Conceptual modeling is about describing the semantics of
software applications at a high level of abstraction in terms of
structure, behavior, and user interaction.
Embley and Thalheim start with a manifesto stating that the
dream of developing information systems strictly by conceptual
modeling as expressed in the phrase the model is the code is
becoming reality. The subsequent contributions written by leading
researchers in the field support the manifesto's assertions,
showing not only how to abstractly model complex information
systems but also how to formalize abstract specifications in ways
that let developers complete programming tasks within the
conceptual model itself. They are grouped into sections on
programming with conceptual models, structure modeling, process
modeling, user interface modeling, and special challenge areas such
as conceptual geometric modeling, information integration, and
biological conceptual modeling.
The Handbook of Conceptual Modeling collects in a single volume
many of the best conceptual-modeling ideas, techniques, and
practices as well as the challenges that drive research in the
field. Thus it is much more than a traditional handbook for
advanced professionals, as it also provides both a firm foundation
for the field of conceptual modeling, and points researchers and
graduate students towards interesting challenges and paths for how
to contribute to this fundamental field of computer science.
