Summary

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2010, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in November 2010.The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 147 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on business process modeling; requirements engineering and modeling 1; requirements engineering and modeling 2; data evolution and adaptation; operations on spatio-temporal data; demos and posters; model abstraction, feature modeling, and filtering; integration and composition; consistency, satisfiability and compliance checking; using ontologies for query answering; and document and query processing.
