Conceptual Model 2026
The 6th International Workshop on Conceptual Model (Concept 2026)
The theme is to exploit the recent progress in conceptual modeling theory, principles, and applications required in conceptualizing, managing, and building Big Data and AI-based Data-oriented Design. Applications include autonomous activity recognition and ambient assisted living in a smart life, context awareness using big data gathered from various sensors, and this will be useful for not only the physical world but also the future cyber society.
