The International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems is an established international event for presenting and discussing scientific contributions about technical, economical, and societal aspects of distributed information systems at scale. The guiding theme of this 31st conference is "Trustworthy Information Systems", with a particular focus on the following areas:
- Topic 1: Knowledge Graphs and Data, Information, and Knowledge Engineering
- Topic 2: Inductive Learning, Machine-Learning and Knowledge Discovery
- Topic 3: Process Analytics and Technology
- Topic 4: Semantic Interoperability and Open Standards
- Topic 5: Human-centric Security and Privacy in Information Systems
- Topic 6: Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems and Digital Twins
- Topic 7: Architecture and Management of Information Systems
- Topic 8: Human Aspects and Social Interaction in Information Systems
- Topic 9: Services and Cloud in Information Systems
- Topic 10: Applications of AI augmented Information Systems
- Topic 11: Software Engineering for Information Systems
For a detailed description of these topics, please see the conference Web site at https://coopis.scitevents.org/

===========
Submissions
===========
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not under review for any other conference, workshop, or journal. The contributions should address research questions that relate to one of the topics listed above.

We particularly encourage:

1. Contributions that introduce and evaluate technological innovations (e.g., new techniques, tools, methods or software).
2. Empirical studies (e.g. quantitative data on the effects of novel approaches in technical, social, or economical terms).
3. Systematic surveys of emerging technologies and competing paradigms.
4. Case studies of the trustworthiness of information systems in various application areas.

The research questions addressed should both be practically relevant and appealing to the general information systems field, and each paper should include a systematic evaluation of the contribution and relate this contribution to related scientific work.


Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. Papers are evaluated in terms of originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity.

Submissions for full papers must not exceed 18 pages (including the list of references) in the final camera-ready paper style. The program chairs may decide to accept some of the submissions as short papers (which would then need to be shortened to 11 pages).

Submitted papers must be written in English, laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions, and be submitted in electronic form in PDF format.

Each accepted paper must have one of its authors registered for the conference before the camera-ready deadline. The conference organizers reserve the right to remove a paper from the proceedings if no author is officially registered by the camera-ready deadline. Moreover, only papers that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in the conference proceedings.

The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Author instructions can be found at:
