This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art, in conceptual
modeling. It grew out of research papers presented at the 18th
International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER '99) and
arranged by the editors. The plan of the conference is to cover the
whole spectrum of conceptual modeling as it relates to database and
information systems design and to offer a complete coverage of data
and process modeling, database technology, and database
applications. The aim of the conference and of these proceedings is
to present new insights related to each of these topics. This book
contains both selected and invited papers. The 33 selected papers
are organized in 11 sessions encompassing the major themes of the
conference, especially : - schema transformation, evolution, and
integration - temporal database design - views and reuse in
conceptual modeling - advanced conceptual modeling - business
process modeling and workflows - data warehouse design. Besides the
selected papers, 3 invited papers present the views of three
keynote speakers, internationally known for their contribution to
conceptual modeling and database research and for their active role
in knowledge dissemination. Peter Chen presents the results of his
ongoing research on ER model, XML, and the Web. Georges Gardarin
presents the first results of an ESPRIT project federating various
data sources with XML and XML-QL. Finally, Matthias Jarke develops
a way to capture and evaluate the experiences gained about process
designs in so-called process data warehouses.
This volume contains a collection of selected papers presented at
the Symposium on Conceptual Modeling, which was held in Los
Angeles, California, on December 2, th 1997, immediately before the
16 International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER'97), which
was held at UCLA. A total of eighteen papers were selected for
inclusion in this volume. These papers are written by experts in
the conceptual modeling area and represent the most current
thinking of these experts. This volume also contains the summaries
of three workshops that were held on 6 7 December 1997, immediately
after the ER'97 conference at UCLA. The topics of these three
workshops are: * Behavioral Modeling * Conceptual Modeling in
Multimedia Information Seeking * What Is the Role of Cognition in
Conceptual Modeling? Since these topics are not only very important
but also very timely, we think it is appropriate to include the
summary of these three workshops in this volume. Those readers
interested in further investigating topics related to the three
workshops can either look up the individual paper published on the
Web or contact the authors directly. The summary paper by Chen at
the beginning of this volume also includes the summary of several
interesting speeches at the Symposium.
