The Asia-Pacific Conferences on Conceptual Modelling provide an annual forum
for disseminating the results of innovative research in information modelling
and related areas.
The fourth conference of the series will be held in early 2007 as part of the
Australasian
Computer Science Week (ACSW 2007), which also includes the following
conferences, symposia and workshops:
- The Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC)
- The Australasian Computing Education Conference (ACE)
- The Australasian Database Conference (ADC)
- Computing: The Australasian Theory Symposium (CATS)
- The Asia-Pacific
Conference on Conceptual Modelling (APCCM)
- The Australasian User Interface Conference (AUIC)
- Australasian Symposium on Grid Computing and Research (AUSGRID)
- The Australasian Information Security Workshop: Privacy Enhancing
Systems (AISW)
The Australasian Computer Science Week 2007 will be hosted by the
School
of ITMS at the University of Ballarat. The
Conference venues will be at the Caro Convention
Centre in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.
Registration to APCCM will enable delegates to attend sessions in any
conference participating in the Australasian Computer Science Week.
The amount, complexity and diversity of information held in computer
systems are constantly on the increase, and so are the requirements and
challenges to be met for useful access and manipulation of this
information. Conceptual modelling is fundamental to the development of
up-to-date information and knowledge-based systems. The conference
series aims on bringing together experts from all areas of computer
science and information systems with a common interest in the subject.
APCCM 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
- e-business, e-commerce and e-banking systems
- mobile information systems
- knowledge management systems
- decision support and expert systems
- user interfaces
- 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
Submission of papers for review
APCCM invites papers describing original contributions in all fields of
conceptual modelling and related areas. Papers should be no more than 10
pages in length conforming to the formatting instructions for the series
Conferences in
Research and Practice in Information Technology. (Instructions are
available in section 'Procedures and Resources for Authors'.)
Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, technical
quality, relevance to APCCM and presentation. Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted,
at least one author will attend the conference to present the work.
Submission to APCCM is closed.
Submission of camera-ready copies
To submit your camera ready version please follow the instructions given
at http://www.crpit.com/Authors.html
Please observe in particular the following points.
- The page limit in CRPIT format is 12 pages.
- Ensure that the paper is formatted correctly. This includes using
A4 format (not, e.g. US letter!), and the correct fonts and margins.
- Ensure that the copyright notice at the base of page 1 is accurate.
E.g. in LaTeX add the commands
