Conceptual independence: A design principle for the construction of adaptive information systems
作者：
Highlights：
• Conceptual dependence is coupling between software and underlying conceptual models.
• Although widespread, it makes information systems inflexible and maintenance costly.
• Adaptive Information Systems (AIS) are designed without conceptual dependence.
• AIS can be used with multiple conceptual models and permit easy schema evolution.
• We present an architecture and data model for AIS, with implementation details.
