6th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering

(MEDI 2016)


Aguadulce, Almería, SPAIN


21-23 September 2016


Special Issue: Computer Standards & Interfaces, Elsevier (5-Year Impact Factor: 1.314)


The 6th International Conference on Model & Data Engineering (MEDI) will be held from 21 to 23 September 2016 in Almería, Spain. Previous MEDI events took place at Obidos/Portugal (2011), Poitiers/France (2012), Calabria/Italy (2013), Larnaca/Cyrpus (2014) and Rhodes Island/ Greece (2015). The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote the interaction and collaboration between the models and data research communities. This international scientific event, initiated by researchers from Euro-Mediterranean countries, aims also at promoting the creation of north-south scientific networks, projects and faculty/student exchanges.

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Submissions must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should not exceed 12 pages. Authors who want to buy extra pages may submit a paper up to 16 pages with the indication that the authors will purchase extra pages if the paper is accepted. Submissions which do not conform to the LNCS format and/or which exceed 12 pages (or 16 pages with the extra page purchase commitment) will be rejected without reviews. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. All accepted papers will be published in Springer LNCS series. Duplicate submissions are not allowed.
