Call for Industrial Presentations -- ER'04

            ER2003 Call for Industrial Presentations
      
      23rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling 
              8-12 November 2004, Shanghai, China  

The ER2004 conference program includes an industrial stream for presentations 
focusing on conceptual modeling issues arising in industrial practice. Although 
theoretical aspects may be included, the content must be geared towards the 
practitioner, and should not assume a deep mathematical background. Proposals 
for this stream are solicited from both the industrial and academic 
communities. 
Possible topics include use or evaluation of modeling tools, new approaches to 
practical modeling problems, frameworks for the modeling process itself, 
evaluation of current modeling approaches, and illuminating case studies.

The target duration of each industrial presentation is 30 minutes. If practical 
demonstrations using modeling tools are included as part of the presentation, 
it 
must be made clear what modeling issues are being addressed by these 
demonstrations.

An abstract of at most 1000 words, summarizing the motivation and content of 
the 
proposed presentation, should be e-mailed to 
er-industry04-5uz/Hvz/I5yU1MeA8UckRA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by 
April 19, 2004. Acceptance will be based on this abstract alone. The evaluation 
committee will consist of the industrial co-chairs and other members of the 
Program and Organizing Committees.

Successful applicants will be required to refine their abstracts according to 
reviewer feedback as needed. Accepted abstracts will be published in the 
conference proceedings. Authors must also submit an electronic slide 
presentation to be made available in a separate printed publication at the 
conference as well as on the Web. Format details will be sent with the 
acceptance notice.
