Playing ArchiMate Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns the application of a gaming approach to the validation of ArchiMate models, with the aim of enhancing validation, by nonarchitects, beyond mere reading of the model. The game offers a guided process for systematic exploration of ArchiMate models, and for systematically raising questions about them. The development process and the design principles behind the game are discussed, as well as the information transformation involved in creating a model-specific game from an ArchiMate model. The game has been evaluated through application in a small real life case. We discuss the influence of our approach to model understanding by the players, and the conceptual merits and flaws of the game.

متن کاملTransforming Transaction Models into ArchiMate
ArchiMate, a language for modelling an organisation from a holistic perspective, lacks guidelines and techniques for exploring each of its perspectives in depth. To address this issue, we propose to use the DEMO modelling technique and toolset as a front-end for ArchiMate. In particular, DEMO adds to ArchiMate a conceptual clarity, as well as tools and techniques for modelling business processe...
متن کاملArchiMate and DEMO - Mates to Date?
ArchiMate is an approach to modeling the architecture of enterprises. In the corresponding architecture framework, three enterprise layers are distinguished: business, application and technology. Although ArchiMate is broadly applied in practice, its semantics appears to be undefined. DEMO is a methodology for enterprise engineering that is facing a rapidly growing acceptance. It is firmly root...
متن کاملLinking BPMN, ArchiMate, and BWW: Perfect Match for Complete and Lawful Business Process Models?
Enterprise architecture (EA) models are helpful for describing elements that are necessary for modelling business processes at different architectural layers of the enterprise. Business process models are used to describe detailed enterprise processes in order to analyse and improve them. Business process logic provided in the business layer of EA is very abstract comparing with business proces...
متن کاملInvestigating the mapping of an Enterprise Description Language into UML 2.0
Business architects and process engineers, when modelling their organisation or parts of it, prefer not to use the Unified Modelling Language (UML) as they find UML too technical for their taste. Instead they use their own modelling languages, which are more intuitive for formulating business-oriented models. As these techniques are often less formalized or widely used, tool support is usually ...
