This book contains the papers accepted for presentation and publication in the wo- shop proceedings of the 28th edition of the International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER Conference), held during November 9-12, 2009, in Gramado, Brazil. The ER workshops complement the main ER conference and are intended to serve as an intensive collaborative forum for exchanging late-breaking ideas and theories in an evolutionary stage and related to conceptual modeling. For the 2009 edition the workshop committee received 14 excellent proposals from which the following were selected: • ACM-L: Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning • CoMoL: Conceptual Modeling in the Large • ETheCoM: Evolving Theories of Conceptual Modeling • FP-UML: Workshop on Foundations and Practices of UML • MOST-ONISW: Joint International Workshop on Metamodels, Ontologies, Semantic Technologies, and Information Systems for the Semantic Web • QoIS: Quality of Information Systems • RIGiM: Requirements, Intentions and Goals in Conceptual Modeling • SeCoGIS: Semantic and Conceptual Issues in Geographic Information Systems These workshops attracted 100 submissions from which the workshop program c- mittees selected 33 papers, maintaining a highly competitive acceptance rate of 30%. The workshop co-chairs are highly indebted to the workshop organizers and p- gram committees for their work. July 2009 Carlos A. Heuser Günther Pernul
This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of eight international workshops held in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2009, in Gramado, Brazil, in November 2009.
The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. Topics addressed by the workshops are active conceptual modeling of learning (ACM-L), conceptual modeling in the large (CoMoL), evolving theories of conceptual modeling (ETheCoM), workshop on foundations and practices of UML (FP-UML), joint international workshop on metamodels, ontologies, semantic technologies, and information systems for the semantic web (MOST-ONISW), quality of information systems (QoIS), requirements, Intentions and goals in conceptual modeling ( RIGiM) and semantic and conceptual issues in geographic information systems (SeCoGIS).
