Scope of Conference
There has been a dramatic impact from trends of increased processing power, storage capacity, network bandwidth, interconnectivity, and mobility of computing devices. As processes and interactions in this environment grow more complex, proper design becomes more important. Conceptual modeling continues to have a vital role in advanced information systems development, but new techniques will be required to deal with the challenges facing developers.
The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling provides a forum for presenting and discussing current research and applications in which conceptual modeling is the major emphasis. We especially invite forward-looking and innovative contributions that identify promising areas for future conceptual modeling research.
