RESEARCH CHALLENGES in INFORMATION SCIENCE<br>
***<br>Date and Location: 29-31 May, 2013, Paris, FRANCE<br> <a href="http://rcis-conf.com/" target="_blank">http://rcis-conf.com/</a><br>======================================================<br>
<br><br>RCIS 2013 is a conference of RCIS Conference Series and is sponsored by IEEE France section.<br>=============================================================================================<br><br>SCOPE AND TOPICS<br>
The Seventh International Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN
INFORMATION SCIENCE aims at providing an international forum for
scientists, researchers, engineers and developers from a wide range of
information science areas to exchange ideas and approaches in this
evolving field. While presenting research findings and state-of-art
solutions, you are especially invited to share experiences on new
research challenges in these main topics:<br>
<br> • Information System Engineering<br> • Requirements Engineering<br> • Database and Information System Integration<br> • Data Management<br> • Information Search and Discovery<br> • Software Testing<br>
• Human-Computer Interaction<br> • Web Information Systems <br> • Grid Computing and Cloud Computing<br> • Social Computing<br> • User Centred Approaches<br> • Decision Information Systems<br> • Knowledge Management<br>
• Knowledge Discovery from Data <br> • Business Process Analysis, Modelling and Design<br> • Business Applications<br> • Information Security Risk<br> • Information and Value Management<br><br>Papers
may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors
should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are also
acceptable, provided they fit in one of the conference main topics.<br>
<br>CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND BEST PAPERS<br>Papers that have already
been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or
journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2013. Authors
are invited to submit papers in English. Each submitted paper will have
to be associated to one of the four following categories:<br>
<br> • Technical solution papers present solutions that are novel or
significantly improve existing solutions. A technical solution paper
must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution. Results
must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in
later research (12 pages). <br>
• Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate
proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies,
experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The
research method must be sound and appropriate (12 pages). <br>
• Industrial practice and experience papers present problems or
challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories,
or report on industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described
and its context must be given (12 pages). <br>
• Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral students only and are related to research work in progress (6 pages). <br>
• Poster papers as well as Demo papers aim to gather researchers in a
forum to showcase their work and obtain feedback on on-going research
from knowledgeable conference attendees (2 pages).<br>
<br>The submission site address is <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2013" target="_blank">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2013</a><br><br>By
submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them
will register to the conference and present the paper. Only papers that
have been presented by their authors during the conference will be
published in IEEE Proceedings.<br>
<br>Authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing
process will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal.<br><br>Since
Proceedings will be published with the IEEE Conference Publications
Program through IEEE Xplore digital library, paper submissions must be
formatted using the IEEE 2-column format (see Conference Templates, <br>
<a href="http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html" target="_blank">http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a>). They should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages and be submitted in PDF format. Please use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool (<a href="http://www.pdf-express.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pdf-express.org/</a>)
to convert your source file into IEEE Xplore compliant PDF File or to
check if your own PDF file is IEEE Xplore compliant. IEEE PDF eXpress is
a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE
Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that
authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check
function). The conference ID for IEEE PDF eXpress tool will be provided
soon on the RCIS 2013 web site. It is important to note that submitting a
file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file,
you must still submit your final paper through online submission.<br>
