SEKE 2008 Paper Accepted

Cheerio,

my paper "Improving Automatic Model Creation using Ontologies" has been accepted by the SEKE 2008 conference on April, 17th.
The ratings for the paper turned out to be 2 times .80 and one reviewer chose to give me only .20. He/she also doubted that my paper belonged to the conference and therefore weakly rejected it. I guess I'll have to make up for that in the camera ready version which is due May, 7th.

My paper is 7 pages long, including references and illustrations. I need to crop this down to 6 pages and make the article firmer and preciser. This is going to be my job for the next two days. I am planning on re-submitting the paper early next week.
I will post the camera-ready version here in this blog so you can take a look at it.

So far, I still have to book the flight and make hotel reservations.

I'll keep you updated.

Submitted article - waiting for reviewer's feedback

Again, it's been a while since my last post.
Matter of fact I submitted my first article concerning ontology usage to improve automatic model creation about 10 days ago. The choice was the SEKE conference, taking place in the bay area in July.
The submitted version of the paper can be downloaded here.
Information about acceptance or refusal should be available within the next 2 weeks.

On my next steps, I am working together with a student trying to build a completely covered process from textual specification to UML model directly.

Let's see what new discoveries lie on that path for us.
