      <abstract>
        <p>ER Forum, Demo and Posters 2022 was a co-satellite event of the 41st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2022) whose overarching theme was conceptual modeling to support big data analytics and AI. In general, the ER conference series concerns a wide variety of themes such as foundations of conceptualisation, modeling and modeling methods, ontologies, data and object management, as well as advanced and cross-disciplinary applications and experiences with conceptual modeling. The ER Forum, Demo, and Posters track is a vibrant platform for presenting and discussing novel research outcomes that address diverse topics related to conceptual modeling. In this track, innovation prevails over maturity, in particular regarding emerging new research topics. Thus, the main goal of the track is to facilitate the interaction, discussion and exchange of ideas among presenters and participants. ER Forum, Demo and Posters 2022 accepted four types of submissions: forum papers (full and short ), vision papers, tool demonstrations, and follow-up abstracts (new experiences of previously published research results). We received 21 submissions, whereas 9 full research papers, 1 vision paper, and 3 tool demonstrations were accepted. During the peer-review process, each submission received three reviews by an international program committee, whose decisions were followed by an online discussion with one of the organizing chairs for reaching the final decisions.</p>

      <p>ER 2022 was planned to be held in Hyderabad, India, on 17-20 October 2022. However, due to some
relevant consequences of the COVID pandemic, the whole conference and satellite events were switched
to a virtual format at the same dates.
Our great thanks and appreciation go to the authors who dedicated their ideas and time to aggregate their
novel research and submit the papers for consideration to the publication on this event. We would also
like to thank the program committee members for their valuable reviews and discussions about the
submissions. Finally, we would like to thank the organizing committee of ER 2022 for their great and
continuous support and cooperation, in particular Manfred Jeusfeld, Kamalakar Karlapalem and Jolita
Ralyté.
