Final Call for Workshop Proposals
to be held in conjunction with

The 16th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER'97)

Los Angeles, California, USA
3 - 6 November 1997

The ER'97 program committee invites proposals for workshops. The workshops
are intended to provide an opportunity to meet and discuss selected topics on
conceptual modeling. Workshops can be scheduled around the conference as
workshop organizers see fit -- for example, the weekend before, evenings
during the conference, the afternoon of last conference day, the day
following the last conference day, or combinations of these times.
Attendees at workshops must register for the ER'97 conference and must
also pay an additional workshop fee.
