Organized for the 14th time in a row, RCIS 2020 will be<br>held from May 20-22, 2020, in Limassol, Cyprus.<br><br>RCIS 2020 features a posters & demos track to showcase prototypes and new<br>research ideas in Information Science. This track provides a forum for<br>researchers and practitioners to present their work, interact with<br>conference participants, and obtain feedback on on-going research. We invite<br>two types of submissions:<br><br>• Posters are intended to convey a research result and are not advertisements<br>for commercial software packages. While posters need not describe<br>completed work, they should report on research for which at least some<br>preliminary results are available.<br><br>• Demonstrations should directly and actively involve the exhibition and<br>display of tools/prototypes and associated materials that illustrate research<br>work in progress and serve as ground for discussion of research ideas.<br><br><br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br><br>RCIS aims to bring together scientists, researchers, engineers and<br>practitioners from a wide range of information science fields and to provide<br>opportunities for knowledge sharing and dissemination. RCIS 2020 will<br>continue paying attention to traditional topics at the conference; in addition,<br>we solicit submissions aligned the special theme of Information Science in the<br>Days of Artificial Intelligence. We understand AI in a broad sense, including<br>machine learning, self-adaptation, logic-based reasoning, automation,<br>agents and multiagent systems, natural language processing, etc. RCIS<br>welcomes posters and demos submissions from any domain of Information<br>Science. The list of interested topics includes, but is not limited to:<br><br><u>Information Systems and their Engineering<br></u>• Requirements Engineering<br>• Software Testing<br>• Information Security and Risk<br>• Method Engineering<br><br><u>User-Oriented Approaches<br></u>• Social Computing and Social Network Analysis<br>• User-Centred Design<br>• Collaborative Computing<br>• Human Factors in Information Systems <br><br><u>Data and Information Management<br></u>• Databases and Information<br>• Information Search and Discovery<br>• Conceptual Modelling and Ontologies<br><br><u>Business Process Management<br></u>• Business Process Engineering and Reengineering<br>• Process Mining<br>• Enterprise Engineering<br><br><u>Domain-specific IS Engineering<br></u>• E-Health, e-Government, e-Commerce, ...<br>• Industry 4.0<br>• Web-Based Applications and Services<br>• Smart Cities <br><br><u>Data Science<br></u>• Big Data & Business Analytics<br>• Decision Information Systems<br>• Knowledge Management<br>• Knowledge Discovery from Data<br><br><u>Information Infrastructures<br></u>• Cyber-Physical Systems<br>• Web Information Systems<br>• Grid Computing and Cloud Computing<br>• Internet of Things<br>• Pervasive and Mobile Computing<br><br><u>Reflective Research and Practice<br></u>• Research Methodologies in Information Science<br>• Impact of Information on the Enterprise and the Individual<br>• Lifecycle Models<br>• Design Science and Rationale<br><br><br>RCIS STEERING COMMITTEE<br><br>Saïd Assar; Marco Bajec; Pericles Loucopoulos; Haralambos Moratidis;<br>Selmin Nurcan; Oscar Pastor; Jolita Ralyté; Colette Rolland.<br><br><br>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES<br><br>Posters and demonstrations proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file<br>with no more than 6 pages in Springer LNCS/LNBIP format<br>(<u><a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkxNHRoIEludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgQ29uZmVyZW5jZSBvbiBSZXNlYXJjaCBDaGFsbGVuZ2VzIGluIEluZm9ybWF0aW9uIFNjaWVuY2UgKFJDSVMgMjAyMCk6IEZpcnN0IENhbGwgZm9yIFBvc3RlcnMgYW5kIERlbW9zCTQyNglMaXN0cwkxNDQJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fcomputer-science%2Flncs%2Fconference-proceedings-guidelines">https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines</a></u>)<br>including references and appendices.

The layout may consist of several individual sheets of paper or a<br>monolithic large sheet.<br><br><u>Demos Presentation<br></u>Authors of accepted demos will have a chance to present their material to<br>conference attendees during the posters and demos session. Authors of<br>demonstrations are expected to be available to present, describe and discuss<br>the work behind the tool/prototype during the session.<br><br>Authors should bring to the session the material they need to present the<br>demo. Any special request should be communicated sufficiently in advance<br>and agreed with the conference local organizing committee.<br><br>By submitting a poster or demo paper, authors implicitly agree that at least<br>one of them register to the conference and present the poster or the demo<br>(at least one separate registration for each accepted paper, poster or demo).<br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br><br>• Posters and Demos submission deadline: February 14, 2020 (AoE)<br>• Notification to authors and registration opening: March 15, 2020<br>• Author registration deadline for all paper types: March 31, 2020<br>• Camera-ready copy deadline for all paper types: March 31, 2020<br>• Conference: May 20-22, 2020<br><br> <br>CONFERENCE COMMITTEES<br><br><u>General Chairs<br></u>• George A.
