Designing and Evolving Business Models with URN
نویسندگان
چکیده
The User Requirements Notation (URN) combines goals and scenarios in order to help capture and reason about user requirements prior to detailed design. In terms of application areas, this emerging standard targets reactive systems in general, with a particular emphasis on telecommunications systems and services. However, URN can also be applied to business process modeling. In this paper, we illustrate how goals can help design suitable business processes expressed as scenarios, and the architectures supporting them. URN models can also help us determine when is the right moment to improve the business model. Through a supply chain management case study, this paper illustrates how architectures can evolve in that context while the scenarios remain untouched.

متن کاملP´olya-Type Urn Models with Multiple Drawings
We investigate the distribution, mean value, variance and some limiting properties of an urn model of white and red balls under random multiple drawing (either with or without replacement) when the number of white and red balls added follows a schedule that depends on the number of white balls chosen in each drawing.
متن کاملSynergy between Activity Theory and goal/scenario modeling for requirements elicitation, analysis, and evolution
Context: It is challenging to develop comprehensive, consistent, analyzable requirements models for evolving requirements. This is particularly critical for certain highly interactive types of socio-technical systems that involve a wide range of stakeholders with disparate backgrounds; system success is often dependent on how well local social constraints are addressed in system design. Objecti...
متن کاملNon-physician Clinicians – A Gain for Physicians’ Working in Sub-Saharan Africa; Comment on “Non-physician Clinicians in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Evolving Role of Physicians”
The changing demands on the health sectors in low- and middle-income countries especially sub-Saharan African countries continue to challenge efforts to address critical shortages of the health workforce. Addressing these challenges have led to the evolution of “non-physician clinicians” (NPCs), that assume some physician roles and thus mitigate the continuing shortage of doctors in these count...
متن کاملBalancing Simplicity and Expressiveness: Designing Domain-Specific Models for the Reinsurance Industry
Swiss Re has established concepts and tools for specifying and evolving (segmentation) models of its business. Based on a ”to be” model, ”as is” models are integrated using integrity constraints between them. All these models are founded upon business terminology. We report on two specific practical problems and our solutions to them, namely avoiding branching in change management (through use ...
