This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2020, which was supposed to be held in Vienna, Austria, in November 2020, but the conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 28 full and 16 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 143 submissions. This events covers a wide range of topics, and the papers are organized in the following sessions: foundations of conceptual modeling; process mining and conceptual modeling; conceptual modeling of business rules and processes; modeling chatbots, narratives and natural language; ontology and conceptual modeling; applications of conceptual modeling; schema design, evolution, NoSQL; empirical studies of conceptual modeling; networks, graphs and conceptual modeling; and conceptual modeling of complex and data-rich systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of five workshops and a symposium, held at the 36th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2017, in Valencia, Spain in November 2017.The 21 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected out of 47 submissions to the following events: AHA 2017 - 3rd International Workshop on Modeling for Ambient Assistance and Healthy AgeingMoBiD 2017 - 6th International Workshop on Modeling and Management of Big DataMREBA 2017 - 4th International Workshop on Conceptual Modeling in Requirements and Business AnalysisOntoCom 2017 - 5th International Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual ModelingQMMQ 2017 - 4th Workshop on Quality of Models and Models of Quality

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 7th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in November 2014 in Manchester, UK.The focus of the PoEM conference series is on advances in the practice of enterprise modeling through a forum for sharing knowledge and experiences between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector.The 16 full and four short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. They reflect different topics of enterprise modeling including business process modeling, enterprise architecture, investigation of enterprise modeling methods, requirements engineering, and specific aspects of enterprise modeling.

Die Beitrage des Tagungsbandes knupfen an traditionelle Fragestellungen der Wissenschaftstheorie und an wissenschaftstheoretische Herausforderungen an, die mit aktuellen Forschungsthemen verbunden sind. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Angemessenheit von Verfahren zur Bildung und Bewertung von Theorien, die Ubertragbarkeit naturwissenschaftlicher Methoden auf die Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften, Ontologien, Informationsmodellierung und Wissensmanagement.
