Abstract
This paper is devoted to the dynamic aspect of the IFO2 conceptual model, an extension of the semantic IFO model defined by S. Abiteboul and R. Hull. It focuses on a specification language used to express particularly precise condition on event triggering. The original aspects of IFO2 are a “whole-event” approach, the use of constructors to express combinations of events and the modularity of specifications in order to optimize the designer's work. Furthermore, it offers an overall vision of the represented behaviour.
