Conceptual Modeling, Databases, and CASE: An Integrated View of Information Systems Development

Be the first to write a review

Overview

Experts agree that major advances will be achieved in the development of information systems when the successful integration of conceptual modeling, databases, and CASE has taken place. Although many conferences and journals are devoted to these three individual areas and volumes of collected papers report on work in each area, there is a serious lack of material which interrelates the three fields in a cohesive manner. This important work provides a single reference point for anyone wishing to understand how ...

More About This Book

Overview

Experts agree that major advances will be achieved in the development of information systems when the successful integration of conceptual modeling, databases, and CASE has taken place. Although many conferences and journals are devoted to these three individual areas and volumes of collected papers report on work in each area, there is a serious lack of material which interrelates the three fields in a cohesive manner. This important work provides a single reference point for anyone wishing to understand how these three areas may dramatically influence the development of information systems in the future. Written by leading researchers in these fields, Conceptual Modeling, Databases, and CASE clearly demonstrates that there are different models and techniques in all three areas and develops a framework for examining these models and techniques across the three fields. The following important issues are addressed: influences of new conceptual models on CASE methods and tools; influences of new database technology on CASE architecture and information systems development; impact of new conceptual models on database functionality; and impact of data base technology on conceptual modeling. This valuable book provides a general discussion of research directions in each area, reviews contemporary approaches and critically examines the relationship of the approaches in each section in relation to the other two sections. The first section of the book will deal with advanced conceptual modeling approaches. The second section presents the new generation of database systems and the third section discusses new approaches to CASE from both methodological and tools perspectives.
