title = "A Unified Conceptual Model Based on Business Artifacts for Information Systems",
abstract = "Conceptual modeling captures Information Systems requirements and specifications in a graphical representation at a high-level without including low-level implementation details. Entity Relationship Model (ER Model) and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) are two major conceptual models for modeling respectively data and process aspects of an Information System. On the other hand, Conceptual Artifact Model (CAM) is an alternative conceptual model for modeling both data and process aspects in a single model based on the notion of Artifacts. In this article, we formalize the CAM and define algorithms for generating both Database and Workflow specifications from this model. These specifications are then used to create the Relational Database and execute the Workflow of the Information System. Benefits of such alternative modeling approach are not limited to reducing the time and effort of designing Information Systems but also of implementing them.",
