The ER 2000 : organizing committee is soliciting papers and proposals for workshops, panels, : tutorials, and industry presentations. Please note that the due date for : workshop proposal is December 3, 1999. : : WORKSHOPS : : We solicit proposals for WORKSHOPS related to the conference topics (See : below). Proposals should be submitted to the workshops chair, Bernhard : Thalheim (thalheim@informatik.tu-cottbus.de) by December 3, 1999. Prior : contact with the workshops chair is encouraged. We plan to hold : workshops in parallel tracks on the last day of the conference, and plan : to publish the proceedings in time for distribution at the conference. : : 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. 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). : : 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.
