Model-Based Engineering for Database System Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Conceptual Modeling Perspectives

Abstract

A model functions in a utilisation scenario as an instrument. It is wellformed, adequate and dependable. It represents or deputes origins. This conception of the the model is a very general one. Computer engineering uses models for description of development intentions and for prescription of the system to be build. It typically uses a number of models depending on the layer of abstraction, the scope, the context, the community of practice, and the artefacts to be represented. Modelbased development is one of key success factors for development of database systems. This paper thus develops foundations for model-based engineering. Database system development is used as the illustration example for this investigation.
