Presentation

ABSTRACT

Presentation is intended to encompass notations and languages for expressing models. This session will focus on the linguistic and notational choices made in particular approaches. Emphasis will be placed on common ideas. For example, there have been some assertions from proponents of the predicate calculus that it is a notation that is capable of expressing essentially all the interesting and important concepts that are encountered in other notations. Emphasis will also be placed on why the design choices were made, why things are being represented a certain way, and what the effects of those choices were. The purpose of this workshop is to try to bring us all closer together. Trying to bring us to a common terminology is something I don't have much hope for at this point. However, getting us to recognize in other areas problems and solutions we have encountered in our own work is something that I think is very possible, and I think it has happened already to a certain extent. I see that as a goal of this session.
