This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of 7 workshops, held at the 42nd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2023, held in Lisbon, Portugal, during November 6-9, 2023.

The 28 full and 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected out of 53 submissions. 

Topics of interest span the entire spectrum of conceptual modeling, including research and practice in areas such as theories of concepts and ontologies, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models.

The following workshops are included in this volume: CMLS – 4th International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling for Life Sciences;

CMOMM4FAIR – Third Workshop on Conceptual Modeling, Ontologies and (Meta)data Management for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) Data;

JUSMOD – Second International Workshop on Digital Justice, Digital Law and Conceptual Modeling;

OntoCom – 9th International Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling;

QUAMES – 4th International Workshop on Quality and Measurement of Model-Driven Software Development;

SmartFood – First Workshop on Controlled Vocabularies and Data Platforms for Smart Food Systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Sciences, RCIS 2024, which took place in Guimarães, Portugal, during May 2024.

The scope of RCIS is summarized by the thematic areas of information systems and their engineering; user-oriented approaches; data and information management; business process management; domain-specific information systems engineering; data science; information infrastructures, and reflective research and practice.

The 25 full papers, 12 Forum and 5 Doctoral Consortium papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows:

Part I: Data and information management; conceptual modelling and ontologies; requirements and architecture; business process management; data and process science; security; sustainability; evaluation and experience studies

Part II: Forum papers; doctoral consortium papers.

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: 

Broadly-scoped requirements such as security, privacy, and response time are a major source of complexity in modern software systems. This is due to their tangled inter-relationships with and effects on other requirements. Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering (AORE) aims to facilitate modularisation of such broadly-scoped requirements, so that software developers are able to reason about them in isolation - one at a time. AORE also captures these inter-relationships and effects in well-defined composition specifications, and, in so doing exposes the causes for potential conflicts, trade-offs, and roots for the key early architectural decisions.

Over the last decade, significant work has been carried out in the field of AORE. With this book the editors aim to provide a consolidated overview of these efforts and results. The individual contributions discuss how aspects can be identified, represented, composed and reasoned about, as well as how they are used in specific domains and in industry. Thus, the book does not present one particular AORE approach, but conveys a broad understanding of the aspect-oriented perspective on requirements engineering. The chapters are organized into five sections: concern identification in requirements, concern modelling and composition, domain-specific use of AORE, aspect interactions, and AORE in industry.

This book provides readers with the most comprehensive coverage of AORE and the capabilities it offers to those grappling with the complexity arising from broadly-scoped requirements - a phenomenon that is, without doubt, universal across software systems. Software engineers and related professionals in industry, as well as advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers, will benefit from these comprehensive descriptions and the industrial casestudies.
