Abstract

Conceptual modeling is an important part of information systems development and use that involves identifying and representing relevant aspects of reality. Although the past decades have experienced continuous digitalization of services and products that impact business and society, conceptual modeling efforts are still required to support new technologies as they emerge. This paper surveys research on conceptual modeling over the past five decades and shows how its topics and trends continue to evolve to accommodate emerging technologies, while remaining grounded in basic constructs. We survey over 5,300 papers that address conceptual modeling topics from the 1970s to the present, which are collected from 35 multidisciplinary journals and conferences, and use them as the basis from which to analyze the progression of conceptual modeling. The important role that conceptual modeling should play in our evolving digital world is discussed, and future research directions proposed.

Universal conceptual modeling: principles, benefits, and an agenda for conceptual modeling research
Abstract
The paper proposes universal conceptual modeling, conceptual modeling that strives to be as general-purpose as possible and accessible to anyone, professionals and non-experts alike. The idea of universal conceptual modeling is meant to catalyze ...
Past Trends and Future Prospects in Conceptual Modeling - A Bibliometric Analysis
Conceptual Modeling
Abstract
Research in conceptual modeling is today undertaken in a large number of fields. We describe the results from a bibliometric analysis of major outlets for conceptual modeling research for investigating the evolution of research topics. As a basis ...
An extended taxonomy of advanced information visualization and interaction in conceptual modeling
Abstract
Conceptual modeling is integral to computer science research and is widely adopted in industrial practices, e.g., business process and enterprise architecture management. Providing adequate and usable modeling tools is necessary to ...
Highlights
- We propose a taxonomy for advanced information visualization and interaction in conceptual modeling.
