The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing current research on conceptual modeling for computer-supported and networked applications. 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.<o:p></o:p></p>

We solicit submission 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. We specifically encourage submissions on the application and role of
conceptual modeling techniques in new and emerging areas such as large data repositories, enterprise architecture, cloud computing, social media, networks and social networks. Specific examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to, conceptual
modeling as applied to:<o:p></o:p></p>

The conference will be held in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta is an important and historic city with a metropolitan population in excess of 3 million. It was the host city for Olympics 1996. Formed by the juncture of major east-west and north-south railroads, it is now
a major intersection of media and internet highways. The Downtown, marked by Atlanta Underground, traces a rich history, memorialized in the movie ŒGone with the Wind.¹ The city was home to Martin Luther King whose presence in the late 20th Century galvanized
the country. Today, Atlanta is home to many major corporations including CNN, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Georgia-Pacific, Home Depot, UPS and TNT among others. Atlanta is also known for several quaint neighborhoods such as Midtown, Buckhead, Little Five Points
and others that can provide the attendees a diverse set of opportunities to participate in the life of this exciting modern city.<o:p></o:p></p>
