Conceptual Modeling, Databases, and Case: An Integrated View of Information Systems DevelopmentPericles Loucopoulos, Roberto Zicari Conceptual Modeling is used to create databases, appropriate across numerous applications areas, while still retaining ``custom'' qualities of the individual database. Contains original chapters written by leading international researchers in order to integrate Conceptual Modeling, Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) and database systems and present their combined impact on the development of new information systems. Features papers on Extensible Systems, Deductive Databases and Object-Oriented DBMS. |
