First International Workshop on

Evolving Theories of Conceptual Modelling (ETheCoM 2009)

November 9-12, 2009 -- Gramado, Brazil

http://ethecom2009.mucoms.org/

The ETheCoM workshop tries to bring together researchers with an interest in theoretical foundations of conceptual modelling. The emphasis is on evolving theories that address mathematical and logical underpinnings of new developments in conceptual modelling, e.g. addressing service-oriented software systems, personalisation of Information Systems and services, network-centric and web-based applications, biomedical applications, games and entertainment, etc. We are interested in precisely worked-out semantics, in particular with respect to constraints, and in the usage of such semantics for the reasoning and inferencing about model properties.

TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------

Typical topics of research papers can be (but are not limited to) the following:

* Theories of concepts; * Mathematical semantics of service-oriented systems; * Integrity constraints maintenance and dependency theory; * Theoretical foundations of personalisation of information systems and services; * Formal semantics of network-centric and web-based applications; * Formal methods for data and knowledge base design; * Reasoning about data and knowledge base dynamics; * Logical and mathematical models for novel application areas; * Adaptivity for personalised data and knowledge bases; * Formal information integration in data and knowledge bases; * Knowledge discovery in data and knowledge bases; * Formal linguistics for data and knowledge bases; and * Formal ontologies for data and knowledge bases.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION --------------------------------

Formatting Guidelines ---------------------

ETheCoM 2009 proceedings will be part of the ER 2009 Workshop volume published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Thus, authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Refer to http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details. Papers in the final proceedings are strictly limited to 10 pages. Therefore, submitted papers should also not exceed 10 pages, but technical appendices, e.g. containing proofs, can be added to a submission. Papers must be in English, formatted in LNCS style and submitted as PDF-files. Submitted papers must be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

Submission Guidelines ---------------------

Submission to ETheCoM 2009 will be electronically only. Authors are asked to create a submission system account first. Subsequently, this account can be used to submit one or more abstracts and upload corresponding papers. The online submission system can be accessed via http://ethecom2009.mucoms.org/
