About VMBO 2021
The Conceptual and Cognitive Modelling Research Group (CORE) would like to invite you to submit a paper to the 15th International Workshop on Value Modelling and Business Ontologies (VMBO 2021), scheduled to happen virtually between March 4th and 5th, 2021.
The importance of modeling the essence of enterprises on a level that abstracts from operational details is increasingly recognized. Two established enterprise modeling approaches are value modeling and business ontology. Business ontology provides abstract descriptions of enterprises in their business context, focusing on what is needed to create and transfer value. Value modeling is a business modeling approach that focuses on the value objects exchanged in business networks. Business ontology and value modeling research are conducted using instruments like REA (Resources, Events, Agents), the Business Model Canvas, the e3value toolset, VDML, and the Enterprise Engineering framework.
The goals of the VMBO workshop series are to bring together researchers with an interest in value modeling and business ontology to present and discuss the current state of enterprise or business modeling and to identify key areas for further research, including, specifically but not exclusively, innovative business model design, service design, systemic trust for value exchanges, ontologies for modeling economic concepts and institutions, and value-aware systems design.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should describe original research ideas or contributions, present problems or challenges encountered in practice, or report on industrial cases and practices.
We encourage authors to submit papers for which they would like feedback from other participants of the workshop.
Submissions must:
- Respect the 8-page limit (excluding references)
- Be submitted in the PDF format
- Follow the proceedings style of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
We support the submission of VMBO papers afterward to a special issue of a journal, e.g., Journal of Applied Ontology (JAO) or Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting (JETA), if possible. Note that submitted papers will be reviewed only marginally. The program committee will use the papers to put together a final program; the aim is to accommodate all relevant papers with sufficient quality.
