Conceptual models play an important role in many organizations. They serve as tools for communication and documentation, are often a central part in process improvement initiatives, and are key to the development and evolution of information systems. Existing modeling tools typically support end users in a rather generic and non-personalized manner. However, users not only differ in their modeling expertise and the challenges they encounter while modeling, but also in their preferences. Therefore, they would benefit from a new generation of modeling environments that are highly personalized and adapt themselves to users’ needs. This keynote presents a vision of such modeling environments with a focus on process modeling. It highlights this potential with several examples from our research and touches upon challenges that come with the development of next generation modeling environments.
