This special symposium will be open to all ER'97 registrants. We will
first look back on the history of conceptual modeling form the
perspective of long-term researchers and practitioners in the field.=20
Then we will look forward to the future directions of conceptual
modeling.
The objectives of the symposium are to:
- re-examine the goals of database/information technology wrt
conceptual modeling
- integrate research on aspects of information technology and other
science and technologies
- establish methodologies for system development
- initiate new research directions in conceptual modeling=20
