Metamodeling stands for the design and implementation of modeling languages, conceptual modeling methods and related tools.This book contains fourteen contributions by close collaborators of Dimitris Karagiannis from academia, research, and industry.

This Festschrift honors the remarkable career of Prof. Dr. Dimitris Karagiannis whose research has been focused on metamodeling, method engineering and its application in practice. Metamodeling stands for the design and implementation of modeling languages, conceptual modeling methods and related tools.This book contains fourteen contributions by close collaborators of Dimitris Karagiannis from academia, research, and industry. Each chapter honors the extraordinary inspiration that he provided during remarkable and ongoing collaborations. They cover the topics of conceptual modeling, semantic engineering, business process management, ontologies, enterprise architecture and knowledge management. They not only refer to research results, but also to tools like the ADOxx metamodeling platform for implementing domain-specific modelling tools and educational efforts like the Open Models Initiative Laboratory, aka OMiLAB, or the NEMO Summer School on conceptual modeling. The contributions by authors with ample experience in metamodeling reflect on the state of the field and possible applications and trajectories to the future. They are compiled in honor of Dimitris Karagiannis and his outstanding work in this domain.

This book constitutes the refereed post proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Software Technologies, ICSOFT 2023, held in Rome, Italy, during July 10–12, 2023. The 7 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 submissions. They focus on Software Engineering and Systems Development;

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the workshops held at the 43rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2024, which took place in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, during October 28-31, 2024. The 22 full papers and 1 short paper included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. They stem from the following workshops: AISA’2024 - The First International Workshop on AI Services and ApplicationsCMLS2024 - The 5th International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Life SciencesEmpER'24 -7th International Workshop on Empirical Methods in Conceptual ModelingQUAMES 2024 - 5th International Workshop on Quality and Measurement of Model-Driven Software DevelopmentJUSMOD24 - 3rd International Workshop on Digital JUStice, Digital Law and Conceptual MODelingLLM4Modeling - 2nd Workshop on Modeling in the Age of Large Language Models

This third volume of the book series “Domain-Specific Conceptual Modeling” presents new application cases for domain-specific modeling languages and for the engineering of modeling languages and tools. All cases use the ADOxx metamodeling platform or toolkits from the Digital Innovation Environment, shared by the OMiLAB Community of Practice and available for open use. Through this platform, participants can share ideas and engage in an exploration process regarding model-based decision making, augmented intelligence, or model-driven systems engineering. All reported cases originate from research initiatives but are also suitable for teaching, demonstrations, or experimentation tooling that can be further expanded to better grasp the benefits of metamodeling and scripting of model-based functionalities. Each chapter result is elevated with the possibility to download the modeling tool and practically apply the theoretical concepts through case studies and examples provided by the author. In addition to describing novel domain-specific languages or language extensions for diverse purposes and levels of specificity, the book offers detailed instructions on how to build models in a particular application domain – including the management of Internet of Things facilities, decentralized governance, intelligence augmentation, and digital nudging strategies. Overall, the collection of works presented here will benefit experts and practitioners from both academia and industry, including members of the conceptual modeling community, as well as lecturers and students.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th IFIP Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling, PoEM 2025, which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, during December 3-5, 2025.PoEM offers a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. This year the theme of the conference is  Enterprise Modeling for Sustainable Reindustrialization.The 15 full papers and 4 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Enterprise Modeling for Sustainable Reindustrialization; AI and Model-Driven Approaches for the Next-Generation Enterprise; Human and Cognitive Dimensions of Enterprise Modeling; Contextual and Process-Oriented Modeling; and Intelligent and Secure Digital Transformation.

This book constitutes the refereed post proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Software Technologies, ICSOFT 2024, held in Dijon, France, during July 8–10, 2024.The 12 full papers and 7 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions.
