Call for Workshops

CAiSE is the premier conference series on Advanced Information Systems (IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures, and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on topics and provide ample room for discussions of innovative ideas and developments.

CAiSE 2027, the 39th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics, and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.

Workshop organizers are strongly encouraged to focus their events on topics that are not already explicitly addressed by the two co-located working conferences BPMDS and EMMSAD.

Prospective workshop organizers should specify whether they plan an event with Springer LNBIP or CEUR-WS proceedings.

Springer Proceedings Workshops

These workshops are expected to present early results that are promising and that can trigger discussions and further collaborations. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the Springer LNCS/LNBIP format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to Springer’s standards, the overall acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.

CEUR-WS Proceedings Workshops

This type of workshop should emphasize discussions, facilitated by paper presentations revolving around novel ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential to spark discussion, papers will be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication if the preconditions for publication at CEUR-WS.org are met.

Proposal Submission

Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2027

Please select the Author role and the CAISE2027 Workshops Track. Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2027-workshops@easychair.org) is encouraged.

The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their own workshop, eliciting high-quality and relevant submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
