<p class=MsoNormal>The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling is a
leading international forum for presenting and discussing current research and applications
in which the major emphasis is on conceptual modeling. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The ER2010 PhD Colloquium is intended to bring together PhD
students working on topics related to the ER conference series. The workshop
will offer PhD students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive
feedback on their research in a constructive and collegial atmosphere. Prominent
researchers in the field of conceptual modeling will attend the workshop and
mentor the participant students. The workshop is co-located with the ER2010
conference and will take place on the first conference day (Monday, November
1st, 2010). The Colloquium language is English.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The PhD Colloquium is intended for students who have already
settled on a specific research proposal and have some preliminary results, but still
have enough time remaining before submitting their dissertation so that they
can benefit from workshop feedback. The technical scope of the PhD Workshop is
the same as that of the ER2010.<o:p></o:p></p>
