- The stages of model transformation.
- The rules for moving from a semantic (conceptual) model to a logical model.
- The passage from a logical model to the physical model, the optimization work.
- Project manager’s participation in the optimization work.
Hands-on work
Turning a model into a logic model.
5 Modeling tools
- Presentation of a UML tool (StarUML and/or PowerAMC).
- Presentation of an entity-relationship tool (PowerDesigner "MCD version").
