============================

The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling is the main international forum for discussing the state of the art, emerging issues, and future challenges in research and practice 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, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models.

ER 2023 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, at the Congress Center of the Instituto Superior Técnico located in Alameda, in the heart of Lisbon.

In this edition, the conference includes the following calls for papers:
- Main Papers Track
- Tutorials Proposals Track
- Forum Track
- Symposium on Conceptual Modeling Education (SCME)
- Posters and Demonstrations Track
- Doctoral Consortium Track
- Several well-established or original workshops (CD4IoR, CMLS, CMOMM4FAIR, EmpER, JUSMOD, OntoCom, QUAMES, and SmartFood)

============================
Call for Papers
============================

We welcome submissions of original research on a variety of topics on conceptual modeling. These include well-established areas of research and practice, such as modeling languages and techniques, model theories, methods and tools for developing, transforming, implementing and communicating conceptual models. Submissions that lead to new foundations, links, applications, or enlarge current boundaries of conceptual modeling are especially welcome. We also invite industry reports and vision papers.

** For returning authors, please note the following changes:
- The review process is double-blind and hence submissions must be anonymized;
- Papers are limited to 16 pages excluding references.

** The authors of selected papers will be invited to prepare a substantially revised and extended version to a Special Issue in Elsevier’s Data & Knowledge Engineering.

** Important dates (23:59 AoE)
Abstracts submission (mandatory): 24 May 2023 (extended!)
Paper submission: 31 May 2023 (extended!)
Author notification: 24 July 2023
Camera-ready papers and author registration: 11 September 2023

============================
Call for Tutorial Proposals
============================

ER tutorials introduce general or special topics in ER and relevant neighboring areas. A focus on specific tools and methodologies can still be useful to offer concrete examples and hands-on activities to participants. The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice.

============================
Call for Papers (Doctoral Consortium)
============================

The ER 2023 Doctoral Consortium will offer Ph.D. students in the early stages of their work, with a research problem in the field of conceptual modeling already defined, and eventually also early results produced, the opportunity to present and discuss that and to interact with other researchers and experts in the field, who can provide valuable and constructive feedback.

============================
Call for Forum
============================

The ER Forum track is a vibrant and interactive platform for presenting and discussing novel and diverse research reports and artifacts on the full range of conceptual modeling topics. Papers include new and promising research results, novel applications, and experience reports, proposed research endeavors still in early stages, and updates from earlier work. Innovation prevails over maturity, in particular regarding emerging new research topics. The main goal of the track is to facilitate the interaction, discussion and exchange of ideas among presenters and participants.
