[AISWorld] Call for Workshops - ER 2017, Valencia

[Ulrich Frank]

The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER) is the leading 
international forum for presenting and discussing research and 
applications of conceptual modeling. Topics of interest include 
foundations of conceptual models, theories of concepts, ontology-driven 
conceptual modeling and analysis, methods and tools for developing, 
communicating, consolidating, and evolving conceptual models, and 
techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective 
implementations.
Continuing a long tradition, ER 2017 will host a number of workshops to 
be held in conjunction with the main ER 2017 conference. The workshops 
will serve as an intensive collaborative forum for exchanging innovative 
ideas about conceptual modeling, and for discovering new frontiers for 
its use. We specifically invite proposals for interactive workshops on 
new, emerging, or established topics in conceptual modeling, or its 
application in specific domains. We encourage workshop organizers to 
include activities that provide their participants with a true workshop 
experience.
