چکیده
Enterprise Modelling has been used successfully for years with different purposes. Nowadays, there are a lot of languages, methodologies and tools related to Enterprise Modelling, even for modelling Virtual Enterprises. However, some of the Enterprise Modelling weaknesses have not been solved yet. One of the most important is the lack of interoperability among enterprises that use different Enterprise Modelling Languages (EML). Such EML are defined in proprietary formats, and they are only implemented by proprietary and expensive tools. So that, this problem is intensified in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), because they have limited resources. In this context, this paper shows my Ph.D. thesis proposal describing the problematic situation which is the origin of this research and the objectives suggested to solve it. The thesis goal is to investigate the possibilities of using UML 2.0 and Profiles mechanism in order to provide a methodological approach for solving interoperability problems to Small and Medium Virtual Enterprises in the context of Enterprise Modelling.
