Description
The Entity-Relationship Approach is the basis for many database design and system development methodologies. The sixth international conference was organized to bring together researchers and practitioners to share new developments and discuss issues related to the use of the ER approach. Three major themes are addressed in this book: - database development and management - application systems - management of organizational information resources. Abstracts from the keynote addresses, tutorials, vendor presentations and panel sessions are included, along with 25 complete papers. Both theory and practice are addressed.
