This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, DESRIST 2020, held in Kristiansand, Norway, in December 2020. The 28 revised full research papers included in the volume together with 7 research-in-progress papers and 9 prototype papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: digital public services; data science; design principles; methodology; platforms and networks; and service science. Due to the Corona pandemic this event was held virtually.
Searching for Semantics: Data Mining, Reverse Engineering Stefano Spaccapietra Fred M aryanski Swiss Federal Institute of Technology University of Connecticut Lausanne, Switzerland Storrs, CT, USA REVIEW AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS In the last few years, database semantics research has turned sharply from a highly theoretical domain to one with more focus on practical aspects. The DS- 7 Working Conference held in October 1997 in Leysin, Switzerland, demon strated the more pragmatic orientation of the current generation of leading researchers. The papers presented at the meeting emphasized the two major areas: the discovery of semantics and semantic data modeling. The work in the latter category in...
Researchers in areas such as artificial intelligence, formal and computational linguistics, biomedical informatics, conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering and information retrieval have come to realise that a solid foundation for their research calls for serious work in ontology, understood as a general theory of the types of entities and relations that make up their respective domains of inquiry. In all these areas, attention is now being focused on the content of information rather than on just the formats and languages used to represent information. The clearest example of this development is provided by the many initiatives growing up around the project of the Semantic Web. And, as t...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2010, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in November 2010. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 147 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on business process modeling; requirements engineering and modeling 1; requirements engineering and modeling 2; data evolution and adaptation; operations on spatio-temporal data; demos and posters; model abstraction, feature modeling, and filtering; integration and composition; consistency, satisfiability and compliance checking; using ontologies for query answering; and document and query processing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 42nd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2023, held in Lisbon, Portugal, during November 6-9, 2023. The 21 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. Additionally, the book contains 4 keynote speeches and 3 tutorials, and one invited paper corresponding to one of the keynote speeches. The papers cover a broad spectrum of classical and modern topics on conceptual modeling, including research and practice in the theories of concepts and ontologies, techniques for transforming conceptual models into effective implementations, and methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models.
This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of five international workshops held in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2005, in Klagenfurt, Austria, in October 2005. The 40 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of seven tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on best practices of UML, experience reports and new applications, model evaluation and requirements modeling, metamodeling and model driven development, positions in engineering agent oriented systems, agent oriented methodologies and conceptual modeling, agent communication and coordination, geographic information systems, spatial and spatio-temporal data representation, spatial relations, spatial queries, analysis and data mining, data modeling and visualisation, conceptual modeling approaches for e-business, information system models quality, and quality driven processes.
Information system design and development is of interest and importance to researchers and practitioners, as advances in this discipline impact a number of other related fields and help to guide future research. Theoretical and Practical Advances in Information Systems Development: Emerging Trends and Approaches contains fundamental concepts, emerging theories, and practical applications in database management, systems analysis and design, and software engineering. Contributions present critical findings in information resources management that inform and advance the field.
