Venue:
The first ER Conference of the new millennium will 
be held in scenic Salt Lake City, Utah, nestled among 
the majestic Wasatch Mountains.  Salt Lake City is 
the site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, and attendees 
will be able to visit many of the Olympic venues.  
Utah, the state with the highest concentration of Na-
tional Parks in the United States, is known for its 
natural beauty.  Within a few hours' drive there are 
forested mountains, world-class fishing streams and 
lakes, red-rock natural stone arches and other geo-
logical formations, spectacular canyons, and dino-
saur fossils - just to name a few.

Conference Scope:
This conference was originally devoted to the Entity-
Relationship (ER) model, but has expanded to in-
clude many types of semantic data modeling, behav-
ior and process modeling, object-oriented systems 
modeling, and modeling for Web-based applications.  
The conference embraces all phases of software de-
velopment including analysis, specification, design, 
implementation, evolution, and reengineering.
