Opis

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modelling, ER 2000, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA in October 2000. The 37 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers and eight industrial abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 140 submitted papers. The book offers topical sections on database integration, temporal and active database modelling, database and data warehouse design techniques, analysis patterns and ontologies, web-based information systems, business process modelling, conceptual modelling and XML, engineering and multimedia application modelling, object-oriented modelling, applying object-oriented technology, quality in conceptual modelling, and application design using UML.
