Behavior consistent extension of object life cycles

0
Various notions of conformance between operations of a subtype and operations of a supertype have been proposed (e.g., contravariance...

Color-X Event Model: Integrated specification of the dynamics of individual objects

0
In this paper we show that specifying the dynamics of a system as a whole requires more information than...

Database design with behavior and views using parameterized Petri nets

0
We propose a method and a modeling tool for the design of relational databases. This conceptual design technique incorporates,...

SEER: Security enhanced entity-relationship model for secure relational databases

0
In this paper we propose extensions of the ER modeling concepts to address the conceptual modeling of security features...

Neural network technology to support view integration

0
The most difficult and time consuming activity to perform during view integration is to find correspondences between different view...

Database schema transformation and optimization

0
An application structure is best modeled first as a conceptual schema, and then mapped to an internal schema for...

Mapping an extended entity-relationship schema into a schema of complex objects

0
With the advent of object-oriented database systems, there is an urgent need to define a methodology for mapping a...

Binary representation of ternary relationships in ER conceptual modeling

0
Our paper seeks to provide an analysis of ternary relationship logic with an objective of identifying whether they can...

Variable sets and functions framework for conceptual modeling: Integrating ER and OO via sketches...

0
In the paper a graph-based specification language for semantic modeling is proposed. It is as handy as conventional graphical...

Unifying modeling and programming through an active, object-oriented, model-equivalent programming language

0
The intricate and complex structure of existing advanced database applications results in part from poor integration of existing models...
