CALL FOR PAPERS

The goal of RCIS is to bring together scientists, researchers, engineers 
and practitioners from a wide range of information science fields and 
provide opportunities for knowledge sharing and dissemination. RCIS has 
become a recognised conference on research challenges in information 
sciences. Organised for the 11th time in a row, RCIS 2017 will be held 
from May 10-12, 2017, in Brighton, United Kingdom.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
At RCIS 2017, among other regular topics, a special attention will be 
given to the special topic ìSecurity and Privacy for Information 
Scienceî. Information plays a central part in almost every aspect of 
human life. With the advent of technologies both at hardware level (e.g. 
smart phones and mobile devices), and software level (e.g. cloud 
computing, big data), which support the collection, storage and analysis 
of information at any time and at any place, organisations, industry, 
governments but also individuals are able to access and share 
information like never before. However, although there is information 
that everyone is willing to share, there is also sensitive and 
confidential information that needs to remain private and secure, such 
as medical records, bank accounts, military plans, but also information 
that individuals consider private, such as photos, videos, and so on. 
This yearís RCIS theme aims to explore the role of information science 
models, tools and methods that support security and privacy.

RCIS welcomes submissions from a diverse spectrum of information 
science. The list of themes and topics includes, but is not limited to, 
the following themes and topics:

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for 
other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at 
RCIS 2017. Papers should be in English and must be associated to one of 
the following categories:
* 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, and 
results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate 
them in later research. Maximum page count is 12.
* Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate 
proposed solutions through scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, 
experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The 
research method must be sound and appropriate. Maximum page count is 12.
* Industrial practice and experience papers present problems or 
challenges encountered in practice, describe success or failure stories, 
or report on industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described 
and its context must be given. Maximum page count is 12.
* Work in progress papers present relevant preliminary results that may 
not have been fully validated yet. The work presented should be advanced 
enough as to show its contribution and significance. Maximum page count 
is 6.
The submission site address is 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2017
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of 
them will register to the conference and present the paper. It is 
expected that at least one author will register for each accepted paper. 
Only papers that have been presented by their authors during the 
conference will be published as part of the IEEE Proceedings.
Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to 
a special issue of one of the following journals: International Journal 
of Information System Modeling and Design (IGI), or Complex Systems 
Informatics and Modeling Quarterly.
Accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE for publication in IEEE Xplore 
digital library using the IEEE 2-column format 
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). 
In case you wish to format your paper according to this template you may 
use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool (http://www.pdf-express.org/) to convert 
your source file into an 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 the IEEE PDF eXpress can be found on 
the RCIS 2017 web site. It is important to note that submitting a file 
to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation or checking of a compliant PDF 
file and does not work as a submission; you must still submit your final 
paper through the submission site indicated above. For more information 
about how to use IEEE PDF eXpress, please see 
http://rcis-conf.com/rcis2017/express.php.
