Conceptual Modeling - ER 2000: 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, October 9-12, 2000 Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science (1920))

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, 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 modeling, database and data warehouse design techniques, analysis patterns and ontologies, Web-based information systems, business process modeling, conceptual modeling and XML, engineering and multimedia application modeling, object-oriented modeling, applying object-oriented technology, quality in conceptual modeling, and application design using UML.
