Information Systems Reengineering and Integration

Takes a practical approach to re-engineering existing systems and looks at data integration, and focuses on proven methods and tools for: the conversion of hierarchical or network database systems into relational database technology, or from relational to object-oriented and XML databases the integration of database systems.

Taking a practical approach, this revised book describes database conversion techniques, reverse engineering and forward engineering, and re-engineering methodology for information systems, offering a systematic software engineering approach for reusing existing database systems built with "old" technology. Many examples, illustrations and case studies are used, making the methodology easy to follow.
