"This is a compilation of papers presented at the Information System Concepts conference in Marburg, Germany. The special focus is consolidation and harmonisation of the numerous and widely diverging views in the field of information systems. This issue has become a hot topic, as many leading information system researchers and practitioners come to realise the importance of better communication among th ..."
"It is now more than fifty years since the first paper on formal specifications of an information system was published by Young and Kent. Even if the term conceptual model was not used at that time, the basic intention of the abstract specification was to a large extent the same as for developing conceptual models today: to arrive at a precise, abstract, and hardware - dependent model of the informational and time characteristics of a da ..."
"Conceptual modeling has long been recognized as the primary means to enable so- ware development in information systems and data engineering. Nowadays, conc- tual modeling has become fundamental to any domain in which organizations have to cope with complex, real-world systems. Conceptual modeling fosters communi- tion between information systems developers and end-users, and it has become a key mechanism for understanding and represent ..."
"Conceptual modeling has long been recognized as the primary means to enable so- ware development in information systems and data engineering. Conceptual modeling provides languages, methods and tools to understand and represent the application domain; to elicit, conceptualize and formalize system requirements and user needs; to communicate systems designs to all stakeholders; and to formally verify and valida ..."
"The objective of the workshops held in conjunction with ER 2002, the 21st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, was to give participants the opportunitytopresentanddiscussemerginghottopics,thusaddingnewpersp- tives to conceptual modeling. To meet this objective, we selected the following four workshops: – 2nd InternationalWorkshop on Evolution and Changein Data Management (ECDM 2002) – ER/IFIP8. 1 Workshop on Conceptual Model ..."

"En 1992, el Premio UPC de ciencia ficción se hizo internacional. El 35% de las novelas presentadas llegó del extranjero. De entre un conjunto de narraciones de alta calidad e interés, destacó Naves en la noche del norteamericano Jack McDevitt, una maravillosa y poética historia sobre el encuentro de dos seres solitarios, rotundamente distintos pero con la inteligencia y la sensibilidad como rasgos comunes. Una verdadera obra maestra.Mer ..."
