Abstract
The aim of the first international workshop on “Evolving Theories of Conceptual Modelling” (ETheCoM) was to bring together researchers with an interest in theoretical foundations of conceptual modelling. The emphasis is on evolving theories that address mathematical and logical underpinnings of new developments in conceptual modelling, e.g. addressing service-oriented software systems, personalisation of Information Systems and services, network-centric and web-based applications, biomedical applications, games and entertainment, etc. We were interested in precise semantics, in particular with respect to constraints, and in the usage of such semantics for the reasoning and inferencing about model properties.
