2009CALL FOR PAPERSTHE 19th EUROPEAN - JAPANESE CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION MODELLING AND KNOWLEDGE BASES Maribor, Slovenia June 1-5, 2009 Local www-pages: http://lpt.uni-mb.si/EJC2009/ OBJECTIVE: Information modelling is becoming more and more important topic for researchers, designers, and users of information systems. The amount and complexity of information itself, the number of abstraction levels of information, and the size of databases and knowledge bases are continuously growing. Conceptual modelling is one of the sub-areas of information modelling. The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from different areas of computer science and other disciplines, who have a common interest in understanding and solving problems on information modelling and knowledge bases, as well as applying the results of research to practice. We also aim to recognize and study new areas on modelling and knowledge bases to which more attention should be paid. Therefore philosophy and logic, cognitive science, knowledge management, linguistics and management science are relevant areas, too. In the conference, there will be three categories of presentations, i.e. full papers, short papers and position papers..TOPICS: Modelling of information is necessary in developing information systems. Information is acquired from many sources, by using various methods and tools. It must be recognized, conceptualized, and conceptually organized efficiently so that users can easily understand and use it. Modelling is needed to understand, explain, organize, predict, and reason on information. It also helps to master the role and functions of components of information systems. Modelling can be performed with many different purposes in mind, at different levels, and by using different notions and different background theories. It can be made by emphasising users' conceptual understanding of information on a domain level, on an algorithmic level, or on representation levels. On each level, the objects and structures used on them are different, and different rules govern the behavior on them. Therefore the notions, rules, theories, languages, and methods for modelling on different levels are also different. It will be useful if we can develop theories and methodologies for modelling, to be used in different situations, because databases, knowledge bases, and repositories in knowledge management systems, developed on the basis of models and used to technically store information, are growing day by day. In this conference the interest is focused on modelling of information, and one of the central topics might be modelling of time. Scientific or technical papers of high quality are sought on topics including, but not limited to the following. The highest priority will be given to papers which are strongly related to different aspects of modelling.1. Theoretical and Philosophical Basis of Concept Modelling and Conceptual ModellingInformation recognition, conceptualisation, and concept formation Properties of concepts, systems of concepts, and theories of concept systems Subjective concepts and collective concepts Conceptual change and time, ontology of time Concept integration and integration of modeling paradigms Description of concepts, views, and viewpoint dynamics 2. Conceptual Modelling and Information Requirements Specification (IRS) Ontologies, conceptual modelling, and natural language in IRS Conceptual information requirements specification for information systems Conceptual modelling for knowledge management Languages, tools and methods for conceptual modelling Methods and systems for developing and using conceptual information Methodologies for ontology development, maintenance, and integration Conceptual modelling of time 3. Conceptual Models of Intelligent Activities Cognitive strategies for model construction Conceptual modelling and problem solving Conceptual modelling of temporal constructs, identity and change Meta-modelling in the model building process Relationships between knowledge management and problem solving The ontology of social reality and the modelling process of social reality 4. Collections of Data, Knowledge, and Descriptions of Concepts Knowledge managemet for conceptual modelling and IRS Conceptual modelling in spatial or temporal databases, or both Active database systems and active knowledge base systems Modelling methods, design methodologies and tools Collaborative knowledge management Modelling, Using and Managing Context Context Computing 5. Human-Computer Interaction and Modelling Conceptual models as interfaces of systems, data bases and knowledge bases, Ontology for human-computer interaction, including time Metadata and knowledge management for human-computer interaction Cognition problems in large conceptual schemata Modelling in multimedia information systems 6. Software Engineering and Modelling Design and use of concept definition libraries, design patterns, frameworks Architectures of meta-models for information systems, Modelling software engineering processes UML, ORM, Petri-nets, and other formalisms as modelling tools Modelling of multi-agent systems - modelling in multi-agent systems 7. Applications Enterprise modelling and strategic concept development Business-process modeling Modelling global information systems Modelling for mobile information systems Conceptual modeling of information systems for virtual organizations Modelling in the WWW systems and conceptual models for web data IMPORTANT DATES:Submission deadline January14th, 2009. The acceptance letters for all types of contributions will be sent by email by March 18th, 2009. In the case of acceptance, you are expected to send your final paper for inclusion in the conference pre-proceedings to arrive no later than April 16th, 2009. Final version of the papers will be published after the conference as book of journal papers by IOS Press (Amsterdam) in the Series of the "Frontiers on Artificial Intelligence" for international distribution. Improved papers must be sent by Aug. 31st in 2009, after the conference. Each of the position papers is reviewed in the presentation and the improved version by Program Committee, whether or not it can be accepted as the final journal print FORMAT OF THE SUBMISSION: Send the paper electronicallyaccording to the instructions for registering, formatting and submitting on the page:http://www.pori.tut.fi/ejc/author_information.htmlThe submission must be original, and must not be submitted anywhere else, or already accepted by any other conference or journal. The selection of papers is made on the basis of review, by the program committee. Acceptance of papers will be based on the originality of work, on the suitability of the topic to the conference, and on the overall quality of your submission. Papers may be submitted in the following categories:SCIENTIFIC / TECHNICAL PAPER: You may submit your paper either as a full paper, (max. 20 pages), or as a short paper (of max. 8 pages).POSITION PAPER: Research projects of any scale are invited to illustrate innovative concepts, theories, prototypes, or experiences. Your position paper (work-in-progress) should be no longer than 5 pages.The pre-print will be distributed in the conference. The final proceedings including the papers presented in the conference will be distributed after the conference and published by IOS Press (Amsterdam) for international distribution.IMPORTANTPlease use only "English fonts" in your paper, and include all the fonts you used. No extra hidden codes, nor any other features that are specific to a special computer (or language) environment should be included in any form. Otherwise reviewers may not be able to open and read your paper. Once a submitted paper is found to be unreadable, the reviewing process may be stopped automatically without asking the second submission.WORKING PRINCIPLES OF THE CONFERENCE: The total number of participants is limited to 50. The authors present their papers at the conference. The papers (both full and short), position papers and poster outlines are included in the preprints. The final text of the papers can be polished for publication after the conference. Only actually presented papers will be published in the final journal print. The final journal papers will be published through an international publisher. The total number of participants is limited to 50. The authors present their papers at the conference.
