There is no single approach to modelling and model-based systems
development that is best for all possible situations. Therefore, a
high-level overview is needed in order to evaluate the options and
identify the optimal approach.
This unique textbook/reference introduces and describes in
detail the SEQUAL framework for understanding the quality of models
and modelling languages, including the numerous specialisations of
the generic framework, and the various ways in which this can be
used for different applications. Examples are provided from the
application of SEQUAL in industrial and governmental settings.
Topics and features: contains case studies, chapter summaries,
review questions, problems and exercises throughout the text, in
addition to Appendices on terminology and abbreviations; presents a
thorough introduction to the most important concepts in conceptual
modelling, including the underlying philosophical outlook on the
quality of models; describes the basic tasks and model types in
information systems development and evolution, and the main
methodologies for mixing different phases of information system
development; provides an overview of the general mechanisms and
perspectives used in conceptual modelling; predicts future trends
in technological development, and discusses how the role of
modelling can be envisaged in this landscape.
This didactic guide is essential reading for postgraduate
students of computer science, software engineering and information
systems wishing to learn more about conceptual modelling in their
preparation for professional practice. Developers of information
systems will also find the book an ideal reference to support their
professional activity.
