This paper is a sequel to an evolving research project on a diagrammatic methodology called thinging machine (TM). Initially, it was proposed as a base for conceptual modelling (e.g., conceptual UML) in areas such as requirement…

The increasing importance of such fields as embedded systems, pervasive computing, and hybrid systems control is increasing attention to the time-dependent aspects of system modeling. In this paper, we focus on modeling conceptual time.…

To provide a foundation for conceptual modeling, ontologies have been introduced to specify the entities, the existences of which are acknowledged in the model. Ontologies are essential components as mechanisms to model a portion of reality…

A model is a simplified representation of portion of reality that hides a system s nonessential characteristics. It provides a means for reducing complexity as well as visualization and communication and a basis for building it. Most models…

Models are fundamentally crucial to many scientific fields, including software engineering, systems engineering, enterprise modeling, and business modeling. This paper focuses on diagrammatic conceptual modeling, as opposed to mathematical…

According to many researchers, conceptual model (CM) development is a hard task, and system requirements are difficult to collect, causing many miscommunication problems. CMs require more than modeling ability alone - they first require an…

Software engineers typically interpret the domain description in natural language and translate it into a conceptual model. Three approaches are used in this domain modeling: textual languages, diagrammatic languages, and a mixed based of…

To handle the complexity of our world, the carving metaphor has been used to build a conceptual system of reality. In such an endeavor, we can choose various joints to carve at; that is, we can conceptualize various aspects of reality.…

In this paper, we concentrate on object-related analysis in the field of general ontology of reality as related to software engineering (e.g., UML classes). Such a venture is similar to many studies in which researchers have enhanced…

Use cases as textual visual modeling techniques have become a key construct and the foundation of the most popular de facto standard technique for performing software requirements analysis and specification. This paper describes use cases…

This paper is an exploration of the ontological foundations of conceptual modeling that addresses the concept of events and related notions. Development models that convey how things change over space and time demand continued attention in…

The notion of events has occupied a central role in modeling and has an influence in computer science and philosophy. Recent developments in diagrammatic modeling have made it possible to examine conceptual representation of events. This…

Applying logic in the area of conceptual modeling has been investigated widely, yet there has been limited uptake of logic-based conceptual modeling in industry. According to some researchers, another formalization of such tools as EER or…

In conceptual modeling (CM) as a subdiscipline of software engineering, current proposed ontologies (categorical analysis of entities) are typically established through whole adoption of philosophical theories (e.g. Bunge s). In this paper,…

Modeling in software engineering includes constructing static, dynamic, and behavioral representations. In describing system behavior, actions and states are two of the most commonly used concepts. In this paper, we focus on the notion of…

In this paper, we explore the notion of change in systems and software engineering, emphasizing its philosophical elucidation. Generally, it has been claimed that change is so pervasive in systems that it almost defeats description and…

We present a different approach to developing a concept of time for specifying temporality in the conceptual modeling of software and database systems. In the database field, various proposals and products address temporal data. The…

We are pursuing a modeling methodology that views the world as a realm of things. A thing is defined as something that can be created, processed, released, transferred, and received. Additionally, in this modeling approach, a thing is a…

From a software design perspective, a clear definition of design can enhance project success and development productivity. Even though the focus is on software engineering, in this paper, we view the notion of design from the wider point of…

An important factor in guaranteeing the quality of a system is developing a conceptual model that reflects the knowledge about its domain as well as knowledge about the functions it has to perform. In software engineering, conceptual…
