ER 2015 - 2nd Call for Workshops

http://er2015.dsv.su.se/call-for-papers/call-for-workshops/
 
 
The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER) is the leading
international forum for presenting and discussing current research and
applications in which the major emphasis is on conceptual modeling and
its applications. 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.
 
 
ER 2015 will host a number of workshops addressing different areas
related to conceptual modeling that complement the main ER 2014
conference. Workshops are intended to serve as an intensive
collaborative forum for exchanging innovative ideas in conceptual
modeling. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit
proposals for highly interactive workshops focusing on either in-depth
analysis or broad-ranging approaches to emerging topics in conceptual
modeling. We also welcome workshop proposal addressing the case of
applying conceptual modeling to specific industries.
