Data modeling in software engineering is
the process of creating a data model for an information system by applying
certain formal techniques. Data modeling is a process used to define and
analyze data requirements needed to support the business processes within the
scope of corresponding information systems in organizations. Therefore, the
process of data modeling involves professional data modelers working closely
with business stakeholders, as well as potential users of the information
system.
In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about Model and Data Engineering published on
international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide
newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Model and Data Engineering. We hope this book
can demonstrate advances in Model
and Data Engineering as well as give references to the researchers, students and other
related people.
