"Antoni Olive's textbook explains in detail the principles of conceptual modeling independently from particular methods and languages and shows how to apply them in real-world projects. He covers all aspects of the engineering process from structural modeling over behavioral modeling to meta-modeling, and completes the presentation with an extensive case study based on the osCommerce system, an online store-management software programm freely available under the GNU General Public License. His presentation is based on well-known industry standard like UML and OCI as a particular conceptual modeling language, yet also delivers the basics of the formal logical Language background." "Written for computer science students in classes on information systems modeling as well as for professionals feeling the need to formalized their experiences or to update their knowledge, Olive delivers here a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the modeling process. His book is complemented by lots of exercise and additional online teaching material."--Jacket
