Systems and Conceptual Modeling — A Research Agenda

Toward Advanced Visualization Techniques for Conceptual Modeling

Conceptual models and their visualizations play an important role in the in the Information Systems (IS) field. Their track record, however, is mixed. While their benefits are clearly perceived, practitioners also struggle with their use. This paper picks up on a potential factor that limits the effectiveness of conceptual models, namely the poor design rationale behind their visual appearance....

A Research Agenda for Conceptual Schema- Centric Development

Conceptual schema-centric development (CSCD) is a research goal that reformulates the historical aim of automating information systems development. In CSCD, conceptual schemas would be explicit, executable in the production environment and the basis for the system’s evolution. To achieve the CSCD goal, several research problems must be solved. In this paper we identify and comment on sixteen pr...

Conceptual Modeling in Law: An Interdisciplinary Research Agenda

Review of Computers and Design in Context for User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction An International Journal

This is a review of an MIT Press book, Computers and Design in Context, edited by M. Kyng and L. Mathiassen (1997). The contributing authors shape an international research agenda based on conceptual tools forged through more than two decades of workplace computerization. The authors report attempts to extend old models such as end-user computing, end-user tailoring, participatory design, and s...
