With the growing interest in conceptual modelling, we are pleased to
announce a new conference series focussing on disseminating the results of
innovative research in conceptual modelling and related areas. The first
running of this conference will be in Dunedin, New Zealand in late
January 2004 as part of the
Australasian
Computer Science Week. The conference week also includes:
- the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC'04),
- the Asia-Pacific Computer System Architecture Conference (ACSAC'04),
- the Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC'04),
- the Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE'04),
- the Australasian Database Conference (ADC'04),
- the Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC'04),
- Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium (CATS'04),
- the Australasian Information Security Workshop (AISW'04).
- the Australasian Workshop on Data Mining (AWDM'04),
- the Australasian Workshop on Software Internationalisation (AWSI'04).
Registration to APCCM 2004 will enable delegates to attend sessions in any
conference participating in the Australasian Computer Science Week.
Scope of Conference
The actual amount, complexity and diversity of information are increasing
day by day. Information that has to be conceptualised and efficiently
organised in order to be useful. Conceptual modelling is fundamental to
the development of up-to-date information and knowledge-based systems.
The new conference series aims on providing a forum for experts from all
areas of computer science and information systems with a common
interest in conceptual modelling.
APCCM 2004 invites contributions addressing current research in conceptual
modelling as well as experiences, novel applications and future
challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- information recognition and information modelling
- concepts, concept theories and ontologies
- methods for developing, validating and communicating conceptual models
- information systems design methodologies
- design patterns and object-oriented design
- conceptual modelling for web-based systems
- conceptual modelling for e-business, e-commerce and e-banking systems
- conceptual modelling for mobile information systems
- conceptual modelling for knowledge management systems
- conceptual modelling for decision support and expert systems
- conceptual modelling for user interfaces
- conceptual modelling for digital libraries
- business, enterprise and process modelling
- conceptual modelling quality
- information and schema integration
- information customization and user profiles
- conceptual modelling and user participation
- knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management
- information retrieval, analysis, visualization and prediction
- Semantic Web
- conceptual modelling of semi-structured data and XML
- conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data
- evolution and change in conceptual models
- implementations of information systems
- reuse, reverse engineering and reengineering
- software engineering and tools for information systems development
- philosophical, mathematical and linguistic foundations of conceptual models
- conceptual models in management science
