Cooperative information systems (CIS) are at the core of a digital economy that is dedicated to providing hyper-connected citizens with access to intuitive and sophisticated technology. No longer are commercial applications the only driver of development activities, but wider societal and individual deployment areas are now explored. CIS researchers have for more than two decades studied the nature and requirements of cooperative systems linking latest technologies with hybrid user bases. However, the current opportunity-rich landscape of digital technologies such as mobile and social computing, advanced data analytics, robotic process automation or smart devices has triggered entire new, exciting research questions. In light of this setting, the 23rd International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems took place within the context of the 14th OnTheMove Federated Conferences and Workshops in Rhodes, Greece, in October 2015. This Special Issue features the carefully selected and comprehensively reviewed best papers from this event.

特邀社论：数字时代的合作信息系统

协作信息系统 (CIS) 是数字经济的核心，致力于为高度互联的公民提供直观和复杂的技术。商业应用程序不再是开发活动的唯一驱动力，而是正在探索更广泛的社会和个人部署领域。CIS 研究人员已经研究了 20 多年的合作系统的性质和要求，这些系统将最新技术与混合用户群联系起来。然而，当前机遇丰富的数字技术领域（如移动和社交计算、高级数据分析、机器人流程自动化或智能设备）引发了全新的、令人兴奋的研究问题。鉴于这样的设定，
