Forwarded message from [songiy@DREXEL.EDU (Il-Yeol Song)] sent originally on Thu, 3 Feb 2000 00:41:43 -0500: : *** We apologize if you receive multiple times. *** : ------------------------------------------------------------ : SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS AND TUTORIALS : 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2000) : October 9-12, 2000, Salt Lake City, USA. www.er2000.byu.edu : ---------------------------------------------------------------- : SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE : The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling provides a forum for : presenting and discussing current research and applications in which the : major emphasis is on conceptual modeling. This conference was originally : devoted to the Entity-Relationship (ER) model, but has expanded to include : many types of semantic data modeling, behavior and process modeling, : object-oriented systems modeling, and modeling for Web-based applications. : The conference embraces all phases of software development including : analysis, specification, design, implementation, evolution, and : reengineering. It is the aim of this conference to present state-of-the-art : research on emerging topics in conceptual modeling, to review important : techniques in related areas, and to discuss application papers of interest : to information system professionals as well as information technology : academics and researchers. : : TOPICS OF INTEREST : The conference focuses on conceptual modeling and advanced information : systems design and implementation. We solicit submission of original : research, as well as experience and vision papers that address these : themes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, conceptual : modeling as applied to: : - active databases : - application design using UML : - business-process modeling : - CASE tools : - ER, OO, ORM, and other approaches : - database design methodologies : - database integration : - data warehouse and multidimensional modeling : - geographic information systems : - heterogeneous and federated databases : - information-retrieval systems : - knowledge bases : - multimedia databases : - object-oriented data and software engineering : - ontology development and applications : - query languages : - reverse engineering and reengineering : - semistructured data : - spatial and temporal databases : - user interfaces : - Web-based information systems : - workflow management : : SUBMISSION GUIDELINES : Authors should submit manuscripts via the ER2000 Web site, in the form of : PostScript or PDF files (contact Stephen Liddle, the conference Webmaster, : er2000@byu.edu, if you need assistance). Papers may not exceed 5000 words. : Additionally we suggest using at least an 11-point font and no more than : 20 pages. The ER2000 home page (www.er2000.byu.edu) contains further : details on electronic submissions. : The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. : Springer-Verlag publishes a full-text electronic version of LNCS in : parallel with the printed version, thus the electronic source of accepted : papers will be required (LaTeX 2e format is strongly preferred). Authors : of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for : possible publication in the Data & Knowledge Engineering journal. : : IMPORTANT DATES : Workshop proposals: Dec. 3, 1999 : Paper abstracts: March 28, 2000 : Full papers: April 4, 2000 : Notification: June 13, 2000 : Camera-ready papers: July 11, 2000 : : TUTORIAL PROPOSALS : We solicit tutorial proposals of interest to ER2000 attendees. Proposals : should identify the intended audience and give enough material to provide : a sense of what will be covered. The target duration is either 1.5 or : 3 hours. Proposals should be submitted in plain text by April 4, 2000 : to the tutorials chair, Ling Liu (lingliu@cc.gatech.edu). Presenters of : accepted proposals will be expected to provide a copy of their overheads : or PowerPoint slides for photocopying in addition to a basic statement : advertising their tutorial and a bibliographic statement by the : camera-ready due date (July 11, 2000). : : WORKSHOPS : ER2000 will be held with the following four workshops: : 1.

Mayr at : heinrich@ifit.uni-klu.ac.at : : INDUSTRIAL PRESENTATIONS : We solicit proposals for experience reports and other presentations of : interest to the industrial community. Submit one- or two-page abstracts : to the industrial chair, Terry Halpin (terryh@visio.com) by April 4, 2000. : PANELS : We solicit proposals for panel sessions related to the conference topics. : We encourage panels that bring together a range of views and backgrounds. : Submissions should be e-mailed to the panels chair, John Roddick : (roddick@cis.unisa.edu.au) by April 4, 2000. : : GENERAL CHAIR : David W.
