Inhaltsangabe

Conceptual modeling is fundamental to any domain where one must cope with complex real-world situations and systems because it fosters communication - tween technology experts and those who would bene?t from the application of those technologies. Conceptual modeling is the key mechanism for und- standing and representing the domains of information system and database - gineering but also increasingly for other domains including the new “virtual” e-environmentsandtheinformationsystemsthatsupportthem.Theimportance of conceptual modeling in software engineering is evidenced by recent interest in “model-drivenarchitecture”and“extremenon-programming”.Conceptualm- eling also plays a prominent rolein various technical disciplines and in the social sciences. The Annual International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (referred to as the ER Conference) provides a central forum for presenting and discussing current research and applications in which conceptual modeling is the major emphasis. In keeping with this tradition, ER 2005, the 24th ER Conference, spanned the spectrum of conceptual modeling including research and practice in areas such as theories of concepts and ontologies underlying conceptual m- eling, methods and tools for developing and communicating conceptual models, and techniques for transforming conceptual models into e?ective (information) system implementations. Moreover, new areas of conceptual modeling incl- ing Semantic Web services and the interdependencies of conceptual modeling with knowledge-based, logical and linguistic theories and approaches were also addressed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Raymond T. Ng is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia.He received a Ph.D.in Computer Science from the University of Maryland in 1992. His main re search area for the past two decades is on data mining, with a specific focus on health informatics and text mining. He has pub lished over 150 peer-reviewed publications on data clustering, outlier detection, OLAP processing, health informatics, and text mining. He is the recipient of two best paper awards, from the 2001 ACM SIGKDD conference, which is the premier data min ing conference worldwide, and the 2005 ACM SIGMOD con ference, which is one of the top database conferences worldwide. He was a program co-chair of the 2009 International Conference on Data Engineering, and a program co-chair of the 2002 ACM SIGKDD conference. He was also one of the general co-chairs of the 2008 ACM SIGMOD conference. He was an editorial board member of the Very Large Database Journal and the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering until 2008. Patricia C. Arocena is a Research Assistant in Computer Science at the University ofToronto.She received her M.Eng.in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2001 and her Ph.D. in Computer Science (expected 2013), both from the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on developing techniques to support efficient and practical use of schema mappings in information integration, and in particular, on embracing incompleteness in the context of data-driven decision making. Denilson Barbosa is an Associate Professor of Computing Sci ence at the University of Alberta. He obtained a Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of Toronto, working on Web data manage ment. He received an IBM Faculty Award for his work on XML benchmarking, and an Alberta Ingenuity New Faculty Award for his work on extraction and integration of data from the Web. He received the Best Paper award at the 26th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE 2010). At the time of writing, he was a lead investigator on the NSERC Strategic Net work on Business Intelligence, through which the SONEX sys tem for large-scale relation extraction on the web is developed. Giuseppe Carenini is an Associate Professor of Computer Sci ence at the University of British Columbia.He is also an Associate member of the UBC Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES). Giuseppe has broad interdisciplinary in terests. His work on natural language processing and information visualization to support decision making has been published in over 80 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Carenini was the area chair for "Sentiment Analysis, Opinion Mining, and Text Classification" of ACL 2009 and the area chair for "Summarization and Genera tion" of NAACL 2012. He has recently co-edited an ACM-TIST Special Issue on "Intelligent Visual Interfaces for Text Analysis." In July 2011, he published a co-authored book on Methods for Mining and SummarizingText Conver sations. In his work, Dr.Carenini has also extensively collaborated with industrial partners, including Microsoft and IBM. Giuseppe was awarded a Google Research Award and an IBM CASCON Best Exhibit Award in 2007 and 2010 respectively Oscar Pastor is Professor for object-oriented development methods at the Valencia University of Technology, Spain. He has taught software engineering for more than 10 years, his research during that time focusing on object-oriented conceptual modeling, requirements engineering, Web development, and model-based software production. He has headed prestigious scientific events like the World-Wide Web Conference in 2007 (Web Engineering Track) and the International Conference on Conceptual Modeling in 2005. In addition, he is the brain behind the OlivaNova Model Execution, an advanced MDA-based set of tools that produces a final software product starting from a conceptual schema where the system requirements are captured.Juan Carlos Molina is Research and Development Manager for CARE Technologies S.A., the company that develops the OlivaNova Model Execution set of tools which fully support the MDA-based, conceptual model-centric software development approach described in this book.
