RCIS has become a recognized conference on research challenges in information sciences. Organized for the 12th time in a row, RCIS 2018 will be held from May 29-31, 2018.

RCIS will feature posters in a poster session and offer the opportunity for demonstrations of tools in a demonstration session. Both sessions will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to showcase their work, to interact with conference participants, and to obtain feedback on on-going research and advanced prototypes and products from knowledgeable conference attendees:

• Posters are intended to convey a research result and are not advertisements for commercial software packages. While posters need not describe completed work, they should report on research for which at least some preliminary results are available.
• Demonstrations should directly and actively involve the exhibition and display of software prototypes, research tools and associated materials that illustrate research work in progress and serve as ground for discussion of research ideas.

At RCIS 2018, among other regular topics a special attention will be given to the special topic: “Enterprise of the future”.

This theme is intended to explore how Information Science, in terms of methods and tools, can help enterprises and organisations face a wide range of challenges, thanks to the power of Information. Indeed, enterprises need to be able to continually innovate as fast as (or faster than) their highly fluctuating environments and markets. However, complexity of information representation and exploitation, decision-making processes at multiple levels and their important –often unforeseen - effects, drastically impact enterprises agility and innovation. How does Information Science currently influence the future of enterprises and how can it influence it in a more efficient and innovative way? What are the main strategic challenges? How can Information Sciences strengthen and become an unavoidable and fundamental pillar of the Enterprise of the Future?

RCIS welcomes posters and demos submissions from any domain of Information Science. The list of interested topics includes, but is not limited to:

Information Systems and their Engineering Requirements Engineering Software Engineering and Testing Model-Driven Engineering Information Systems Development Methods and Method Engineering	User-Oriented Approaches Human-Computer Interaction Social Computing and Social Network Analysis User-Centred Approaches Collaborative Computing Information Science and the Wisdom of the Crowd
Data and Information Management Databases and Information Information Search and Discovery Text Information Extraction and Natural Language processing Conceptual Modelling and Ontologies Information Security and Risk Management Big Data, Right Data	Enterprise Engineering Business Process Engineering and Reengineering Process Mining Enterprise Modeling Information Science within Reengineering Scenarios Context-aware Organisations
Internet of Things E-Everything Web-Based Applications and Services Smart Cities Security and standardization	Business Intelligence Big Data & Business Analytics Decision Information Systems Knowledge Management Knowledge Discovery from Data Information and Value Management
Information Infrastructures Cyber-Physical Systems Web Information Systems Grid Computing and Cloud Computing Internet of Things Pervasive and Mobile Computing	Reflective Research and Practice Research Methodologies in Information Science Impact of Information on the Enterprise and the Individual Lifecycle Models Design Science and Rationale Action Research and Case Studies in Information Science

Posters and demonstrations proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 2 pages. The two pages shall contain an abstract describing the research content of the poster or what is going to be demonstrated, along with the significance of the contribution to IS technologies, title, authors, institutional affiliations and electronic contact information. Proposals that exceed the limit of 2 pages will be rejected without review.

Proposals that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2018. Authors are invited to submit their proposal in English.

The submission site address is https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2018 where you can choose “Posters & Demos papers Section”.

Three members of the program committee will review submissions, and selected proposals will be published in the RCIS’2018 Conference Proceedings published by IEEE Xplore digital library. Consequently, posters and demonstrations, paper submissions for posters and demonstrations must be formatted 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 will soon be found on the RCIS 2018 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 rcis2018/express.php

By submitting a poster or demo paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them register to the conference and present the poster or the demo (at least one registration for each accepted paper, poster or demo). Only posters and demos that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in IEEE Proceedings.
