LogiQL is a new state-of-the-art programming language based on
Datalog. It can be used to build applications that combine
transactional, analytical, graph, probabilistic, and mathematical
programming. LogiQL makes it possible to build hybrid applications
that previously required multiple programming languages and
databases. In this first book to cover LogiQL, the authors explain
how to design, implement, and query deductive databases using this
new programming language. LogiQL's declarative approach enables
complex data structures and business rules to be simply specified
and then automatically executed. It is especially suited to
business applications requiring complex rules to be implemented
efficiently, for example predictive analytics and supply chain
optimization. Suitable for both novices and experienced developers,
the book is written in easy-to-understand language. It includes
many examples and exercises throughout to illustrate the main
concepts and consolidate understanding.

This book contains the proceedings of two well established
scienti?c events held in connection with the CAiSE conferences
relating to the areas of enterprise, business-processes, and
information systems modeling: - The 11th International Workshop on
Business Process Modeling, Devel- ment and Support (BPMDS 2010); -
The 15th International Conference on Exploring Modeling Methods for
S- tems Analysis and Design (EMMSAD 2010). The two events are
introduced brie?y below. BPMDS 2010 BPMDS 2010wasthe 11th in a
seriesof workshopsthat havesuccessfully served as a forum for
raising and discussing new ideas in the area of business process
development and support. The BPMDS series has produced 10 workshops
from 1998 to 2009. Eight of these workshops, including the last
seven (BPMDS 2003-BPMDS 2009) were held in conjunction with CAiSE
conferences. The BPMDS workshops focus on topics relating to IT
support for business processes, which addresses key issues that are
relevant to the continuous development of information systems
theory. The continued interest in these topics within the
industrial and academic IS communities is re?ected by the success
of the last BPMDS workshops and the emergence of new conferences
devoted to this theme. Previous BPMDS workshops focused on the
di?erent phases in the business

Papers were invited based on their quality, relevance and
significance, and the - ability of extending their results.
Extended versions prepared by authors were subject to the
traditional two-round scholarly review process, and the authors
were required to respond to all concerns expressed by the reviewers
before papers were accepted. Eight papers were eventually accepted
for publication in this issue. The selection of SWESE best papers
eventually resulted in the acceptance of two papers. The first
paper "Experiences in the Design of Semantic Services Using Web En-
neering Methods and Tools," by Brambilla, Ceri, Celino, Cerizza,
Della Valle, Facca, Turati, and Tzviskou, shows how classical
software engineering methods (such as formal business process
development and automatic code generation) combine with semantic
methods and tools (i.e., ontology engineering, semantic service
annotation and discovery) to forge a new approach to software
development for the Semantic Web. In the paper, the authors present
their experience in the participation to the - mantic Web Service
Challenge 2006, where the proposed approach achieved very good
results in solving the proposed problems. The second paper
"Automatically Generated Model Transformations Using Ont- ogy
Engineering Space," by Roser and Bauer, presents an approach to
using the - mantic technologies to improve cross-organizational
modeling by automated gene- tion of model transformations. By
automated generation of mappings it offers new possibilities for
the integration of domain specific languages and 'legacy' models in
a plug&play manner, making it easier for new organizations to
join collaborations.

categories of Fundamental Concepts and Theories; Development and
Design Methodologies; Tools and Technologies; Application and
Utilization; Critical Issues; and Emerging Trends.
Information Modeling and Relational Databases, second edition,
provides an introduction to ORM (Object-Role Modeling)and much
more. In fact, it is the only book to go beyond introductory
coverage and provide all of the in-depth instruction you need to
transform knowledge from domain experts into a sound database
design. This book is intended for anyone with a stake in the
accuracy and efficacy of databases: systems analysts, information
modelers, database designers and administrators, and programmers.
Terry Halpin, a pioneer in the development of ORM, blends
conceptual information with practical instruction that will let you
begin using ORM effectively as soon as possible. Supported by
examples, exercises, and useful background information, his
step-by-step approach teaches you to develop a
natural-language-based ORM model, and then, where needed, abstract
ER and UML models from it. This book will quickly make you
proficient in the modeling technique that is proving vital to the
development of accurate and efficient databases that best meet real
business objectives.
*Presents the most indepth coverage of Object-Role Modeling
available anywhere, including a thorough update of the book for
ORM2, as well as UML2 and E-R (Entity-Relationship) modeling.
*Includes clear coverage of relational database concepts, and the
latest developments in SQL and XML, including a new chapter on the
impact of XML on information modeling, exchange and transformation.
* New and improved case studies and exercises are provided for many
topics.
* The book's associated web site provides answers to exercises,
appendices, advanced SQL queries, and links to downloadable ORM
tools.
Modeling is used across a number of tasks in connection to
information systems, but it is rare to see and easily compare all
the uses of diagrammatical models as knowledge representation in
one place, highlighting both commonalities and differences between
different kinds of modeling. ""Innovations in Information Systems
Modeling: Methods and Best Practices"" provides up-to-date coverage
of central topics in information systems modeling and architectures
by leading researchers in the field. With chapters presented by top
researchers from countries around the globe, this book provides a
truly international perspective on the latest developments in
information systems modeling, methods, and best practices.
This book is for database designers and database administrators
