Produktbeschreibung

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2004, held in Shanghai, China, in November 2004.

The 57 revised full papers presented togehter with three invited contributions and 8 demonstration and poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 295 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on conceptual modeling, datawarehouses, schema integration, data classification and mining, web-based information systems, query processing, web services, schema evolution, conceptual modeling applications, UML, XML modeling, and industrial presentations.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome you to the proccedings of the 23rd International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2004). This conference provided an international forum for technical discussion on conceptual modeling of information systems among researchers, developers and users. This was the third time that this conference was held in Asia; the ?rst time was in Singapore in 1998 and the second time was in Yokohama, Japan in 2001. China is the third largest nation with the largest population in the world. Shanghai, the largest city in China and a great metropolis, famous in Asia and throughout the world, is therefore a most appropriate location to host this conference. This volume contains papers selected for presentation and includes the two keynote talks by Prof. Hector Garcia-Molina and Prof. Gerhard Weikum, and an invited talk by Dr. Xiao Ji. This volume also contains industrial papers and demo/poster papers. An additional volume contains papers from 6 workshops. The conference also featured three tutorials: (1) Web Change Management andDelta Mining: Opportunities andSolutions,by SanjayMadria,(2)A Survey of Data Quality Issues in Cooperative Information Systems, by Carlo Batini, and (3) Visual SQL An ER-Based Introduction to Database Programming,by Bernhard Thalheim.
