Riassunto:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER '97, held in Los Angeles, California, USA, in November 1997.
The 32 revised full papers presented in the book were carefully selected from a total of 93 submissions. Also included are two full invited papers.The volume is divided in topical sections on automated design, temporal modeling, languages, activity modeling, applied modeling, object-oriented modeling, theoretical issues in modeling, experience and applications, distributed systems, integration, and tools.

Contenuti: From conceptual modeler to university president.- An Ontology for Database Design Automation.- Exploiting domain knowledge during the automated design of object-oriented databases.- Intelligent support for retrieval and synthesis of patterns for object-oriented design.- A conceptual development framework for temporal information systems.- Temporal features of class populations and attributes in conceptual models.- Managing schema evolution using a temporal object model.- Distributed object repositories: concepts and standards.- Extended SQL support for uncertain data.- Conceptual queries using ConQuer-II.- Transaction-based specification of database evolution.- Well-behaving rule systems for entity-relationship and object oriented models.- Behavior consistent refinement of object life cycles.- Activity flow: Towards incremental specification and flexible coordination of workflow activities.- Silver bullet shy on legacy mountain: When neat technology just doesn't work -or Miracles to save the realm: Faustian bargains or noble pursuits.- A multi-level architecture for representing enterprise data models.- Data model for customizing db schemas based on business policies.- Explaining conceptual models — An architecture and design principles.- Extending an object-oriented model: Multiple class objects.- Formal approach to metamodeling: A generic object-oriented perspective.- Associations and roles in object-oriented modeling.- Property covering: A powerful construct for schema derivations.- Inheritance graph hierarchy construction using rectangular decomposition of a binary relation and designer feedback.- Towards an object database approach for managing concept lattices.- An experience of integration of conceptual schemas in the Italian public administration.- Application-oriented design of behavior: A transformational approach using RADD.- A Java-based framework for processing distributed objects.- Fragmentation techniques for distributing object-oriented databases.- An agent based mobile system.- Is the future of conceptual modeling bleak or bright?.- Successful practices in developing a complex information model.- Resolving constraint conflicts in the integration of entity-relationship schemas.- A formal framework for er schema transformation.- A generative approach to database federation.- A virtual reality interface to an enterprise metadatabase.- A fully flexible CAME in a CASE environment.- A rapid development model for meta-CASE tool design.
