Conceptual Modeling for E-Business and the Web: ER 2000 Workshops on Conceptual Modeling Approaches for E-Business and the World Wide Web and ... 1921 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) - Tapa blanda

The objective of the workshops associated with the ER2000 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling was to give participants the opportunity to present and discuss emerging, hot topics, thus adding new perspectives to conceptual modeling. This attracts communities which have begun to or which have already recognized the importance of conceptual modeling for solving their problems. To meet this objective, we selected the following two topics: { Conceptual Modeling Approaches for E-Business (eCOMO2000) aimed at studying the application of conceptual modeling techniques speci cally to e-business. { The World Wide Web and Conceptual Modeling (WCM2000) which analyzes how conceptual modeling can help address the challenges of Web devel- ment, management, and use. eCOMO2000 is the rst international workshop on Conceptual Modeling - proaches for E-Business. It was intended to work out and to discuss the actual state of research on conceptual modeling aspects and methods within the realm of the network economy, which is driven by both traditionally organized ent- prises and dynamic networks. Following the philosophy of the ER workshops, the selection of eCOMO contributions was done very carefully and restrictively (six accepted papers out of thirteen submissions) in order to guarantee an excellent workshop program. We are deeply indebted to the authors and to the members of the program committee, whose work resulted in this outstanding program.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of two workshops held during the 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2000, in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA in October 2000.
The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. The two workshops focused on Conceptual Modeling Approaches for E-Business, eCOMO 2000, and on The World Wide Web and Conceptual Modeling, WCM 2000. The papers are organized in topical sections on modeling approaches, modeling e-business processes and workflow markets, Web application modeling, and managing and querying Web data and metadata.
