Extended deadline!

The Thirteenth Asia-Pacific Conference on Conceptual Modelling (APCCM 2017)
January 31 – February 3, 2017, Geelong, Australia
http://www.dsl.uow.edu.au/main/apccm2017/
Submission Deadline: August 8, 2016

=============================
Aims
=============================
The Asia-Pacific Conferences on Conceptual Modelling provide an annual forum for disseminating the results of innovative research in information modelling and related areas.

The thirteenth conference of the series will be held from January 31 to February 3 as a track of the Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW 2017), hosted at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia. Registration will enable delegates to attend sessions in any conference participating in the Australasian Computer Science Week.

=============================
Scope
=============================
The amount, complexity and diversity of information held in computer systems are constantly on the increase, and so are the requirements and challenges to be met for useful access and manipulation of this information. Conceptual modelling is fundamental to the development of up-to-date information and knowledge-based systems. The conference series aims at bringing together experts from all areas of computer science and information systems with a common interest in the subject.

=============================
Paper Submission and Publication
=============================

APCCM invites papers describing original contributions in all fields of conceptual modelling and related areas. Papers should be no more than 10 pages in length, conforming to formatting instructions available on the conference website. Each paper will be judged on its originality, significance, technical quality, relevance and presentation. Submission to APCCM 2017 will be electronically only, via EasyChair. APCCM 2017 proceedings will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series and included in the ACM Digital Library.

Please note that it is ACSW policy that at least one author of all accepted papers to the conferences and workshops in the series would both register and present at the event concerned. Failure to do so without a reason acceptable to the organisers of the event will result in the paper being retrospectively withdrawn from both the proceedings and all citation sources. It is also ACSW policy that all papers be original and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Once again, we reserve the right to retrospectively withdraw a paper from the proceedings if we later find this not to be the case.
