Third Call for the Demonstration Program

		27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2008) 
			October 20-23, 2008, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

			Conference Web Site: http://www.upc.edu/ER2008 


The ER conference is a premier conference in conceptual modeling. This year, a Demonstrations Program will be organized in the conference.

The ER2008 Demonstrations' program is an exciting and highly interactive way to demonstrate conceptual modeling research, and an excellent way to advertise the applicability of the results. Proposals should be focused on new conceptual modeling developments, advances in applying conceptual modeling, or innovative use of conceptual modeling techniques. The demonstrations program is focused on academic and research software, and it is not intended for the demonstration of commercial products.
