System engineering often states that respecting diversity during the upstream stages of a system designing is an unavoidable feature of the designing process. In the field of Infor...
Workflow management systems integrate applications and data resources in business processes. Frequently they have to keep local copies of data in the so called workflow repositor...
Abstract. Modern process-aware information systems store detailed information about processes as they are being executed. This kind of information can be used for very different p...
To achieve inter-enterprise software interoperability, the semantics of interchanged information by using electronic business documents, has to be explicitly modeled. A common appr...
The research reported upon in this paper aims at reducing errors in both the requirements engineering and the system specification phase of software development, by means of system...
Integrity checking is aimed at efficiently determining whether the state of the information base is consistent after the application of a set of structural events. One possible way...
We study, in the context of object/relational mapping tools, the problem of describing mappings between inheritance hierarchies and relational schemas. To this end, we introduce a ...
Ontologies are in the heart of the knowledge management process. Different semantic measures have been proposed in the literature to evaluate the strength of the semantic link bet...

The notion of spatio-temporal multi-granularity is fundamental when modeling objects in GIS applications in that it supports the representation of the temporal evolutions of these ...
Abstract. Overlay networks are an important kind of P2P infrastructures. The range of applications and requirements is broad. Consequently, our research objective are overlay netwo...
