Scope
-----

The amount, complexity and diversity of information held in computer 
systems are constantly on the increase, and so are the requirements 
and challenges to be met for useful access and manipulation of this 
information. Conceptual modelling is fundamental to the development of 
up-to-date information and knowledge-based systems. The conference 
series aims at bringing together experts from all areas of computer 
science and information systems with a common interest in the subject.


Topics
------

APCCM invites contributions addressing current research in conceptual 
modelling as well as experiences, novel applications and future 
challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
  * Business, enterprise, process and services modelling;
  * Concepts, concept theories and ontologies;
  * Conceptual Models for Cloud Computing Applications;
  * Conceptual modelling and user participation;
  * Conceptual Models for Supporting Requirement Engineering;
  * Conceptual modelling for
     - Decision support and expert systems;
     - Digital libraries;
     - E-business, e-commerce and e-banking systems;
     - Health care systems;
     - Knowledge management systems;
     - Mobile information systems;
     - User interfaces; and
     - Web-based systems;
  * Conceptual modelling of semi-structured data and XML;
  * Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data;
  * Conceptual modelling quality;
  * Conceptual models in management science;
  * Design patterns and object-oriented design;
  * Evolution and change in conceptual models;
  * Implementations of information systems;
  * Information and schema integration;
  * Information customisation and user profiles;
  * Information recognition and information modelling;
  * Information retrieval, analysis, visualisation and prediction;
  * Information systems design methodologies;
  * Knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge 
management;
  * Methods for developing, validating and communicating conceptual 
models;
  * Philosophical, mathematical and linguistic foundations of 
conceptual models;
  * Reuse, reverse engineering and reengineering;
  * Models for the Semantic Web; and
  * Software engineering and tools for information systems development.


Submission
----------

APCCM invites papers describing original contributions in all fields 
of conceptual modelling and related areas. Papers should be no more 
than 10 pages in length conforming to the formatting instructions as 
outlined below.

Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, technical 
quality, relevance and presentation. The quality of accepted papers is 
further strengthened by a low acceptance rate of below 30%.

APCCM proceedings will be published by the Australian Computer Society 
(ACS) in the CRPIT Series (http://www.crpit.com). Please note that it 
is CRPIT policy that at least one author of all accepted papers to the 
conferences and workshops in the series would both register and 
present at the event concerned. Failure to do so without a reason 
acceptable to the organisers of the event will result in the paper 
being retrospectively withdrawn from both the proceedings and all 
citation sources.
It is also CRPIT policy that all papers be original and not 
concurrently submitted elsewhere. Once again, we reserve the right to 
retrospectively withdraw a paper from the proceedings if we later find 
this not to be the case.

After the conference, authors of the papers will be invited to submit 
an extended version for publication in a journal to be announced.

Formatting Guidelines: The proceedings of this event will be published 
by the ACS as Volume "Conceptual Modelling 2014" in the CRPIT Series. 
The formatting requirements and resources for authors can be found on 
the CRPIT Authors Page (http://www.crpit.com/AuthorsSubmitting.html) 
together with a list of all upcoming volumes 
(http://www.crpit.com/VolumeIndexU.html).

Electronic Submission: Submission to APCCM 2014 will be electronically 
only via EasyChair. The online submission system can be accessed on 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apccm2014.
