Dear Colleagues,

The next ER Conference, the 36th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER'2017), will be held in the beautiful city of Valencia, Spain, from the 6th to the 9th of November, 2017.

The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER) is the leading international forum for current research on conceptual modeling and trendsetting applications. The topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling: theoretical and ontological foundation, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models and meta models, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and the impact of conceptual modeling techniques on databases, business strategies and information systems development.

Continuing a long tradition, ER'2017 will host a number of workshops to be held in conjunction with the main ER'2017 conference. The workshops will serve as an intensive collaborative forum for exchanging innovative ideas about conceptual modeling, and for discovering new frontiers for its use. We specifically invite proposals for interactive workshops on new, emerging, or established topics in conceptual modeling, or its application in specific domains. We encourage workshop organizers to include activities that provide their participants with a true workshop experience.
