* Overview
Conceptual modeling has enjoyed substantial growth over the past
decades in fields ranging from Information Systems Analysis to
Business Process Engineering. A plethora of conceptual modeling
practices (languages, frameworks, methods, etc.) have been
proposed, promising to facilitate activities such as
communication, design, or decision-making. Success in adopting a
conceptual modeling practice is, however, predicated on
convincingly demonstrating that it indeed successfully supports
these activities. At the same time, the way individuals and groups
produce and consume models gives raise to cognitive, behavioral,
organizational or other phenomena, whose systematic observation
may help us better understand how models are used in practice and
how we can make them more effective. Furthermore, the act of
building conceptual models is ideally informed by empirical
evidence that is nowadays abundant in the form of digital data.
This overabundance of data, combined with the advent of advanced
data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques,
introduces major opportunities and challenges in an
empirically-informed conceptual modeling practice.
* Aim and Topics
We aim at bringing together researchers with an interest in the
empirical investigation of conceptual modeling practices, as well
as with the study of a data-driven, evidence-based conceptual
modelling practice. Contributions include but are not limited to:
. Complete, on-going or planned empirical studies in conceptual
modeling.
. Literature Reviews on empirical research.
. Theoretical/philosophical positions.
. Technical contributions, case studies, or position and vision
papers on data-driven, evidence-based conceptual modeling.
. Discussions/positions on statistical and methodological issues.
. Lessons learned from past studies.
* Submissions
We solicit three types of papers: . Full papers describing a
completed study or a technical contribution in empirical
conceptual modeling.
. Work-in-progress papers describing a planned study or study in
progress, or other early results.
. Position, vision, and lessons papers about the use of empirical
methods for conceptual modelling.
Papers shall be limited to 10 pages in LNCS format. The EmpER'23
accepted papers will be published within the ER Workshop
proceedings, in the Springer LNCS Series.
* Format and Duration
The workshop will consist of paper presentations with an emphasis
on discussion. Time permitting, papers presenting on-going studies
will have a discussion session led by a designated member of the
program committee.
* Location
The workshop will take place in Lisbon, Portugal in conjunction
with the 42nd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER
2023).
