SCOPE

The Tool Demonstration track at CoopIS 2026 provides a forum for presenting innovative tools and systems relevant to Cooperative Information Systems. The goal of this track is to showcase practical implementations, prototypes, and platforms that demonstrate the applicability of research results in real-world settings.

The guiding theme of the 32nd edition is: “Information Systems in the AI Era”. The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, and Agentic AI into information systems is enabling new classes of intelligent tools for data processing, decision-making, and system automation.

Submissions are expected to demonstrate working systems, prototypes, or tools that provide novel functionalities, support practical use cases, or advance the state of the art in Cooperative Information Systems.

ContactSecretariat


Tool Demo submissions will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
  • Relevance to CoopIS topics
  • Novelty and usefulness of the tool
  • Technical quality and soundness
  • Clarity of presentation
  • Demonstration quality and feasibility
  • Tool Demo Track Format
Accepted papers will include a live demonstration during the conference, allowing participants to interact with the tool and discuss its features with the authors.

PUBLICATIONS

After thorough reviewing by the Tool Demo-Track program committee, all accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book. 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-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines The conference proceedings 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.
