Call for Papers

CoopIS is sponsored by INSTICC – Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication

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. 

CONFERENCE AREAS

Each of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:

1. KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS, DATA ENGINEERING, AND INTELLIGENT KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS
2. INDUCTIVE LEARNING, MACHINE LEARNING, AND TRUSTWORTHY AI
3. INTELLIGENT PROCESS ANALYTICS AND AI-DRIVEN AUTOMATION
4. SEMANTIC INTEROPERABILITY, OPEN STANDARDS, AND DATA ECOSYSTEMS
5. ETHICAL, PRIVACY-PRESERVING, AND SECURE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
6. INTERNET OF THINGS, CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS, AND DIGITAL TWINS
7. ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, AND MANAGEMENT OF AI-ENABLED INFORMATION SYSTEMS
8. HUMAN-CENTRIC AI AND SOCIO-TECHNICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
9. SERVICES, CLOUD IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND DISTRIBUTED AI PLATFORMS
10. APPLICATIONS OF AI-AUGMENTED AND AUTONOMOUS INFORMATION SYSTEMS
11. SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR AI ENGINEERING FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors can submit their work in the form of a complete paper or an abstract, but please note that accepted abstracts are presented but not published in the proceedings of the conference. Complete papers can be submitted as a Regular Paper, representing completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper, portraying a short report of work in progress or an arguable opinion about an issue discussing ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research focused on one of the conference topic areas.

Authors should submit a paper in English, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, addressing one or several of the conference areas or topics. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. To facilitate the double-blind paper evaluation method, authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors, including the authors’ personal details, the acknowledgments section of the paper and any other reference that may disclose the authors’ identity.

When submitting a complete paper please note that only original papers should be submitted. Authors are advised to read INSTICC's ethical norms regarding plagiarism and self-plagiarism thoroughly before submitting and must make sure that their submissions do not substantially overlap work which has been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a journal or another conference with proceedings. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. Authors should also avoid using an excessive number of self-citations and an excessive number of co-authors.

All papers must be submitted through the online submission platform PRIMORIS and should follow the instructions and templates that can be found under Guidelines and Templates. After the paper submission has been successfully completed, authors will receive an automatic confirmation e-mail.

PUBLICATIONS

All accepted complete papers will be published by Springer in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference.
The proceedings will be abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, INSPEC, Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST), Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus and zbMATH. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
