CALL FOR PAPERS
RCIS 2013
Seventh IEEE International Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES in
INFORMATION SCIENCE
Date and Location: 29-31 May, 2013, Paris, FRANCE
Papers submission deadline: January 27, 2013
IEEE France section. This year, RCIS will be co-located with the 31st
French Conference on Information Systems (INFORSID 2013), a prominent
French scientific event sharing with RCIS the interest on the field of
Information Science.
SCOPE AND TOPICS
--------------------------
The Seventh International Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN
INFORMATION SCIENCE aims at providing an international forum for
scientists, researchers, engineers and developers from a wide range of
information science areas to exchange ideas and approaches in this
evolving field. While presenting research findings and state-of-art
solutions, you are especially invited to share experiences on new
research challenges in these main topics:
- Information System Engineering
- Requirements Engineering
- Database and Information System Integration
- Data Management
- Information Search and Discovery
- Software Testing
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Web Information Systems
- Grid Computing and Cloud Computing
- Social Computing
- User Centred Approaches
- Decision Information Systems
- Knowledge Management
- Knowledge Discovery from Data
- Business Process Analysis, Modelling and Design
- Business Applications
- Information Security Risk
- Information and Value Management
Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although
authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are
also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the conference main topics.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND BEST PAPERS
----------------------------------------------------
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for
other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at
RCIS 2013. Authors are invited to submit papers in English. Each
submitted paper will have to be associated to one of the four following
categories.
- Technical solution papers present solutions that are novel or
significantly improve existing solutions. A technical solution paper
must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution. Results
must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in
later research (12 pages).
- Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate
proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies,
experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The
research method must be sound and appropriate (12 pages).
- Industrial practice and experience papers present problems or
challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories,
or report on industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described
and its context must be given (12 pages).
- Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral students only and are
related to research work in progress (6 pages).
- Poster papers as well as Demo papers aim to gather researchers in a
forum to showcase their work and obtain feedback on on-going research
from knowledgeable conference attendees (2 pages).
The submission site address
ishttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2013
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of
them will register to the conference and present the paper. Only papers
that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be
published in IEEE Proceedings.
Authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing process
will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of the
International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (IGI),
to appear at the end of 2014 (vol. 5 issue 4).
Since Proceedings will be published with the IEEE Conference
Publications Program through IEEE Xplore digital library, paper
submissions must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format (see
Conference Templates,
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
).
They should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages and be submitted in PDF
format. Please use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool
(http://www.pdf-express.org/) to convert your source file into IEEE
Xplore compliant PDF File or to check if your own PDF file is IEEE
Xplore compliant. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE
conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs
(Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves
for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function). The conference ID
for IEEE PDF eXpress tool will be provided soon on the RCIS 2013 web
site. It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress
is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your
final paper through online submission.
