PIROL is an SEE, designed for object-oriented software development, which itself consequently employs the object-oriented paradigm. PIROL integrates the task of software development with respect to the categories setup by the ECMA reference model. PIROL's architecture covers aspects of CSCW like distribution and notiication. The central concept of PIROL is the idea of diierent views on common i...

An integrated management of business processes demands a strictly process-oriented development of the supporting IT. Process-orientation is especially promoted by Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), where loosely coupled business services are being composed to executable processes. In this paper we present a model-driven methodology for a top-down development of a process-oriented IT support ...

Process modelling initiatives generally develop their process models without much emphasis on data, burying their sequence of operations as a thread within a non-elementary process. More often than not, these buried operations are elementary atomic reusable components. The resulting models are generally not flexible or sufficiently reusable, suffering from update anomalies and redundancies. Add...

An architecture has been designed for the generation of intelligent applications of business, that allows to confront the increasing need on the part of the business users to adapt their processes to the constant change. Up to the moment all the architectures based to a great extent on SOA allow to modify the processes in a short period of time, but we go beyond and give the possibility to the ...

Business process models describe workflows by a set of actions together with their ordering. When implementing business processes within a service-oriented architecture, these actions are mapped to existing IT (web) services, which are then to be executed in the order specified by the business process. However, the execution of a web service can require certain preconditions to be fulfilled. Th...

Current technology adoption research focuses on relationships between attitudes, intentions, behavior, and their various antecedents, but little is known about how these relationships develop and the processes by which adoption actually takes place. Karl Weick’s model of sensemaking in organizations is presented as a basic model for understanding adoption attitudes and behavior from an adopter-...

This article presents a survey of model-driven techniques for data model synthesis. During an extensive research, we identified more than 70 research papers in the field and more than 15 different graphical notations used for the source model representation. We have classified the proposed approaches into four distinct groups: function-oriented, process-oriented, communication-oriented and goal...

in spite of pivotal position of effectiveness construct in organizational theory this concept has been appropriately developed yet and there is less consensus on the criteria for its definition in organization. the varieties of effectivenss models and approaches to its utilization are many. discussion on preferring one model of effectiveness to another is a continuous process. for instance advo...
