===================================== First Call for WORKSHOP PROPOSALS =====================================

ER2010 (The 29th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling - ER) Vancouver, BC, Canada, November 1-4, 2010.

Conference Web Site: http://www.er2010.sauder.ubc.ca/

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. Topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as theories of concepts and ontologies underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations.

ER 2010 will host a number of workshops addressing different areas related to conceptual modeling that complement the main ER 2010 conference. Workshops are intended to serve as an intensive collaborative forum for exchanging late breaking ideas and theories in an evolutionary stage. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly-interactive workshops focusing on either in-depth analysis or broad-ranging approaches to areas related to conceptual modeling.
