*21st International Conference on COOPERATIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CoopIS 2013)*
11-13 Sept 2013, Graz, Austria

Call for Papers
Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) enable, support, and facilitate cooperation between people, organizations, and information systems. CIS provide enterprises and user communities with flexible, scalable and intelligent services to work together in large-scale networking environments. The CIS paradigm integratesseveral technologies: distributed systems technologies (such as middleware, cloud computing), coordination technologies (such as business process management) and integration technologies (such as service oriented computing, semantic web).
In recent years, several innovative technologies have emerged: SaaS, cloud computing, Internet of Service, Internet of Things, Service Oriented Computing, mash-ups, Web Services, Semantic Web and Knowledge Grid. These new technologies have increased the need for a tighter integration of data and knowledge with business processes, workflows as well as with collaboration architectures such as process choreographies leading for example to data- or artifact-centric workflows and business process compliance as well as in finding new ways of analyzing data and processes in a combined manner.Building next generation CIS requires technical breakthroughs as well as dynamic, reliable and secure collaborative information technologies to overcome the tough challenges that traditional rigid distributed systems did not face. A particular challenge in modern enterprises and entire supply chains is providing flexible and real-world aware CIS that enable users to quickly react to environmental changes as well as to evolving needs (e.g., by continuously and dynamically adapting CIS).
CIS applications are heavily distributed and highly coordinated, often exhibiting inter-organizational interaction patterns and requiring distributed access and sharing of computing and information resources. Typically they fall under the categories such as e-Business, e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Health, and e-Science.
The CoopIS conference series has established itself as a major international forum for exchanging ideas and results on scientific research in fields such as computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), middleware, Internet & Web data management, electronic commerce, business process management, agent technologies, and software architectures, to name a few.
As in previous years, CoopIS'13 will be part of a joint event with other conferences, in the context of the OTM ("OnTheMove") federated conferences, covering different aspects of distributed information systems.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers submitted to CoopIS'13 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the program committee, and at least two will be experts from industry in the case of practice reports. All submissions must be in English. Submissions must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready paper style. Submissions must be laid out according to the final camera-ready formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format.
The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html A selection of papers accepted for and presented at CoopIS2013 will be invited for a special issue in the International Journal on Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS), http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcis/ http://www.worldscinet.com/ijcis/. Paper submission site: http://submissions.onthemove-conferences.org/2013/coopis/
Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
