Ninth Asia-Pacific Conference on Conceptual Modelling

(APCCM 2013)

January 29 - February 01, 2013 -- Adelaide, South Australia

http://2013.apccm.org/


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 ninth conference of the series will be held in January/February 2013 
as part of the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2013). ACSW 2013 
will be hosted in Adelaide, at the City West Campus of University of 
South Australia.

Registration to APCCM will enable delegates to attend sessions in any 
conference participating in the Australasian Computer Science Week.

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE
-----------------------

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 at 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:

* Business, enterprise, process and services modelling;
* Concepts, concept theories and ontologies;
* Conceptual modelling and user participation;
* Conceptual modelling for decision support and expert systems; digital 
libraries; e-business, e-commerce and e-banking systems; health care 
systems; knowledge management systems; mobile information systems; user 
interfaces; and Web-based systems;
* Conceptual modelling of semi-structured data and XML;
* Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal and biological data;
* Conceptual modelling quality;
* Conceptual models for cloud computing applications;
* Conceptual models for supporting requirement engineering;
* Conceptual models in management science;
* Design patterns and object-oriented design;
* Evolution and change in conceptual models;
* Implementations of information systems;
* Information and schema integration;
* Information customisation and user profiles;
* Information recognition and information modelling;
* Information retrieval, analysis, visualisation and prediction;
* Information systems design methodologies;
* Knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management;
* Methods for developing, validating and communicating conceptual models;
* Models for the Semantic Web;
* Philosophical, mathematical and linguistic foundations of conceptual 
models;
* Reuse, reverse engineering and reengineering; and
* Software engineering and tools for information systems development.


PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------

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 as outlined below.

Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, technical 
quality, relevance and presentation. The quality of accepted papers is 
further strengthened by a low acceptance rate of about 30%.

APCCM proceedings will be published in the CRPIT Series. Please note 
that it is CRPIT policy that at least one author of all accepted papers 
to the conferences and workshops in the series would both register and 
present at the event concerned. Failure to do so without a reason 
acceptable to the organisers of the event will result in the paper being 
retrospectively withdrawn from both the proceedings and all citation 
sources.
It is also CRPIT policy that all papers be original and not concurrently 
submitted elsewhere. Once again, we reserve the right to retrospectively 
withdraw a paper from the proceedings if we later find this not to be 
the case.

After the conference, authors of the best papers will be invited to 
submit an extended version for publication in a joint Special Issue of 
the Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS).

Formatting Guidelines
---------------------

The proceedings of this event will be published by the ACS in the CRPIT 
Series. The formatting requirements and resources for authors can be 
found on the CRPIT Authors Page together with a list of all upcoming 
volumes.

Electronic Submission
---------------------

Submission to APCCM 2013 will be electronically only via EasyChair. The 
online submission system is accessible via the APCCM 2013 Web-site ( 
http://2013.apccm.org/ ).
