A technical solution<br>paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution, and<br>results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them<br>in follow-up research. <br><br><b>Evaluation papers (max 16 pages Springer)</b> evaluate existing problem<br>situations or validate proposed solutions through scientific means, i.e., by<br>empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, mathematical<br>proofs, etc. The research method must be sound and appropriate. <br><br><b>Industrial practice and experience papers (max 16 pages Springer)<br></b>thoroughly present problems or challenges encountered in practice,<br>elaborate on success or failure with existing approaches, or report on<br>industrial practice (e.g., methods and tools). A paper in this category shall<br>provide a clear context, detail the problem or the industrial practice, and<br>explain the lessons learned.<br><br><b>Work in progress papers (max 8 pages Springer)</b> present relevant<br>preliminary results across the spectrum of information science. These<br>papers can either present a novel technical solution, or report on a<br>preliminary evaluation of a technique.<br><br>Please note that the maximum length of the paper includes references, appendices, etc.<br><br>The submission site is <a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IFRoaXJkIENhbGwgZm9yIFBhcGVycwk0MjMJTGlzdHMJMTQ0CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.easychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Drcis2020">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2020</a> .<br><u><br></u>By submitting a paper, the authors agree that at least one of them will<br>register to the conference and present the paper.
