RCIS 2008
CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN INFORMATION SCIENCE
JUNE 3-6, 2008, MARRAKECH, MOROCCO
Papers submission deadline: December 15, 2007
http://www.farcampus.com/rcis/
Organized by: EMSI (Ecole Marocaine des Sciences de
l'Ingenieur)
Co-sponsored by: THE IEEE Morocco Section and EMSI
SCOPE AND TOPICS:
The Second International Conference on RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN
INFORMATION SCIENCE (RCIS) aims at providing an international forum for
scientists, researchers, engineers and developers from a wide range of
information science areas. While presenting research findings and state-of-art
solutions, you are especially invited to share experiences on new research
challenges in these main topics:
Databases
Information Systems
WEB Systems
Business Process Modelling, Analysis and Design
Intelligent Agents
Knowledge Management
Ontologies
Knowledge Discovery from Data
Each of these topics areas is expanded on the conference web
page (http://www.farcampus.com/rcis/topics.php).
Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors
should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also
acceptable, provided they fit in one of the conference main topics.
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
publications at RCIS08. Authors are invited to submit papers in English using
the paper format indicated below. Each submitted paper will have to be
associated to one of the four following categories.
Technical solution papers present solutions which are
novel or significantly improve on 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.
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.
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.
Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral
students (only) and are related to research work in progress.
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least
one of them will register to the conference and present the paper. Submitted
papers will be reviewed by the RCIS08 Program Committee based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. A "blind"
paper evaluation method will be used. Therefore authors are kindly requested to
produce and provide the full paper, without any reference to the authors.
The manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper
title, the paper category (Technical solution, Evaluation, Industrial or
Doctoral), an abstract and a list of keywords but no names or contact
details are to be included in any part of the file. Notification of paper
acceptance/rejection will be sent by email. All the accepted papers will be
published in the RCIS08 proceedings.
The authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the
reviewing process will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal.
Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages
in the IEEE 2-column format (see http://www.ieee.org).
All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see
http://www.farcampus.com/rcis/author.php).
