SCOPE

Coopis 2026 invites Journal-First paper presentations. Authors who have recently published papers in journals (from 2025 onwards) on topics relevant to Coopis are invited to submit their papers for consideration. 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. The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of cooperative Information Systems, including research and practice in the areas defined in the Call for Papers.


This presentation modality is intended to give authors of high-quality journal publications the opportunity to showcase their work, increase their potential impact, and engage in discussions with the community in a scheduled session during the conference.

A submission to the CoopIS 2026 call for journal-first paper presentations must adhere to the following criteria:

  • The associated journal paper must have been accepted for publication in a journal no earlier than January 1st, 2025.

  • The paper is in the scope of the conference.

  • The paper does not exclusively report a secondary study, e.g., a systematic review, mapping study, or survey.

  • The paper reports completely new research results and/or presents novel contributions that significantly extend prior work and were not previously reported.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors should submit their 1-page proposals through: https://coopis.scitevents.org, Track Coopis 2026 Journal First, including:

  • paper title
  • abstract
  • full reference with DOI
  • a description of the relevance of the paper for the Coopis community

All submissions must be through the online submission platform PRIMORIS (https://www.insticc.org/Primoris/)

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper Submission: July 30, 2026
Authors Notification: August 13, 2026
Camera Ready and Registration: September 18, 2026

EVALUATION AND SELECTION

Papers will be selected by the track chairs for presentation in a conference session. Selection will focus on the paper’s alignment with the conference topics, relevance to the community, and available space in the Coopis program. Since published papers have already undergone rigorous review processes, detailed technical reviews will not be performed.

Authors will be invited to present their paper at CoopIS 2026 after it is checked that the paper satisfies the above-listed criteria. As the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the journals, they will not be reviewed again for technical content. In the case that an exceptionally high number of submissions is received, not all papers will be selected. Priority will be given to the papers that:

  • Increase opportunities for authors to attend CoopIS who might not otherwise attend. In particular, priority will be given to papers whose specified presenter is not presenting any other journal-first or main research-track papers.
  • Best fit the technical program, offering a balance across the conference topics: preference will be given to topics that are under-represented in the other tracks.
  • If there is a further need to select from papers with the same priority, then they will be randomly selected. In this case, authors will be informed that their presentation proposals were not accepted solely due to the need to resort to this random selection criterion.

By submitting a proposal, the authors declare that:

  • The work is not an extended version of a paper that was already presented at a conference; it was not presented in journal-first tracks at other venues, and it is not presently under consideration for presentation at another event.
  • At least one author of the paper commits to registering and presenting their paper at the conference. Papers will not be part of the Coopis proceedings; they will be listed in the program, with links to the original publication made available to the ER audience.

 

Please see the Call for Papers page (https://coopis.scitevents.org/CallForPapers.aspx) for a detailed description of the relevant topics for Coopis 2026.
