Preliminary Call for Papers:
24th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases EJC 2014
June 3-6, 2014 - Kiel, Germany http://www.tut.fi/en/ejc/
Deadline for paper submission: January 12, 2014
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 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.

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