An umbrella organi- zation for societies working in information processing, IFIP’s aim is two-fold: to support information processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations. As its mission statement clearly states, IFIP’s mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which encourages and assists in the development, ex- ploitation and application of information technology for the benefit of all people. IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications. -

Towards a Workflow-Based Integration Architecture for Business Networking
Preprint version of an article published as: Business Process Management Journal, Year: 2005, Volume: 11, Issue: 5, Page: 517-531, ISSN: 1463-7154, DOI: 10.1108/14637150510619867 © Emerald Group Publishing Limited http://www.emeraldinsight.com/bpmj.htm Towards a workflow-based integration architecture for business networking Diogo M. R. Ferreira INESC Porto, Portugal J. J. Pinto Ferreira Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal Keywords BPM, enterprise integration architectures, workflow technology, e-business Abstract The Internet is the underlying network infrastructure that will allow enterprises to create new business structures and to reconfigure existing ones. This trend, which is known as business networking, requires enterprises to be able to integrate and coordinate business processes that extend across autonomous business partners. Traditionally, the problem of integration has been addressed by the field of Enterprise Integration, which underlines the importance of Workflow Management as a tool for business process integration. In the context of business networking, most of the principles of Enterprise Integration and Workflow Management are still useful but, definitely, a new kind of architecture is required. This paper proposes a decentralized inter-enterprise workflow solution, paving the way towards an integration architecture that will allow enterprises to automate their business relationships and to develop arbitrary business networks. 1. Introduction The Internet fosters new business possibilities that will make enterprises reengineer their systems and reorganize themselves. As a globally connected and widely accessible network infrastructure, the Internet provides unprecedented access to potential business partners. In an increasingly connected world, it becomes easier to find business partners that can perform some of the work better, faster and cheaper. -

A Modelling Language for User Oriented Enterprise Modelling
3e Conférence Francophone de Modélisation et SIMulation "Conception, Analyse et Gestion des Systèmes Industriels" MOSIM'01 - du 25 au 27 avril 2001 - Troyes(France) A MODELLING LANGUAGE FOR USER ORIENTED ENTERPRISE MODELLING Martin ZELM Kurt KOSANKE CIMOSA Association e.V. CIMOSA Association e.V. Gehenbühlstr. 18 A, D-70499 Stuttgart Stockholmer Str. 7, D-71034 Böblingen Mél . [email protected] Mél . [email protected] Abstract: Enterprise modelling provides the means to structure and decompose the enterprise system into less complex parts and to describe functionality and behaviour of the operation or any part thereof. The relevant enterprise knowl- edge can be captured, shared and managed through process models. Process models describe both the functionality and the flow of control in the enterprise and identify all the needed and produced information. However, the user should employ a modelling language consisting of modelling constructs relevant for the representa- tion of his business. Constructs, which provide means for easy information capturing and are represented by easy to understand graphical symbols or icons. Both, common modelling construct types and their representation by icons will make the modelling process more effective and efficient and also improve the human understanding of enterprise mod- els. The latter is especially important for the upcoming e-business to business and virtual enterprise type operations. Only with increased efforts in harmonisation and standardisation, will the envisaged improvements be realised. Starting from the CIMOSA reference architecture the paper proposes structuring of user oriented modelling construct types and type hierarchies and presents an overview of construct icon types for graphical representation used in differ- ent modelling tools. -

ENTERPRISE MODELLING: FROM EARLY LANGUAGES TO MODELS TRANSFORMATION Bruno Vallespir, Yves Ducq Univ. Bordeaux, CNRS, IMS, UMR 5218, 33405 Talence, France [email protected], [email protected] Abstract During the last thirty years, enterprise modelling has been recognised as an efficient tool to externalise the knowledge of companies in order to understand their operations, to analyse their running and to design new systems from several points of view: functions, processes, decisions, resources, information technology. This paper aims at describing the long evolution of enterprise modelling techniques as well as one of the future challenges of these techniques: the transformation of enterprise models. So, in a first part, the paper describes the evolution of enterprise modelling techniques from the divergence era to the convergence period. -
A Metamodel for Enterprise Architecture
A Metamodel for Enterprise Architecture Peter Bernus and Ovidiu Noran Griffith University, Nathan (Brisbane) Queensland 4111, Australia [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The paper presents an evolved metamodel that has its origins in GERAM 1.6.3 but takes into considerations the needs of evolution of EA standards, including ISO 15704:2000 and ISO 42010:2000 – both currently under review. Keywords: Enterprise Architecture Framework, metamodelling, GERAM 1 Introduction This paper aims to present an evolved metamodel of GERAM. The original GERAM document that formed the basis of ISO 15704:2000 had an informally expressed metamodel (IFIP-IFAC, 1999; Fig 1) but recent trends in standards development require that the metamodel be expressed in a formal way. Such formalisation, as can be expected, brings out previously unclarified details, including the details of the difference between life cycle phases and life history stages, milestones etc. Also a more formal definition of modelling frameworks is given. In addition, the attempt to harmonise with ISO 42010:2000 brings a new insight into the relationship between enterprise models and stakeholders who are users of these models. As a side-effect of this clarified terminology, the paper also presents a new understanding of EA frameworks that are based on the life cycles of enterprise entities and the Zachman framework. 2 History Real-world enterprises are inherently complex systems. To tackle this complexity a variety of proposals were developed in the 1980s and 1990s, and these proposals fell into two categories: (a) proposals that created generally applicable ‘blueprints’ (later to be called reference models, partial models, or ‘architectures of type 1’) so that the activities involved in the creation (or the change) of the enterprise could refer to such a common model (or set of models); (b) proposals which claimed that to be able to organise the creation, and later the change, of enterprises one needs to understand the life cycle of the enterprise and of its parts. -

However, the methodologies and tools have limited suc- cess and applications are mostly confined to the management of ICT. This conference investigates what new Methods and Tools are necessary and how future EA/EI will play a key role in the development of enterprises and supporting ICT. These methods and tools will support busines decision making and provide technologies that help create and sustain new types of businesses. The solutions in the domain of EA/EI will allow enterpris- es to implement sustainable applications and to decrease the cost of the development and the implementation of their solutions. Topics include but are not limited to: • Enterprise Integration / Interoperability Modelling • Enterprise Interoperability and MDI (Model & Methodologies Driven Interoperability) • Model-Based Systems Engineering • EA/EI and Business ICT alignment • Interoperability Design Principles • Enterprise Interoperability as a Science • Ontology -
Enterprise Modeling and Its Applications in Company Management Systems
Enterprise Modeling and its Applications in Company Management Systems Ladaislav Madarász1, Maroš Timko2, Michal Raček3 1 Department of Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence, FEI TU Košice, Letná 9/B, email:[email protected] 2 Siemens PSE, s.r.o., Bratislava, Lomená 1, Košice, email:[email protected] 3 Department of Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence, FEI TU Košice, Letná 9/B, email:[email protected] Abstract: From the experience of last years it seems that enterprise modeling is a necessary step to perform successful changes of the enterprise business operations from a functional to a process-oriented approach. The recency and accuracy of the model is essential in the meaning of usability of the enterprise model. A term “living” or “dynamic” enterprise model was introduced in recent time to address these requirements of the model. Keywords: enterprise engineering, enterprise modeling, reference architecture, modeling concepts ARIS and CIMOSA) 1 Introduction Modern modeling technologies are able to utilize enterprise models in more general ways than to use them as descriptive models only. Such a models can form very important part in the process of definition and controlling of the enterprise processes. Enterprise models can be utilized in a lot of manners but at least they serves as a common repository of enterprise knowledge, which is semantically organized internally. This knowledge can then be used to reach the certain goal with the help of suitable tools. Models describe processes and their interactions within the organization as well as the interactions with information system and are able to provide qualitative and quantitative results of the overall lifecycle process.
