Abstraction, Reformulation, and Approximation
This volume contains the proceedings of SARA 2000, the fourth Symposium on Abstraction, Reformulations, and Approximation (SARA). The conference was held at Horseshoe Bay Resort and Conference Club, Lake LBJ, Texas, July 26– 29, 2000, just prior to the AAAI 2000 conference in Austin. Previous SARA conferences took place at Jackson Hole in Wyoming (1994), Ville d’Est ́erel in Qu ́ebec (1995), and Asilomar in California (1998). The symposium grewout of a series of workshops on abstraction, approximation, and reformulation that had taken place alongside AAAI since 1989. This year’s symposium was actually scheduled to take place at Lago Vista Clubs & Resort on Lake Travis but, due to the...
Advances in Databases and Information Systems
This volume contains 29 submitted and 2 invited papers presented at the tenth East-European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADVIS 2003), which took place in Dresden, Germany, September 3–6, 2003. An international program committee of 42 members from 24 countries s- ected these contributions from 86 submissions. Eight additional contributions were selected as short papers and have been published in a separate volume of local proceedings by the organizing institution. For the ?rst time, ADBIS also included an industrial program consisting of nine submitted presentations by representatives of commercial companies active in the database market. ADBIS 2003 was the t...
Advances in Spatial Data Handling
This book, entitled Advances in Spatial Data Handling, is a compendium of papers resulting from the International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling (SDH), held in Ottawa, Canada, July 9-12, 2002. The SDH conference series has been organised as one of the main activities of the International Geographical Union (IGU) since it was first started in Zurich in 1984. In the late 1990’s the IGU Commission of Geographic Information Systems was discontinued and a study group was formed to succeed it in 1997. Much like the IGU Commission, the objectives of the Study Group are to create a network of people and research centres addressing geographical information science and to facilitate exchange of information. The International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, which is the most important activity of the IGU Study Group, has, throughout its 18 year history been highly regarded as one of the most important GIS conferences in the world.
Conceptual Modeling - ER 2008
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2008, held in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2008. The 33 revised full papers presented together with 18 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 178 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on novel semantics; ontology; patterns; privacy, compliance, location; process management and design; process models; queries; similarity and coherence; space and time; system design; translation, transformation, and search.
Conceptual Modeling – ER 2011
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 30th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2011, held in Brussels, Belgium, in October/November 2011. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 14 short papers and three keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 157 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on modeling goals and compliance; human and socio-technical factors; ontologies; data model theory; model development and maintainability; user interfaces and software classification; evolution, propagation and refinement; UML and requirements modeling; views, queries and search; requirements and business intelligence; MDA and ontology-based modeling; process modeling; panels.
Conceptual Modeling - ER '98
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER '98, held in Singapore, in November 1998. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 95 submissions. The book is divided into chapters on conceptual modeling and design, user interface modeling, information retrieval on the Web, semantics and constraints, conceptual modeling tools, quality and reliability metrics, industrial experience in conceptual modeling, object-oriented database management systems, data warehousing, industrial case studies, object-oriented approaches.
Advances in Conceptual Modeling
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of workshops, held at the 31st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2012, in Florence, Italy in October 2012. The 32 revised papers presented together with 6 demonstrations were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. The papers are organized in sections on the workshops CMS 2012, EDCM-NoCoDa, MODIC, MORE-BI, RIGIM, SeCoGIS and WISM. The workshops cover different conceptual modeling topics, from requirements, goal and service modeling, to evolution and change management, to non-conventional data access, and they span a wide range of domains including Web information systems, geographical information systems, business intelligence, data-intensive computing.
The Evolution of Conceptual Modeling
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 Conc...
Geographical Information and Planning
The 1990s have seen some remarkable changes in geographical information (GI) provision and computer technology that have impacted on many of the activities that constitute planning in all its different forms. However, relatively few texts in the field of geographical information systems (GIS) and planning have been published since Henk Scholten and John Stillwell edited Geographical Information Systems for Urban and Regional Planning in 1990. This volume seeks to redress the balance by showing how GI of various types is being used in urban, physical, environmental, socio-economic and business planning contexts at local, regional and national scales with the assistance of GIS and modelling me...
