Besides the works on social network analysis and its application in the field of Information Science, RCIS welcomes submissions from any domain of Information Science. The list of interested topics includes, but is not limited to:
CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND BEST PAPERS
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2014. Authors are invited to submit papers in English. Each submitted paper will have to be associated to one of the following categories.
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).
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).
Work in progress papers present interesting preliminary results that may not have been fully validated yet. The work presented should be advanced enough to show its contribution and significance (6 pages).
Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral students only and are related to research work in progress (6 pages).
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).
The submission site address is https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2014
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them will register to the conference and present the paper (at least one registration for each accepted paper). Only papers that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in IEEE Proceedings.
Authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing process will be invited to submit an extended version to special issues of journals including the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (IGI).
Since papers will be submitted to IEEE for publication in IEEE Xplore digital library, paper submissions must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format . They should be limited to a number of pages as indicated above for each type of the submission and submitted in PDF format. Please use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool (http://www.pdf- express.org/) 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 2014 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.
