Conceptual modeling is a research area within the field of computer science that focuses on designing and creating abstract representations (models) of real-world systems or processes. These models help to clarify and communicate complex ideas, requirements, or designs in a clear and structured way. Conceptual modeling is often used in the development of software systems, databases, and business processes to ensure that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the system being built. The goal of conceptual modeling is to provide a foundation for more detailed technical specifications, implementation, and testing of systems.
