Abstract

Conceptual model is the first abstraction of the real system and plays a role of bridge between domain expert and developer. This paper discusses the research on conceptual model. It begins with an introduction to conceptual model, and addresses the definitions of conceptual model and some conceptual modeling methods, and then discusses the conceptual model validation techniques and the applications. Finally some conclusions are concluded.
