The series of European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and 
Knowledge Bases (EJC) originally started as a co-operation initiative 
between Japan and Finland in 1982. The practical operations were then 
organized by professor Setsuo Ohsuga in Japan and professors Hannu 
Kangassalo and Hannu Jaakkola in Finland (Nordic countries). 
Geographical scope has expanded to cover Europe and also other countries.
Workshop characteristic - discussion, time enough for presentations and 
limited number of participants (50) / papers (30) - is typical to the 
conference. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Conceptual modelling: Modelling and specification languages; 
Domain-specific conceptual modelling; Concepts, concept theories and 
ontologies; Conceptual modelling of large and heterogeneous systems; 
Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data; Methods 
for developing, validating and communicating conceptual models.

2. Knowledge and information modelling and discovery: Knowledge 
discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management; Advanced 
data mining and analysis methods; Conceptions of knowledge and 
information;Modelling information requirements; Intelligent information 
systems; Information recognition and information modelling.

3. Linguistic modelling: Models of HCI; Information delivery to users; 
Intelligent informal querying; Linguistic foundation of information and 
knowledge; Fuzzy linguistic models; Philosophical and linguistic 
foundations of conceptual models.

4. Cross-cultural communication and social computing: Cross-cultural 
support systems; Integration, evolution and migration of systems; 
Collaborative societies; Multicultural web-based software systems; 
Intercultural collaboration and support systems; Social computing, 
behavioral modeling and prediction.

5. Environmental modelling and engineering: Environmental information 
systems (architecture); Spatial, temporal and observational information 
systems; Large-scale environmental systems; Collaborative knowledge base 
systems;Agent concepts and conceptualisation; Hazard prediction, 
prevention and steering systems.

6. Multimedia data modelling and systems: Modelling multimedia 
information and knowledge; Content-based multimedia data management; 
Content-based multimedia retrieval; Privacy and context enhancing 
technologies;Semantics and pragmatics of multimedia data; Metadata for 
multimedia information systems.

Publication

EJC (European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge 
Bases) is defined as the selection process of the final journal-paper

Working principles of the conference

The authors must present their papers at the conference. The papers are 
included in the conference (local) preprint. Only selected papers will 
be published in the final journal publication. The final text of the 
papers can be polished for publication after the conference. The final 
journal papers will be published by an international publisher (IOS 
Press, Amsterdam) after the conference.

The total number of participants is limited to 50. The final text of the 
full and short papers can be polished as journal papers for publication 
after the conference. Each of the position papers are proposed to 
improve to take into account the comments in the conference (if any) and 
the statement of the reviewers. Programme committee has right to 
withdraw the paper from the final journal publication, if the proposed 
improvements are not implemented or if the paper is not technically 
prepared according to the formatting rules.
