    rite tures or Enter rise • Peter Bernus Laszlo Nemes and Theodore J. Williams ~ t: IFAC t> It') lLiJ CHAPMAN & HALL 0 ~a1, Architectures for Enterprise Integ ration Pe t er Bern u s, Laszlo Nemes and Theodore J. Will iams The 1990s have seen many large-scale efforts to transform companies into more agile and efficient global enterprises. An important lesson from the efforts in computer-integrated manufacturing and other businesses has been that enterprises-like any other system - need to be properly designed and that methods to do this should become widely available and publicised. Architectures for Enterprise Integration describes the latest methods to guide enterprises and consultants, managers and technical personnel through a complete life-cycle of enterprise development. This book is based on the findings of the IFIP/IFAC Task Force and presents a state-of-the-art review of enterprise architecture, including: • analysis and comparison of the three major architectural frameworks and methodologies; • identification of the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology to enable users to select the approach which best suits their needs; • a road map for the development of more complete methodologies by using existing ones. This book is essential reading for all practising engineers and researchers in manufacturing and engineering management and will be of special interest to those involved in CIM and enterprise modelling and integration. p . Peter Bemus is the vice-chair of the IFIP/IFAC Task Force for Architectures for Enterprise Integration, and is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing and Information Technology at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.

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.

  • 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

  • IWEI 2015 Cfp V18.0
    Call for Papers 6th International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI 2015) “From Enterprise Interoperability Modelling & Analysis to Enterprise Interoperability Engineering” http://iwei2015.mines-ales.fr/ May 13th - 15th 2015, Nîmes, France Organised by IFIP Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability in cooperation with INTEROP-VLab SCOPE Enterprise interoperability is now considered as a key factor for successful collaborations. It affects the behavior of the company at different levels, ranging from decision-making to operation via information management. Moreover, it comes from different areas such as organizational and technical, human, social or economic. Enterprise interoperability is therefore identified as a critical need - that has to be considered all along the collaboration life cycle - for companies wishing to improve their ability to work together efficiently and in a profitable manner while remaining flexible, responsive and progressing step by step. To address this need one should know how to handle and represent it, how to specify, check, implement and evaluate solutions from various origins and aims (technical, processes, rules…), and how to improve it during collaboration. The IFIP International Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI) is part of a series of conferences, which are organized by the IFIP TC5 Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability. The IWEI series of conferences aim at identifying and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. Since 2007, five IWEI conferences have been held in Munich (Germany, 2007), Valencia (Spain, 2009), Stockholm (Sweden, 2011), Harbin (China, 2012) and Enschede (The Nederlands, 2013). IWEI 2015 is the 6 th IWEI conference, this time organized in Nîmes, France.

  • KNOWLEDGE SHARING in the INTEGRATED ENTERPRISE IFIP - the International Federation for Information Processing
    KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN THE INTEGRATED ENTERPRISE IFIP - The International Federation for Information Processing IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organization 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, exploitation 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. IFIP's events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are: • The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year; • Open conferences; • Working conferences. The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the rejection rate is high. As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed. The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working group and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an atmosphere conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and papers are subjected to extensive group discussion. Publications arising from IFIP events vary.
