Renata Guizzardi – författare

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Sciences, RCIS 2022, which took place in Barcelona, Spain, during May 17–20, 2022. It focused on the special theme "Ethics and Trustworthiness in Information Science".

The scope of RCIS is summarized by the thematic areas of information systems and their engineering; user-oriented approaches; data and information management; business process management; domain-specific information systems engineering; data science; information infrastructures, and reflective research and practice.

The 35 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total 100 submissions. The 18 Forum papers are based on 11 Forum submissions, from which 5 were selected, and the remaining 13 were transferred from the regular submissions. The 6 Doctoral Consortium papers were selected from 10 submissions to the consortium. The contributions were organized in topical sections named: Data Science and Data Management; Information Search and Analysis; Business Process Management; Business Process Mining; Digital Transformation and Smart Life; Conceptual Modelling and Ontologies; Requirements Engineering; Model-Driven Engineering; Machine Learning Applications. In addition, two-page summaries of the tutorials can be found in the back matter.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three workshops symposia, held at the 41st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2022, as a virtual event, in October 2022. The 11 papers deal with topics such as foundations; business information systems; advanced and cross-disciplinary applications, conceptual modeling, information systems and knowledge graphs; data/object management; engineering; and experience.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two long-running events held along with the CAiSE conference and related to the areas of enterprise, business-process and information systems modeling:

- the 26th International Conference on Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, BPMDS 2025 and

- the 30th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for Systems Analysis and Development, EMMSAD 2025.

The conferences were taking place in Vienna, Austria, during June 16–17, 2025.

For BPMDS 12 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for publication from a total of 39 submissions. The BPMDS papers deal with a broad range of theoretical and applications-based research in business process modeling, development and support.

For EMMSAD 13 full papers and 3 short papers were accepted from a total of 37 submissions after thorough reviews. EMMSAD focusses on modeling methods for systems analysis and development.
