From conceptual models to schemata: An object-process-based data warehouse construction method
Data warehouse modeling is a complex task, which involves knowledge of business processes of the domain of discourse, understanding...
Formalising and animating multiple instances in BPMN collaborations
The increasing adoption of modelling methods contributes to a better understanding of the flow of processes, from the internal...
A scenario-driven approach to trace dependency analysis
Software development artifacts-such as model descriptions, diagrammatic languages, abstract (formal) specifications, and source code-are highly interrelated where changes in...
Developing secure data warehouses with a UML extension
Data Warehouses (DWs), Multidimensional (MD) Databases, and On-Line Analytical Processing Applications are used as a very powerful mechanism for...
On object systems and behavioral inheritance
We consider state-based behavior in object-oriented analysis and design, as it arises, for example, in specifying behavior in the...
A modular approach to the specification and management of time duration constraints in BPMN
The modeling and management of business processes deals with temporal aspects both in the inherent representation of activity coordination...
Solving the Class Responsibility Assignment Problem in Object-Oriented Analysis with Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms
In the context of object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD), class responsibility assignment is not an easy skill to acquire....
Derived types and taxonomic constraints in conceptual modeling
This paper analyzes the relationships between derived types and taxonomic constraints. The objectives are to see which taxonomic constraints...
Modeling security-relevant data semantics
The use of an extended data model which represents both integrity and secrecy aspects of data is demonstrated. This...
Determining object interaction in object-oriented deductive conceptual models
We present the main components of an object-oriented deductive approach to conceptual modelling of information systems. This approach does...
