Call For Papers - CFP

The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing current research on conceptual modeling for computer-supported and networked applications. The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as: theories of concepts and ontologies underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations.

Topics of Interest

We solicit submission of original research, as well as experience and vision papers from both researchers and practitioners. We welcome any topic where conceptual modeling is a or the major theme.

Specific examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to, conceptual modeling as applied to:

Information Modeling Concepts, including Ontologies

Logical, Cognitive and Ontological Foundations of Conceptual Modeling

Conceptual Modeling for Web Information Systems

Quality and Metrics of Conceptual Models

Empirical Studies of Conceptual Modeling

Business Process Modeling

Conceptual Modeling for Enterprise Architectures and Service-Oriented Architectures

Conceptual Modeling and the Semantic Web

Semi-structured Data and XML

Management and Maintenance of Very Large Conceptual Models

Integration of Conceptual Models and Database Schemas

Information Retrieval, Filtering, Classification, Summarization, and Visualization

Methodologies and Tools for Conceptual Design

Evaluation and Comparisons of Conceptual Models and Modeling Methods

Requirements Engineering

Reuse, Patterns, and Object-Oriented Design

Reverse Engineering, and Roundtrip Engineering

Conceptual Change and Schema Evolution

Management of Integrity Constraints

Active Concepts in Conceptual Modeling

Spatial, Temporal, and Multimedia Aspects in Conceptual Models

Conceptual Models at Runtime

Metadata, its Interpretation and Usage

Conceptual Models and Knowledge Management Systems

Data warehousing, Data Mining, and Business Intelligence

Other Advanced and Cross-Disciplinary Applications of Conceptual Models

Submission Guidelines

Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series, authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style.

See http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. The page limit for submitted papers is 14. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or exceeding the page limit will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected.

The final, camera-ready version must not exceed 14 pages to avoid page charges.

A paper submitted to ER 2011 may not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for ER 2011.

Submission to ER 2011 will be electronically via EasyChair. Authors are asked to submit an abstract first, and then to upload the full paper.
