RCIS aims to bring together scientists, researchers, engineers, and practitioners from information science in a wide sense. First arranged in 2007, the RCIS conference series aims to provide opportunities for knowledge sharing and dissemination in areas such as information systems and their engineering, user-oriented approaches, data and information management, enterprise management and engineering, domain-specific IS engineering, data science, information infrastructures, and reflective research and practice.
“Advancing Information Science and Information Systems Quality in the Era of Complexity”
For the 2025 RCIS conference, the chosen theme underscores the critical importance of quality in the development, implementation, and management of information systems. As technology and data continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the complexity of systems increases, making the assurance of high-quality more complex and crucial than ever. The emphasis on quality is essential not only for meeting the increasing expectations of end-users but also for addressing the growing challenges of security threats and compliance requirements. This theme invites participants to reflect on innovative practices, tools, and frameworks that can be adopted to propel the quality of information systems into the next decade, ensuring they are reliable and effective amidst the intricacies of modern technological landscapes.

The proceedings of RCIS 2025 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes
in Business Information Processing series. Papers shall be formatted according
to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP conference proceedings template (for LaTeX and Word):
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or
journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2025. Papers should be in English and
must be associated to one of the following categories:
Technical solution papers
(max 16 pages Springer) present solutions that are novel or significantly improve existing
approaches. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary validation of the proposed
solution, and results must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them
in follow-up research.
Evaluation papers
(max 16 pages Springer) evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions
through 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
(max 16 pages Springer) thoroughly present problems or challenges encountered in practice,
elaborate on success or failure with existing approaches, or report on industrial practice
(e.g., methods and tools). A paper in this category shall provide a clear context, detail
the problem or the industrial practice, and explain the lessons learned.
Please note that the maximum length of the paper includes references, appendices, etc. In addition to the main research track, RCIS 2025 invites submissions to the following tracks: Forum, Doctoral Consortium, Research Projects, Journal First, Tutorials, and Workshops.
Proposals must be submitted using the conference submission site EasyChair, track “RCIS 2025 Main Conference”.
By submitting a paper, the authors agree that at least one of them will register to the conference and present the paper (one paper=one registration).
We adopt a single-blind review format, meaning that the author names are included in the paper itself under the paper title.
