REGARDING CFP for ER94
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Thirteenth
International Conference on
THE
ENTITY-RELATIONSHIP
APPROACH
"Business Modelling and Re-engineering"
December 13-16 1994
Manchester, UK
Sponsored by:
British Computer Society
SERC
UMIST
ER Institute
The Conference
The ER conference is the primary forum for researchers and
practitioners in the field of conceptual data modelling. Since its
inception, the ER conference has proved to be one of the major
vehicles for exchange of research results and practical
experiences using many different modelling approaches including
variants of the ER model, Object-Oriented models, Object-Role
models, Rule-based models, Temporal models etc. as well as related
technology aspects such as databases and knowledge bases.
The ER '94 conference will offer a programme of state of the art
papers, combined with panel sessions, invited talks and tutorials.
The theme of the conference in 1994 will be Business Modelling and
Re-engineering. This is a key challenging area as increasingly
organisations strive to improve the co-ordination between systems
and ultimately individuals. Improving the performance of large
business processes, some of which may take place across different
organisations, requires appropriate modelling techniques and
infrastructure technology to assist in the management of the
interaction between different agents participating in these
processes. The ER '94 conference will represent a balance between
the interrelated areas of modelling and infrastructure.
Topics of Interest
Papers are sought in, but not limited to, the topics below.
Authors should state clearly whether their contribution is in the
area of modelling or infrastructure technology.
Enterprise integration, Enterprise Modelling, Process Modelling,
Enterprise Engineering and Re-engineering, Software Re-
engineering, CASE Environments, Repository Technology, Federated
Systems, Prototyping, Verification and Validation, Temporal
Information Systems, Multimedia Modelling, Quality Aspects of
Conceptual Modelling, Virtual Reality and Systems Development,
Distributed Knowledgebases, Hypermedia Cooperation in
Heterogeneous systems, Strategic Information Systems.
Information for Authors
Authors must clearly state the contribution of their work to the
theme of the conference. The edited proceedings of ER '94 will
appear as a book from a major international publisher. Five copies
of original unpublished papers up to 5000 words should be sent to:

Conference Location
Manchester is a city of surprises, a city of variety but most of
all it is a city of colour and vitality. It is the North West of
England's premier city. Manchester boasts about Europe's largest
municipal park, the hottest night life in Britain, two first rank
orchestras, the best U.K. theatreland outside of London and a
wealth of shopping opportunities.
Manchester is easy to reach by road rail or air. Manchester
airport is one of the largest international airports in Europe
with connections to all parts of the world. Manchester is just
over one hours travel from other major European cities such as
Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels and Frankfurt. The airport has a direct
rail link with the city centre ant the visitor can reach the city
from the airport in 15 minutes. The city is serviced by an
excellent road network which links it to other parts of the
country. Manchester has more miles of motorway than any other U.K.
city. Manchester Piccadilly station is a key link in the inter-
city network with services to all main-line stations in Britain.
Average travel time by rail to London is two and a half hours.
