Topics
With FCM 2025, we want to deepen and broaden previous initiatives within the framework of the ER Conference.
In particular, we ask for and welcome contributions on current and new research regarding the following but not exclusive questions:
- How to specify the meaning of models.
- How to standardize meta-meta models.
- What are the elements of a theory of abstraction for modeling?
- How to learn from and transfer principles of mathematical models?
- How to achieve a comprehensive typification of models (based on their characteristics).
- How to manage complexity in the use of models.
- How to deal with interoperability and model serialization.
- What are the means for quality-aware modeling?
- What does it take to be able to rely on models?
- How to interleave Modeling and Development.
- How to detect and avoid misuse, misapplication, and manipulation through models.
- How to delimit the terms conceptual, physical, logical or other terms related to models.
On the basis of the participants’ contributions, we plan to discuss and work on questions such as:
- Is there a chance of a uniform definition of the terms model and conceptual model?
- Which areas should a theory or methodology of modeling cover?
- What problems might we encounter on the way to such a theory?
Submission Guidelines
will be completed soon
Submitted papers will be peer reviewed by at least 2 experts.
Accepted FCM’2025 papers will be published in the Springer LNCS Series; therefore, manuscripts must follow the LNCS author guidelines.
Paper length is between 12 and 20 pages.
Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or exceeding the page limits will not be reviewed and automatically rejected.
A paper submitted to FCM’2025 must not be under review for any other conference or journal during the time it is being considered for FCM’2025. Submitted papers must demonstrate to be aware of the state-of-the art literature in conceptual modeling by properly citing relevant papers in the field. Submission is via EasyChair.
