) in the final camera-ready paper style. The program chairs may decide to accept some of the submissions as short papers (which would then need to be shortened to 8 pages).

Submitted papers must be written in English, laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions, and be submitted in electronic form in PDF format.

Each accepted paper must have one of its authors registered for the conference before the
camera-ready deadline. The conference organizers reserve the right to remove 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 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-
