The 3rd International Workshop on Active Conceptual Modeling of Learning ACM-L 2010

We will study a framework for the active conceptual modeling of learning based on the Entity-Relationship (ER) approach and human cognition paradigm for developing a learning-base to support and develop complex applications, act on inevitable “surprises” and cognitive capability development. The goal is to develop new technology for building computer systems that help us learn from the past, cope with the present and plan for the future. We need relationships between system state snapshots to simulate the what-if scenarios. Temporal and spatial concepts and relationships are now not taken into account properly. Inadequate dynamic modeling constructs result in incomplete representation of the changing real-world domain. To achieve active information processing, learning from our past experience is essential. Learning is a continuous process by which relatively permanent behavioral changes occur. Lessons learned are knowledge gained by reflecting on experiences that can avoid the repetitions of past mishaps. The domain can be described in terms of topic, time/space, people, scenarios/events, cause/effect and general knowledge about the situation or domain. Active conceptual modeling is a continual process of describing all concepts and aspects of a domain, its activities, and changes under different perspectives. The model is viewed as a multilevel (e.g. strategic, tactical, operational) and multi-perspective high-level abstraction of reality. Two earlier workshops on ACM-L have been arranged 2006 and 2009. More details are readable from the Call for Papers.
