. Temporal logic[1],[2] defines a basic set of primitiverelationships that can exist between intervals in time. These same primitive relationshipscan be used to express temporal relationships between business objects. The EnhancedEntity Relationship (EER) notation allows business rules to be shown in a graphic formusing action assertions which keep the business rule at a conceptual level withoutspecifying how the rule will be implemented. In this paper we will show how the EERnotation can be augmented to allow a software engineer to specify temporal-basedbusiness relationships in a relational data model.IntroductionThere are three common types of business rules[6]: structural assertions, action assertionsand derivations.

To stretch the students’ collaborative skills and enhance their experience with more fluidteam configurations, we experimented with creating teams across two related senior-level classeswithin Computer Science, but with different perspectives and approaches. For one particularproject, shark spotting in drone video footage, the teams also collaborated with a group ofMarine Biologists from the Shark Lab at CSU Long Beach, who provided the video material andacted as a customer for three teams across the two classes

Several educatorshave reported results integrating MATLAB Robotics Toolkit with ROS middleware for mobilerobotics [8], [9]. to improve student accessibility.
