The Second International Conference on Model & Data Engineering (MEDI) will be held from 3 to 5 October 2012 in Poitiers, Futuroscope – France. The main objective of our conference is to provide a forum for the dissemination of research accomplishments and to promote the interaction and collaboration between the models and data research communities. MEDI’2012 provides an international platform for the presentation of research on models and data theory, development of advanced technologies related to models and data and their advanced applications. This international scientific event, initiated by researchers from Euro-Mediterranean countries, aims also at promoting the creation of north-south scientific networks, projects and faculty/student exchanges.

All accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer-Verlag.

Best Papers will be Recommended for special issue for Journal on Data Semantic (JoDS) (Springer).
