Types of contributions
We invite four types of original and scientific papers:
- Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical, methodological or
conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical paper should clearly describe the
situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested
and the potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution.
- Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed solutions
with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal
analyses, mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices in industry
also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation presented in the paper as well as its
causal or logical properties must be clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate.
- Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice, relate success and failure
stories, or report on industrial practice. The focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an
in-depth analysis of 'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be given.
Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice.
- Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or approaches, in order to face
to a generic situation arising because of new ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges.
They must describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods, tools, ways of reasoning,
or meta-models are inadequate. They must rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence
and correctness to addressing the identified situation.
Submission conditions
Papers should be submitted in PDF format
The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to
Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices.
Submissions not conforming to the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of the
conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found
here . Three to five keywords characterising
the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.
