The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER) is the leading
international forum for presenting and discussing current research on
conceptual modeling. The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of
conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as:
theories of concepts underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools
for developing and communicating conceptual models, techniques for
transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and the
impact of conceptual modeling techniques on databases, business strategies
and information systems development.

We solicit submission of original research papers, as well as experience
and vision papers from both researchers and practitioners. Topics of
interests include, but are not restricted to:

  - Foundations and Concept Formalization
  - Big Data
  - NoSQL Databases and Enterprise Business Models
  - Semantic Web, Cloud Computing, and Web Information Systems
  - Enterprise Architectures and Service-Oriented Architectures
  - Quality and Metrics of Conceptual Models
  - Empirical Studies of Conceptual Modeling
  - Ontology Modeling and Deployment
  - Business Process Modeling
  - Semi-structured Data and XML
  - Integration of Conceptual Models and Database Schemas
  - Information Retrieval, Filtering, Classification, Summarization, and
    Visualization
  - Methodologies and Tools for Conceptual Design
  - Requirements Engineering
  - Reuse and Patterns
  - Reverse Engineering and Roundtrip Engineering
  - Schema Evolution and Management of Database Constraints
  - Spatial, Temporal, and Multimedia Aspects in Conceptual Models
  - Metadata and Applications
  - Data Warehousing, Data Mining, and Business Intelligence and
    Analytics
