PURPOSE AND SCOPE

There has been a growing interest in the role played by formal ontology, as well as areas such as philosophical logics, cognitive sciences and linguistics, in the development of theoretical foundations for conceptual modeling. In particular, a number of ontological theories such as BWW, DOLCE, GFO and UFO have been successfully applied to the evaluation of conceptual modeling languages and frameworks (e.g., UML, ORM, ER, REA, TROPOS, ARIS, BPMN, RM-ODP, Archimate and OWL), and to the development of engineering tools (e.g., methodological guidelines, modeling profiles, design patterns) that contribute to the theory and practice of this discipline.

Additionally, there has been an increasing interest in the use of empirical studies to assess the impact of the application of these theoretical foundations to the design of conceptual modeling grammars and tools. The objective of this workshop is to collect innovative and high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by the aforementioned disciplines to the foundations of conceptual modeling.

With this workshop we would like to create a true forum for discussion and, in that spirit, we would like to solicit papers that address specific questions of relevance to body of knowledge of the emerging discipline of Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling.

 

WE PARTICULARLY WELCOME PAPERS THAT RAISE CHALLENGING QUESTIONS, INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND “OUT-OF-THE-BOX” THINKING

AND WHICH, AS A CONSEQUENCE, CAN HELP TO PROMOTE INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS AT THE WORKSHOP.  

 

Examples for topics that can be of interest address questions such as:

Submission and types of papers

Workshop proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Authors must submit manuscripts using the Springer-Verlag LNCS style for Lecture Notes in Computer Science. See http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for style files and details.

We welcome technical research papers as well as speculative/visionary papers addressing the topics of the workshop. As well, we are interested in presentations of how ontologies and conceptual modeling are taught at universities.

Submissions should be in LNCS and pdf format. The maximum length is 10 pages. Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS workshop proceedings. After the discussions at the workshop, we are planning to organize a special issue at a high-quality journal on the field with invited extended versions of the papers.
