Authors: Lois Delcambre, Roland H. Kaschek, and Heinrich C. Mayr


Abstract
From 24.04. to 30.04.2008, the Dagstuhl Seminar 08181 ``The Evolution of Conceptual Modeling'' was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

08181 Report – The Evolution of Conceptual Modeling

Authors: Lois Delcambre, Roland H. Kaschek, and Heinrich C. Mayr


Abstract
The seminar took place at Dagstuhl from 27 – 30 April 2008. It was organized by Roland Kaschek, Lois Delcambre and Heinrich C. Mayr. The seminar’s purpose was looking into conceptual modeling from different perspectives, and along different dimensions: we wanted to achieve a better understanding of conceptual modeling issues in various domains of discourse, from a historical perspective and from a view beyond individual (modeling) projects. Consequently we did not focus on a particular application area or development project.

Composing Personalised Services on top of Abstract State Services

Authors: Hui Ma, Klaus-Dieter Schewe, Bernhard Thalheim, and Qing Wang


Abstract
We introduce Abstract State Services (ASSs) as an abstraction of data-intensive services that can be made available for use by other systems, e.g. via the web. An ASS combines a hidden database layer with an operation-equipped view layer, and can be anything from a simple function to a full-fledged Web Information System or a Data Warehouse. We adopt the fundamental approach of Abstract State Machines to model ASSs. Then we show how tailored services can be extracted from available ASSs, integrated with other ASSs and personalised to user preferences.

Modeling a Semantic Overlay across P2P Collaborative Systems

Authors: Valeria De Antonellis


Abstract
Recent distributed systems, in a P2P scenario, are characterized by a set of independent peers that dynamically need to cooperate by sharing data and services. For effective collaboration, under highly dynamic conditions and in absence of a global view of the resources shared across the information systems, semantic modeling tools need be defined. In particular, the emergence of semantics is a key issue to enforce timely discovery and integration of distributed data and services. In the paper we discuss, in particular, the construction of a semantic overlay for service sharing and discovery in service-oriented applications in a P2P scenario. The semantic overlay is built over the P2P network: each peer has ontology-based service descriptions; semantic links between similar service descriptions belonging to different peers are established and maintained according to the network evolution; the result is P2P-integrated knowledge space (here considered for services but extendible to data). The semantic overlay can be seen as a continuously evolving conceptual map across collaborative peers that provide similar services and constitute synergic service centres in a given domain. The semantic links enable effective similarity-based service search and optimization strategies are defined for request propagation over the P2P network. From the conceptual modeling perspective, the semantic overlay can be considered as an evolved conceptual representation where specific modeling requirements due to new technologies, service-oriented technology and P2P technology, are considered.

On the evolution of conceptual modeling

Authors: Roland H. Kaschek


Abstract
Since the 1980s the need increased for overcoming idiosyncrasies of approaches to modeling in the various sub-disciplines of computing. The theoretical model of evolution is used in this paper for analyzing how computing and conceptual modeling have changed. It is concluded that computing has changed into a social phenomenon with a technical core and that therefore relying on (formal) model semantics as the sole tool for the discussion of conceptual modeling is no more adequate. A number of language games of computing is identified and the task set to describe these language games to the extent necessary for deciding whether or not they can serve as the foundation of computing.
