Download or read book Entity relationship Approach the Core of Conceptual Modelling written by Hannu Kangassalo and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1991 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, researchers and practitioners share developments, raise new research issues, and exchange experiences related to the use of the ER approach in the development, maintenance, and use of information systems. From the original ER model, several more complete variants have been developed. In addition, the ER model has been applied in other approaches, such as semantic and other object-oriented models, resulting in their incorporation into the ER model. Four major themes are addressed: Knowledge Representation, Conceptual Modelling and Data Base Design, New Approaches in Database Management Systems and in Information Systems, and Innovative Theories and Applications.

Download or read book Metrics For Software Conceptual Models written by Marcela Genero and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-01-04 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that “measuring quality is the key to developing high-quality software systems” is gaining relevance. Moreover, it is widely recognised that the key to obtaining better software systems is to measure the quality characteristics of early artefacts, produced at the conceptual modelling phase. Therefore, improving the quality of conceptual models is a major step towards the improvement of software system development.Since the 1970s, software engineers had been proposing high quantities of metrics for software products, processes and resources but had not been paying any special attention to conceptual modelling. By the mid-1990s, however, the need for metrics for conceptual modelling had emerged. This book provides an overview of the most relevant existing proposals of metrics for conceptual models, covering conceptual models for both products and processes.
Download or read book The Evolution of Conceptual Modeling written by Roland Kaschek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceptual modeling represents a recent approach to creating knowledge. It has emerged in response to the computer revolution, which started in the middle of the 20th century. Computers, in the meantime, have become a major knowledge media. Conceptual modeling provides an answer to the difficulties experienced throughout the development of computer applications and aims at creating effective, reasonably priced, and sharable knowledge about using computers in business. Moreover, it has become evident that conceptual modeling has the potential to exceed the boundaries of business and computer usage. This state-of-the-art survey originates from the International Seminar on the Evolution of Conceptual Modeling, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in April 2008. The major objective of this seminar was to look into conceptual modeling from a historical perspective with a view towards the future of conceptual modeling and to achieve a better understanding of conceptual modeling issues in several different domains of discourse, going beyond individual (modeling) projects. The book contains 14 chapters. These were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 26 presentations at the seminar and are preceded by a detailed preface providing general insights into the field of conceptual modeling that are not necessarily discussed in any of the chapters but nevertheless aid in conceptualizing the inner structure and coherence of the field. The chapters are grouped into the following three thematic sections: the evolution of conceptual modeling techniques; the extension of conceptual modeling to a service-oriented, peer-to-peer, or Web context; and new directions for conceptual modeling.

Download or read book Entity Relationship Approach ER 93 written by Ramez A. Elmasri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-07-28 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to computational morphology, particularly to the construction of a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional closed object boundary through a set of points in arbitrary position. By applying techniques from computational geometry and CAGD, new results are developed in four stages of the construction process: (a) the gamma-neighborhood graph for describing the structure of a set of points; (b) an algorithm for constructing a polygonal or polyhedral boundary (based on (a)); (c) the flintstone scheme as a hierarchy for polygonal and polyhedral approximation and localization; (d) and a Bezier-triangle based scheme for the construction of a smooth piecewise cubic boundary.
