Paper Submission: http://ejc.komazawa-u.ac.jp/ejc2023review/
Submission Deadline: 15 January 2023 31 January 2023 (Extended)
The European Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC) series initially started as a cooperation initiative between Japan and Finland in 1982.

The geographical scope has expanded and today covers Europe and other countries.

1. Conceptual modelling: Modelling and specification languages; Domain-specific conceptual modelling; Concepts, concept theories and ontologies; Conceptual modelling of large and heterogeneous systems; Conceptual modelling of spatial, temporal, and biological data; Methods for developing, validating and communicating conceptual models.
2. Knowledge and information modelling and discovery: Knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and knowledge management; Advanced data mining and analysis methods; Conceptions of knowledge and information; Modelling information requirements; Intelligent information systems; Information recognition and information modelling.
