[AISWorld] CFP ER 2021 | October 18-21 St. John's, NL, Canada

[Arturo Castellanos]

Dear Conceptual Modelers,


ER is the premier academic venue for the discussion of foundational aspects
of conceptual modeling.


We are looking for submissions of original research, as well as experience
and vision papers, from both researchers and practitioners, welcoming any
topic where conceptual modeling is a major theme. The conference theme is
“Conceptual Modeling in an Age of Uncertainty”. Conceptual modeling has
never been more important. As individuals, organizations, and nations face
new and unexpected challenges, software and data must be developed that can
cope with and help address this uncertainty in an ever-faster changing
world. Conceptual modeling can be used to describe, understand and manage
increasing levels of uncertainty in our world.



Specific examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
conceptual modeling as applied to:

-       Ontological and Cognitive Foundations for Conceptual Modeling

-       Integration of Conceptual Models and Database Schemas

-       Big Data and Conceptual Modeling

-       Data Warehousing, Data Mining, Business Intelligence and Analytics

-       Service-Oriented Architectures

-       Agile Development

-       Requirements Engineering

-       Methodologies and Tools for Conceptual Design

-       Domain Specific Conceptual Modeling Languages, Methods and
Frameworks

-       Modeling Distributed Ledger Systems

-       Enterprise Models and Architectures

-       Business Process Modeling

-       Economics and Conceptual Models

-       Conceptual Models and Machine Learning

-       Industry 4.0, Factory of the Future and Internet of Things (IoT)

-       Semantic Web, Cloud Computing, and Web Information Systems

-       Information Retrieval, Filtering, Classification, Summarization,
and Visualization

-       Empirical Studies of Conceptual Modeling

-       Experience Applying Conceptual Modeling

-       and many others



Since the proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series,
authors must submit manuscripts using the LNCS style. The page limit for
submitted papers (as well as for final, camera-ready papers) is 14.

About the location:

==============



ER 2021 will be held as a blended conference, with participation both
on-site in the beautiful and vibrant city of St. John's, Canada, as well as
virtually from around the world.



Hosted by Memorial University of Newfoundland - Signal Hill Campus. St.
John's is the easternmost city in North America, located on the Atlantic
coast of Newfoundland. St. John's is the capital and largest city of the
Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.



Its name has been attributed to the Nativity of John the Baptist, when John
Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497. Existing on
maps as early as 1519, it is one of the oldest cities in North America.



Fun fact: Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi received the first
transatlantic wireless signal in St. John's.
