Domain-Specific Conceptual Modeling

Dimitris Karagiannis is Full Professor for Business Informatics at the University of Vienna since 1993, leading the Research Group Knowledge Engineering. His research interests include meta-modelling, knowledge engineering, business process management, enterprise architecture management, and artificial intelligence. The industrial application of his meta-modelling research was demonstrated within the BOC Group, a European software- and consulting company. In parallel scientific applications of his research are used in the Digital Innovation Environment of OMiLAB, an active global community for conceptual modelling that benefits from open artefacts.

Moonkun Lee is Full Professor for Computer Science and Engineering at Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) in the Republic of Korea since 1996. His main research interests are software round-trip engineering, distributed real-time systems, formal methods, ontology, and behavior engineering. Currently he focuses on the specification, analysis, verification, and the implementation of cyber-physical systems for smart cities and industry applications.

Knut Hinkelmann is Professor for Information Systems and Head of the Master of Science in Business Information Systems at the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, where he also is head of the research group Intelligent Information Systems. He is also Managing Director of OMiLAB since 2020. His research interests are Enterprise Modeling and Artificial Intelligence.

Wilfrid Utz is one of the Managing Directors of OMiLAB, the non-profit organisation supporting the conceptual modelling community organized around emerging topics with respect to domain-specific conceptual modelling. He completed his PhD thesis in 2020 at the University of Vienna in the field of meta-model design and knowledge representation using conceptual structures and has been involved in numerous international research and innovationprojects.
