31st International Conference on Conceptual
Modeling
Florence, Italy
Baglioni Grand Hotel
October 15-18, 2012
The International Conference on Conceptual Modeling is the leading international forum for presenting
and discussing current research on conceptual modeling for computer-supported and networked applications.
The 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, methods and tools for
developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into
effective implementations.
We encourage submissions relating to all aspects of conceptual modeling defined broadly, and particularly
encourage work on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities.
ER 2012 will be held in Florence, one of the Italy’s most important and historic cities with world-wide
famous museums. The Historic Centre of Florence is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Full
of beautiful, Renaissance-style buildings, including wonderful churches and elegant palaces, Florence is also a
busy cosmopolitan centre which offers many tourist attractions and entertainments, historic cafes and excellent
restaurants. The mingling and the mutual interaction of ancient and modern culture make Florence a magical,
enchanting and inspiring city that can offer impressive conference premises.
