En savoir plus sur le livre

This book offers a comprehensive overview of conceptual modeling, stemming from research presented at the 18th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER '99). It aims to cover the full spectrum of conceptual modeling related to database and information systems design, including data and process modeling, database technology, and applications. The proceedings present new insights across these areas. The collection features 33 selected papers organized into 11 sessions, focusing on key themes such as schema transformation, evolution, integration, temporal database design, views and reuse in conceptual modeling, advanced conceptual modeling, business process modeling, workflows, and data warehouse design. Additionally, three invited papers from keynote speakers renowned in the field contribute further perspectives. Peter Chen discusses his ongoing research on the ER model, XML, and the Web. Georges Gardarin shares initial findings from an ESPRIT project that integrates various data sources using XML and XML-QL. Lastly, Matthias Jarke explores methods for capturing and evaluating experiences related to process designs in process data warehouses. This collection serves as a vital resource for those interested in the latest advancements in conceptual modeling and database research.
