This paper has a dual character, combining a philosophical ontologicalexploration with a conceptual modeling approach in systems and softwareengineering. Such duality is already practiced in software engineering, inwhich the current dominant modeling thesis is object orientation. This workembraces an anti-thesis that centers solely on the process rather thanemphasizing the object. The approach is called occurrence-only modeling, inwhich an occurrence means an event or process where a process is defined as anorchestrated net of events that form a semantical whole. In contrast to objectorientation, in this occurrence-only modeling objects are nothing more thanlong events. We apply this paradigm to (1) a UML/BPMN inventory system insimulation engineering and (2) an event-based system that represents medicaloccurrences that occur on a timeline. The aim of such a venture is to enhancethe field of conceptual modeling by adding yet a new alternative methodologyand clarifying differences among approaches. Conceptual modeling s importancehas been recognized in many research areas. An active research community insimulation engineering demonstrates the growing interest in conceptualmodeling. In the clinical domains, temporal information elucidates theoccurrence of medical events (e.g., visits, laboratory tests). Theseapplications give an opportunity to propose a new approach that includes (a) aStoic ontology that has two types of being, existence and subsistence; (b)Thinging machines that limit activities to five generic actions; and (c)Lupascian logic, which handles negative events. With such a study, we aim tosubstantiate the assertion that the occurrence only approach is a genuinephilosophical base for conceptual modeling. The results in this paper seem tosupport such a claim.
