CoopIS 2025: Call for Papers

The International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems (CoopIS) facilitates the cooperation between individuals, organisations, smart devices, and systems of systems, by providing flexible, scalable and intelligent services to enterprises, public institutions and user communities.

Scope

Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) facilitate the cooperation between individuals, organisations, smart devices, and systems of systems, by providing flexible, scalable and intelligent services to enterprises, public institutions and user communities. As a result, people and smart devices can interact, share information and work together across physical barriers. The domain of CIS integrates research results from different related computing areas, such as: distributed systems, coordination technologies, collaborative decision making, enterprise architecture, business process management and conceptual modelling.

The guiding theme of this 31st conference is "Trustworthy Information Systems".

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for any other conference, workshop, or journal. Submissions for full papers must not exceed 18 pages (including the list of references) in the final camera-ready paper style. The program chairs may decide to accept some of the submissions as short papers (which would then need to be shortened to 11 pages).

Publications

All accepted complete papers will be published by Springer in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue in the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems.
