30th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, Brussels, Belgium
31 October 2011 - 31 October 2011
Belgium
The 30th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling will take place from 31 October to 3 November 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.
A conceptual model represents 'concepts' (entities) and relationships between ideas in a problem domain, or the area of expertise or application that needs to be examined to solve a problem. A conceptual model in the field of computer science is also known as a domain model.
The aim of a conceptual model is to express the meaning of terms and concepts used by domain experts to discuss the problem, and to find the correct relationships between different concepts. It also attempts to clarify the meaning of various, usually ambiguous terms, and ensure that problems with different interpretations of the terms and concepts cannot occur.
Once the domain concepts have been modelled, the model becomes a stable basis for subsequent development of applications in the domain. The concepts of the conceptual model can be mapped into physical design or implementation constructs using either manual or automated code generation approaches.
The event will be a forum for presenting and discussing current research and applications in which the major emphasis is on conceptual modeling. Topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as theories of concepts and ontologies underlying conceptual modeling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations.For further information, please visit: http://cs.ulb.ac.be/conferences/er2011/(opens in new window)
