Workshops provide a forum for researchers and practitioners
to meet and discuss focused issues in an atmosphere that fosters interaction,
exchange, and problem solving. Workshops also provide the opportunity for
representatives of a technical community to coordinate efforts and establish
collective plans of action. All topics related to conceptual modeling are
potential candidates for workshops. More specifically, workshops typically
may fall into the following topics:
- Modeling of Web Services
- Enterprise Application Integration
- Conceptual Modeling for new Aplication Domains
- Quality Management in System Development
- Business Process Modeling and Analysis
- Design of Electronic Commerce Solutions
- E-Government
- Modeling Digital Rights
- Requirements Engineering and Conceptual Modeling
- Agent-Oriented Information Systems
- E-Mobile Software Technology
- User Interface Conceptual Modeling (HCI and Conceptual Modeling)
- Software Architectures: Present and Future of MDA
- XML Technology and Applications
- Software Maintenance and Evolution
Workshop topics are by
no means limited to the examples mentioned above. However, in each case the
proposed area is supposed to have enough impetus to yield new results which
can be considered important and worth more detailed investigation.
Workshop proposals should be electronically sent in Postscript or PDF format. Please, use the “title of the workshop” as subject area, and identify the file with the proposal with the name of the contact person.
A workshop proposal should include the following information:
1. Name of the workshop.
2. Names and affiliations of the organizers,
identifying one primary contact.
3.
Abstract of the workshop
with no more than 200 words, including its major topics and goals.
4. Motivation: relevance of the workshop to ER
community; references to other workshops organized by those proponents at
ER or related conferences, including the number of participants.
5. The desired, minimum and maximum number of
workshop participants. Explain why this workshop should attract sufficient
participants.
6.
Requested Audio/Video equipment,
room capacity and organization, and materials.
7.
A preliminary version of
the Call for Papers that the organizers must prepare if the workshop is accepted.
This should address:
§
a brief overview of the
proposed workshop including a description of the goals of the workshop and
the work practices. May repeat some of the statements made on the abstract,
but should be targeted specifically to potential workshop participants, providing
some information about who should participate in the workshop.
§
maximum number of participants;
participant solicitation and selection process.
§
workshop activities: this
includes a schedule of activities the organizers plan for the workshop. Besides
the expected format of the workshop, it may include pre and post workshop
activities.
§
important dates: deadline
submission and acceptance/rejection notification dates.
§
references to previous workshops
on the same/similar topic, including web sites, where participants may find
additional information.
§
organizers
biography.
The proposals will be reviewed by the ER 2003 Workshop Selection Commitee. Acceptance will be primarily based on an evaluation of the workshop’s potential for generating useful results, relevance and expected level of interest in the topic, and the organizers’ ability to lead a successful workshop.
Organizers of accepted workshops will be requested to prepare a web page that will contain the latest information about the workshop. The URL of each workshop will be added to the ER 2003 workshop web site.
