Improved support for engineering using information technology involves the integraticln of existing, evolving and future product data, and software...
The Composite Data Model: A Unified Approach for Combining and Querying Multiple Data Models
In this paper, we combine the characteristics of three fundamental data models in order to represent their semantics in...
SEAM: A state-entity-activity-model for a well-defined workflow development methodology
Current conceptual workflow models use either informally defined conceptual models or several formally defined conceptual models that capture different...
A methodology for learning across application domains for database design systems
Although database design tools have been developed that attempt to automate (or semiautomate) the design process, these tools do...
Evaluating the Generation of Domain Ontologies in the Knowledge Puzzle Project
One of the goals of the Knowledge Puzzle Project is to automatically generate a domain ontology from plain text...

Rewriting Rules to Permeate Complex Similarity and Fuzzy Queries within a Relational Database System
In recent years, the availability of complex data repositories (e.g., multimedia, genomic, semistructured databases) has paved the way to...
A General Theory for Evolving Application Models
In this article we provide a general theory for evolving information systems. This theory makes a distinction between the...
