Special Sessions
Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference. The proceedings are 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.
Symposia proposals are accepted until:
May 27, 2026
If you wish to propose a new Special Session please kindly fill out and submit this

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.

Scope
CoopIS tutorials introduce general or special topics in cooperative information systems and relevant neighboring areas. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still be useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to participants. 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.
