Call for Paper MORE-BI 2016
===========================

*** The 4th International Workshop on Modeling and Reasoning for Business Intelligence - MORE-BI 2016 ***

One-day Workshop held in Conjunction with the 35th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER’16)

Gifu, Japan
November14-17th, 2016

*** SCOPE ***

MORE-BI aims to bring together researchers in conceptual modeling, business process modeling and analysis, ontology engineering, artificial intelligence with business analysts, developers, managers, and consultants involved in the definition of requirements for, development, use, and evolution of BI systems.

The aim is to initiate discussions and studies in concepts, ontologies, modeling languages, metrics, processes, and methods relevant for the engineering of requirements for, and the engineering and specification of BI systems. These modeling and reasoning techniques will provide more precise and rich information for the end-user, bridging the gap between technical and user-centric tools for BI. The workshop is the first of its kind to provide a forum for both research and practice in the conceptual modeling and reasoning needed for the engineering of BI systems, and encourages interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of this field.
