This edition serves as a valuable resource for understanding the knowledge base of civilization.
This volume is a collection of papers presented during the first International ACM-L Workshop, which was held in Tucson, Arizona, during the 25th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2006. Included in this state-of-the-art survey are 11 revised full papers, carefully reviewed and selected from the workshop presentations. These are rounded off with four invited lectures and an introductory overview, and represent the current thinking in conceptual modeling research.
The workshops associated with the ER'99 18th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling aim to provide participants with high-level presentations on specialized and emerging scientific topics. Three themes have been selected: Evolution and Change in Data Management (ECDM'99), which focuses on the evolution of data and data structures; Reverse Engineering in Information Systems (REIS'99), which addresses issues related to legacy systems; and The World Wide Web and Conceptual Modeling (WWWCM'99), analyzing the interplay between WWW resources and conceptual modeling. The conference is structured to avoid overlap between sessions and workshops, allowing participants to attend both conference and workshop presentations of interest. Special thanks are extended to the program co-chairs, Jacky Akoka and Mokrane Bouzeghoub, for the opportunity to organize these workshops, and to Stephen Liddle for his assistance in managing the evaluation of submitted papers and preparing the workshop proceedings for publication. The first part of this volume contains the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Evolution and Change in Data Management, ECDM'99, held in conjunction with the ER'99 conference in Paris, France, from November 15-18, 1999.
This volume contains a collection of selected papers presented at the Symposium on Conceptual Modeling, which was held in Los Angeles, California, on December 2, th 1997, immediately before the 16 International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER’97), which was held at UCLA. A total of eighteen papers were selected for inclusion in this volume. These papers are written by experts in the conceptual modeling area and represent the most current thinking of these experts. This volume also contains the summaries of three workshops that were held on 6 7 December 1997, immediately after the ER’97 conference at UCLA. The topics of these three workshops are: • Behavioral Modeling • Conceptual Modeling in Multimedia Information Seeking • What Is the Role of Cognition in Conceptual Modeling? Since these topics are not only very important but also very timely, we think it is appropriate to include the summary of these three workshops in this volume. Those readers interested in further investigating topics related to the three workshops can either look up the individual paper published on the Web or contact the authors directly. The summary paper by Chen at the beginning of this volume also includes the summary of several interesting speeches at the Symposium.
