The workshop is designed as an interactive forum combining research discussion and practical experience.
It brings together participants to present results, share empirical and design experiences, and discuss
ongoing challenges related to social and environmental sustainability in Information Systems. The format
emphasizes exchange and collective reflection rather than formal paper sessions. Interactive,
demo-oriented sessions will complement discussions, enabling participants to illustrate methods, tools,
and systems and to engage in focused, forum-style debates.
The workshop will be organized as a half-day event, with the possibility of extension if the number of
accepted proposals requires additional time. The format will remain flexible to accommodate
presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions.
- ยท Presentation-oriented contributions: Submissions describing ongoing research,
early-stage
work, or preliminary results. These contributions should emphasize research questions,
approaches, and initial findings, and are intended to stimulate discussion and feedback.
- Demonstrations of tools and prototypes: Contributions presenting software tools,
systems, or
prototypes. Demonstrations should focus on functionality, design choices, and sustainability-related
aspects, and may include live or recorded demos.
- Practice-based tutorials: Contributions proposing hands-on or experience-driven
tutorials. These
may address methods, frameworks, or practical approaches for designing, evaluating, or improving the
social and environmental sustainability of Information Systems.
The papers of maximum 5 pages length should be submitted through EasyChair at the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=rcis2026
(selecting the WISE Workshop track).
Accepted contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings in the CEUR-WS series.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Requirements elicitation, modeling, and validation for information systems supporting social and
environmental sustainability.
- Quality and non-functional requirements (e.g., transparency, resilience, energy efficiency,
inclusiveness) for sustainable information systems.
- Human-centered interaction design and user experience for sustainability-focused information
systems.
- Data governance, management, privacy, and trust in information systems addressing sustainability
challenges.
- Ethical, legal, and societal implications of sustainability-driven information systems.
- Stakeholder participation and socio-technical alignment in the design of sustainable information
systems.
- Evaluation methods and metrics for assessing environmental impacts of information systems.
- Domain-specific information systems (e.g., health, mobility, tourism) for sustainability.
- Experience-Inspired description of Environmental or Social Sustainability Case study in Information
Systems.
Interdisciplinary contributions combining computer science and fields such as social sciences, environmental
studies, or design research are particularly welcome.
