Description

This volume is an in-depth analysis of information system concepts, with the aim of improving the conceptual foundation of information systems. Most of the papers treat concepts for modelling and specifying parts of the real world, while a few papers address architectural issues of information systems. Various formalisation and axiomatic approaches are presented, as well as taxonomies and approaches to evaluate and compare systems of concepts.
