From enterprise modelling to enterprise visual scenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends the definition and role of Enterprise Modelling (EM), and describes recent research results that have lead to the definition of the next generation of what the authors call Visual Enterprise Scenes (EVS). The focus is on the transition from EM to EVS and what the implications will be for industry, developers of solutions, system providers, future users and user communities, and the information society at large. To explain the need and the way to transition from EM to EVS the authors pose these four questions: 1. Which enterprise knowledge must be externalized and why – what properties are gained? 2. How to represent enterprise knowledge – what types and kinds of views must be supported? 3. How to support and integrate the many enterprise architectures – what is the glue? 4. Who owns the knowledge and should therefore do the modelling – who learns from modelling? Answers are given with reference to the prevailing EM definition and reported state-of-the-art. Enhancements to state-of-the-art are discussed and proposed, as is a new EM definition. The paper concludes with directions for future development of visual EM languages and Enterprise Visual Scenes.

In this paper we analyse the conceptualisation of modelling methods. Thereby we understand, how the components of a specific implementation platform support the design of modelling methods. For this purpose we use the ADOxx meta modelling platform and investigate, how four selected functionalities of enterprise information systems for supporting user interaction, process-based optimisation, int...

Visual business process modelling can fulfil an important role to enable high-level specification of system interactions, improve system integration and support performance analysis. Existing modelling approaches typically use a workflow based method. Cobweb and labyrinth problems appear quickly when this type of notation is used to model a complex enterprise system with users having to deal wi...

This paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from Grey theory (was proposed by J. Deng). This numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. Beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...
متن کاملFrom Visual Language to Ontology Representation: Using OWL for Transitivity Analysis in 4EM
Usually, enterprise models consider different aspects and include different abstraction levels of enterprises. The application of ontologies as conceptual bases that can clarify relations within and between these abstraction levels is believed to be helpful. This paper investigates the use of ontologies for formalizing enterprise modelling languages and enriching their semantics. The aim is to ...
