Next Generation Modelling Enterprises: From Foundations to Application
The presentation will introduce the vision of Next Generation Enterprise Modelling, based on metamodelling foundations and principles, as well as on emerging paradigms such as Linked Enterprise Data. The foundations, as well as the building blocks and the value of modelling methods, will be discussed both in a general case and in the concrete, scenario-oriented application case given by the ComVantage FP7 research project (http://comvantage.eu). Technological, conceptual and formal foundations will be established as enablers for Next Generation Enterprise Modelling. As enterprise modelling originally envisioned, a hybridization of modelling approaches is needed in order to cover the multiple facets of a business view, its context and resource requirements (including IT support requirements). The concept of “modelling method” establishes key building blocks to enable the required hybrid modelling and to increase the value of models beyond the functions traditionally employed within the paradigm of model-driven software engineering. Outcomes of the ComVantage reject project will serve as an application case. The project investigates new possibilities for enterprise collaboration, raised by mobile technology and the Linked Data paradigm, hence it provides relevant enterprise scenarios. To fulfil such scenarios, a modelling method was introduced, that enables a holistic approach to modelling business processes within their business context and execution environment. A modelling prototype implementation was developed within the framework of OMILab (http://www.omilab.org/web/comvantage/home). Exemplary situations will be described in order to highlight and reflect on specific design decisions
