Conceptual modeling is a critical activity for developing successful business information systems. The objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of applying the constant comparison method from the grounded theory to conceptual modeling. To achieve the objective, we trained novice modelers and split them into two groups for evaluation. The experimental results show that applying the constant comparison method could increase acceptability from more experienced conceptual modelers. Moreover, while the control group was experienced difficulties when domain knowledge is unfamiliar, the experimental group could handle difficulties more effectively. In addition, applying the constant comparison method also decreased the time to complete analysis for conceptual modeling.

The effects of information technology on people and society, while being profusely laid out in academic and popular literature, are largely anecdotal, fragmented, and speculative, not adding up to a consistent theory of IT impact. This is attributed to a lack of a proper research model that guides and integrates the research. This paper examines several dimensions of the IT impact research that characterize and distinguish the research and develops a conceptual model of the IT impact research. Three dimensions are examined - the search domain, the concept of organization, and the level of analysis. The dimensions are combined to produce several conceptual domains, each with differing issues and characteristics for research, that constitute the IT impact research. A model of the IT impact research is developed which proposes a series of transition among the search domains. At the end, the implications of the research model are discussed.

Conceptual database design is an important activity because the performance of a DBMS heavily depends on the proper design of the database, and view integration is one of the most important phases of conceptual database design. During this phase, the individual views designed by separate user groups are integrated into a global view for the entire system. After the view integration, a database schema must be validated before it becomes a stable product of the design. In this paper, a methodology for view integration an validation is suggested. The individual views are modeled by entity-relationship model. The entities are integrated according to their name and domain information. After that, the relationships are merged by their constraints. We also present a methodology for checking redundant relationships which has an algorithmic description.

Business Rules are formal statements about the data and processes of an enterprise. They present projections of the organization's constraints and ways of working on their supporting information systems. Therefore, their collection, structuring and organization should be central activities within information systems. In an enterprise, business rules are used to represent certain aspects of a business domain (static rules) or business policy (dynamic rules). Hence, regarding problem domains in the organization, business rules are classified into two groups: static and dynamic business rules. The paper introduces a new concept of business rules, Extended Dynamic Business Rule (EDBR) which contains the results of the occurrence of business rule's action. The focus of this paper is in the organizing, defining and modeling of such business rules using Mineau's approach. Mineau's approach is an extension of Sowa's Conceptual Graph theory.

In order to extract some important information of a person from text, an extracting model was proposed. The person's name is recognized based on the maximal entropy statistic model and the training corpus. The sentences surrounding the person's name are analyzed according to the conceptual knowledge base. The three main elements of events, domain, situation and background, are also extracted from the sentences to construct the structure of events about the person.

The purpose of the study is to find out students' misconceptions and the stability of misconceptions in the domain of mechanics. According to the incorrect choices by grades, three different kinds of conceptual change were identified ; (1) easily overcome misconceptions, (2) stable misconceptions, and (3) reinforced misconceptions. The analyses of the results showed that easily overcome misconceptions occurred in simple or visual concepts, stable misconceptions occurred in the concepts involving EGC(experiential gestalt of causation) or in the concepts overgeneralized in school teaming, and finally, reinforced misconceptions as grade level increases occurred in the concepts EGC with scientific logical procedures. The results on the type of conceptual changes may provide significant cognitive theoretic evidences on the sources of misconceptions.

Several novel concepts and tools have revolutionized our understanding of the Internet topology. Most of the existing efforts attempt to develop accurate analytical models. In this paper, our goal is to develop an effective conceptual model: A model that can be easily drawn by hand, while at the same time, it captures significant macroscopic properties. We build the foundation for our model with two thrusts: a) We identify new topological properties and b) we provide metrics to quantify the topological importance of a node. We propose the jellyfish as a model for the inter-domain Internet topology. We show that our model captures and represents the most significant topological properties. Furthermore, we observe that the jellyfish has lasting value: It describes the topology for more than six years.

Cloud is emerging as a key factor in digital transformation. In particular, the industry is paying attention to cloud as a key factor in economic revitalization after COVID-19. In this economic environment, cloud companies can survive only through continuous innovation. In this study, we propose the innovation types of cloud companies using the meta model, which is a high-level conceptual model that generalizes various corporate activities. The proposed cloud company innovation type applies a conceptual model divided into two axes such as the corporate value chain and the business management layer. The contribution of this study is to provide a basis for research in a new academic field called corporate innovation in the cloud domain, and to provide decision-making tools for diagnosing innovation levels or exploring innovation directions for cloud companies.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to design and evaluate a scale for measuring reliability and validity in the field of oriental nursing education. Method: A questionnaire was administered to 495 university nursing students using a convenience sampling method. The period of time for collecting data was from September 2003 to January 2004. Result: The derived outcome tool consisted of 6 factors and 22 inquires on the basis of a conceptual frame of three domains (knowledge, attitude, and skill), As a result of the item analysis, 22 items were selected and the internal consistency alpha coefficient was .767. The value of Cronbach' Alpha of knowledge(factor 1) was .885, attitude(factor2)was .756, and skill (factor 3) was .610. The three factors accounted for $65.110\%$ of the variance in the total scale. Addressing the explanatory variance of each domain Cognitive domain was $22.477\%$, affective domain was $20.543\%$, and psychomotor domain was $17.090\%$. Conclusion: Further studies need to be done to verify educational evaluation and apply our outcomes to oriental nursing education.

This study proposed a method to redesign the search system by extracting the class, property, and code values of value domain from the key elements of the MDR system that conforms to the ISO/IEC 11179 standard. To implement this, an operating system conforming to the standard is required. Therefore, this study targeted the MDR system of the Korea Information and Communication Technology Association. As a result, it was confirmed that the redesigned MDR system can easily search and utilize specific metadata without understanding the conceptual domain, metadata element concept, metadata element, and value domain proposed in the standard.
