PANELS

27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER2008)

October 20-23, 2008, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

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

ER 2008 solicits proposals for panel sessions related to the conference topics about which there is controversy and thus a need for public discussion. Panel proposals should specify the questions/issues the panel will discuss and should include a list of committed panelists. We strongly encourage panels that have a mixture of academic and industry panelists. We expect that a range of viewpoints will be represented in the panel session. The role of the panel moderator is to state the initial relevant issues and moderate the panel session. Each panelist will then make a short presentation of his/her position. The moderator will then direct a discussion/debate among the panelists and encourage audience interaction. Short panel summaries will appear in the proceedings of the main conference.

Panels proposals should be submitted by email to either of the chairs listed below.
