Shaping the Future of Information Systems: Introducing ARIS

EAI ARIS

EAI hereby announces the launch of Advancing Research in Information Systems (ARIS), an Open-Access series that will serve as a premier platform for the dissemination of rigorously peer-reviewed research presented at conferences, workshops, and other scientific events across disciplines. ARIS is a new flagship proceedings series dedicated to the publication of high-quality research in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

The Advancing Research in Information Systems (ARIS) proceedings series marks an exciting new chapter for EAI. ARIS will be dedicated to cutting-edge research with a strong commitment to innovation in the field of information systems. ARIS will showcase high-quality work where emerging and established researchers can contribute to the evolution of the discipline. To put an additional emphasis on connecting research to innovation ARIS is introducing the Early Career Track at all EAI conferences. Publication in this track will be free to encourage fresh perspectives from young researchers and will be invited for additional publication opportunities in EAI journals. Selected articles focusing on application potential will be promoted to EAI’s industry partners.

We hereby invite you to submit a proposal for your existing conference or workshop for publication or propose an Early Career Track at any of the upcoming EAI conferences

With ARIS, EAI not only introduces an innovative new proceedings series, but also reinforces its commitment to scientific progress, inclusivity, and pushing the envelope for the future of research in information systems.

The scope of ARIS is defined as:

Computer Science
Networks and Communications
Security and Safety

A look back at the GameNets conference hosted

at Northwestern University, IL, USA, on March 26-27, 2026

The 14th International Conference on Game Theory for Networks gathered researchers and experts to explore how game-theoretic models can be used to analyze and optimize complex networked systems, ranging from wireless and vehicular communications to resource allocation and network security.

The conference featured insightful talks, poster sessions, and discussions on applying game theory to modern network challenges and distributed systems.
