From E-R to “A-R” — Modelling strategic actor relationships for business process reengineering
As information systems are increasingly being called upon to play vital roles in organizations, conceptual modelling techniques need to...
Standard-driven re-engineering of entity-relationship schemas
System evolution and re-engineering are becoming increasingly important as the size and complexity of Information Systems continue to grow....
The Object Flow Model: A formal framework for describing the dynamic construction, destruction and...
This research complements active object-oriented database management systems by providing a formal, yet conceptually-natural model for complex object construction...
A formal software specification tool using the entity-relationship model
Software engineering, like any other engineering field, needs to use formal methods to prove the reliability of its products...
On complex objects and versioning in complex environments
Many current extended entity relationship (EER) models lack the support for complex objects, versioning and slightly explore the aggregation...
An overview of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory extended entity-relationship database tools
In this paper we briefly overview a suite of tools developed at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) for aiding users...
Application and system prototyping via an extensible object-oriented environment
Due to the various requirements of nontraditional applications, extensibility of database management systems has become a theme for several...
A generic data model for the support of multiple user interaction facilities
User interaction facilities are usually the weakest component of DBMS. They are typically few in number and quite impoverished...
Reflection in a uniform behavioral object model
We present the uniform meta-architecture of the TIGUKAT object model and show how it provides reflection in objectbase management...
Using queries to improve database reverse engineering
This paper describes a technique that supports Extended Entity-Relationship (EER) schema extraction from an operating relational database. In this...
