ER FORUM, Demo and Posters - ONLINE!!

41st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2022) Online (Virtual), October 17-20, 2022

The ER Forum & Demo track is a vibrant platform for presenting and discussing novel research outcomes that address any topic related to conceptual modelling. Innovation prevails over maturity, in particular regarding emerging new research topics. Thus, the main goal of the track is to facilitate the interaction, discussion and exchange of ideas among presenters and participants.

Author Guidelines

The ER Forum & Demo track allows for the following types of submissions:*

  • Forum papers aim to present novel and innovative research outcomes regarding conceptual modeling. Full papers are limited to 14 pages and short papers have the limit of 8 pages.
  • Vision papers are also forum papers, but have a particular focus on futuristic conceptual modeling or anticipate new challenges. Submission of vision papers may describe novel projects that are in an early stage but hold out the strong promise of eventual high impact. The paper should describe what the success criteria are for the vision project. Vision papers have a limit of 4 pages.
  • Tool demonstrations regard the exhibition of innovative software prototypes or full-fledged systems for developing, communicating and implementing conceptual models. The tools may originate from research initiatives or from industry. Submissions should include a short description including the significance to the conceptual modeling field, the maturity of the work, and if available, a link to a web page or screencast. Here, papers are optional up to 4 pages.
  • Follow-up abstracts report new experiences about previously published papers. The abstract should include the reference to the original paper(s), as well as new material. This may include new findings or insights AFTER the original publication(s), extensions of the original work, or reports on the reception, use, or application of the original research in the community. Follow- up abstracts have a limit of 4 pages.
* When submitting your contribution in EasyChair, please specify your type of contribution under “Topic” (Forum Full Paper, Forum Short Paper, Vision Paper, Tool Demonstration, Follow-up Abstract).

All types of papers will be published in CEUR-WS. The papers must adhere to the new CEUR-ART style for writing papers, 1-column style. You can download an offline version with the style files from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip (refer to files with 1col postfix).
