XML is rapidly becoming the standard platform for delivering e-Business information and integrating e-Business systems. XML developers desperately need mature software development processes and tools for developing effective applications. David Carlson fills the gap, showing exactly how to leverage the worldwide UML standard for modeling complex systems in advanced XML development. In Modeling XML Applications with UML, he presents the first comprehensive framework for modeling communications in any B2B software system. Carlson presents in-depth coverage of UML-based analysis, design, and modeling of XML content within e-Business environments. The book includes detailed coverage of using UML to support the creation of new XML-based B2B vocabularies and industry portals that reflect the requirements of several key stakeholder communities, including consumers, business analysts, web application specialists, system integration specialists, and content developers. Carlson presents several B2B use cases, and then decomposes them into scenarios illustrated with class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and activity diagrams showing how XML fits into an overall e-Business solution. Each chapter concludes with "steps for success" that distill UML's general principles into specific recommendations for action.

Conallen introduces architects and designers and client/server systems to issues and techniques of developing software for the Web. He expects readers to be familiar with object-oriented principles and concepts, particularly with UML (unified modeling language), and at least one Web application architecture or environment. The second edition incorporates both technical developments and his experience since 1999. He does not provide a bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of four international workshops held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Conceptual Modelling, ER 2003, held in Chicago, IL, USA in October 2003. The 35 revised full papers presented together with introduction to the four workshops were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. In accordance with the respective workshops, the papers are organized in topical sections on conceptual modelling approaches for e-business, conceptual modelling quality, agent-oriented information systems, XML data and schema.

CD-ROM contains: Java and XML implementations of ideas and models described in the appendix.

This guide for Web developers and database programmers shows how to build robust XML applications backed by SQL databases. After an overview of advantages of XML and SQL, stages of application development are detailed step-by-step, illustrated with examples of when and how each technology is most effective. Coverage includes project definition, data modeling, database schema design, and Java programming with XML and SQL. The book is intended for software developers managing small- to medium-scale projects. Appelquist is a technology consultant in content management and e-business strategy.
