CALL FOR PAPERS for the 12th IEEE International Conference
on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN INFORMATION SCIENCE
29-31 May 2018, Nantes, France
Paper submission deadline: February 2nd, 2018
RCIS has become a recognized conference on research challenges in information
science. The goal of RCIS is to bring together scientists, researchers, engineers
and practitioners from a wide range of information science fields and provide
opportunities for knowledge sharing and dissemination. Organized for the 12th
time in a row, RCIS 2018 will be held from May 29-31, 2018.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
At RCIS 2018, among other regular topics a particular attention will be given
to the special topic: Enterprise of the future.
This theme is intended to explore how Information Science, in terms of methods
and tools, can help enterprises and organisations face a wide range of
challenges, thanks to the power of Information. Indeed, enterprises need to be
able to continually innovate as fast as (or faster than) their highly
fluctuating environments and markets. However, complexity of information representation
and exploitation, decision-making processes at multiple levels and their
important often unforeseen - effects, drastically impact enterprises agility
and innovation. How does Information Science currently influence the future of
enterprises and how can it influence it in a more efficient and innovative way?
What are the main strategic challenges? How can Information Sciences strengthen
and become an unavoidable and fundamental pillar of the Enterprise of the
Future?
RCIS welcomes submissions from a diverse spectrum: the list of themes and
topics includes, but is not limited to, the following themes and topics:
Information Systems and their Engineering
Requirements Engineering

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other
conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2018.
Papers should be in English and must be associated to one of the 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, and results must be stated
clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in later research.
Maximum page count is 12.
- Evaluation papers 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. Maximum page count is 12.
- Industrial practice and experience papers present problems or challenges encountered
in practice, describe success or failure stories, or report on industrial
practice. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given.
Maximum page count is 12.
- Work in progress papers present relevant preliminary results that may not
have been fully validated yet. The work presented should be advanced enough as
to show its contribution and significance. Maximum page count is 6.
The submission site address is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2018
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them will
register to the conference and present the paper. It is expected that at least
one author will register for each accepted paper. Only papers that have been
presented by their authors during the conference will be published as part of
the IEEE Proceedings.
Accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE for publication in IEEE Xplore
digital library using the IEEE 2-column format (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
