  • PML, an Object Oriented Process Modelling Language
    PML, an Object Oriented Process Modeling Language Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reiner Anderl 1, and Dipl.-Ing. Jochen Raßler 2 1 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reiner Anderl, Germany, [email protected] 2 Dipl.-Ing. Jochen Raßler, Germany, [email protected] Abstract: Processes are very important for the success within many business fields. They define the proper application of methods, technologies, tools and company structures in order to reach business goals. Important processes to be defined are manufacturing processes or product development processes for example to guarantee the company’s success. Over the last decades many process modeling languages have been developed to cover the needs of process modeling. Those modeling languages have several limitations, mainly they are still procedural and didn’t follow the paradigm change to object oriented modeling and thus often lead to process models, which are difficult to maintain. In previous papers we have introduced PML, Process Modeling Language, and shown it’s usage in process modeling. PML is derived from UML and hence fully object oriented and uses modern modeling techniques. It is based on process class diagrams that describe methods and resources for process modeling. In this paper the modeling language is described in more detail and new language elements will be introduced to develop the language to a generic usable process modeling language. Keywords: process modeling language, PML, UML 1. Introduction As the tendency of enterprises to collaborate growths steadily, industry faces new challenges managing business processes, product development processes, manufacturing processes and much more. Furthermore, discipline spanning product development processes are increasing, e.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View Carliss Y. Baldwin* C. Jason Woodard† *corresponding author: Harvard Business School Boston, MA, 02163 [email protected] † Singapore Management University [email protected] Copyright © Carliss Y. Baldwin and C. Jason Woodard, 2008 2 The Architecture of Platforms: A Unified View Carliss Y. Baldwin and C. Jason Woodard Abstract The central role of “platform” products and services in mediating the activities of disaggregated “clusters” or “ecosystems” of firms has been widely recognized. But platforms and the systems in which they are embedded are very diverse. In particular, platforms may exist within firms as product lines, across firms as multi-product systems, and in the form of multi-sided markets. In this paper we argue that there is a fundamental unity in the architecture of platforms. Platform architectures are modularizations of complex systems in which certain components (the platform itself) remain stable, while others (the complements) are encouraged to vary in cross- section or over time. Among the most stable elements in a platform architecture are the modular interfaces that mediate between the platform and its complements. These interfaces are even more stable than the interior core of the platform, thus control over the interfaces amounts to control over the platform and its evolution.

  • Annual Report 2011
    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS: I am pleased to report that KLA-Tencor performed at record levels on several fronts in fi scal year 2011. We achieved company records in our most critical fi nancial metrics, including revenues, net income, earnings per share and profi t margins, and our year-over-year revenue growth signifi cantly exceeded that of our peer group and our industry. At the same time, we generated record free cash fl ow and continued to deliver meaningful returns to our stockholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. This performance was the result of our unwavering focus on develop- ing market-leading technology, addressing our customers’ most critical needs and driving operational effi ciency. Though our industry has seen a recent slowdown in demand, we remain very excited about KLA-Tencor’s prospects for the future. The long-term demand drivers for KLA-Tencor and our industry remain intact, and we are well positioned to grow as demand for semiconductor capital equipment recovers. Our record results in fi scal year 2011 demonstrate that our strategies are working. Looking back over our 35-year history, we have established a pattern of achievement and leadership, which has enabled us to create the strong foundation from which we now look ahead to the future. Our accomplishments during fi scal year 2011 in each of our four strategic objectives (Customer Focus, Growth, Operational Excellence and Talent Development) are highlighted below: CUSTOMER FOCUS: MARKET LEADERSHIP Our customer focus strategic objective is measured in customer satisfaction and market share. We maintained our market leadership positions among our foundry and logic customers in fi scal year 2011 and improved our market position in memory, as evidenced by achieving record new order levels across all our end markets during the year.
