Abstract: Work systems are complex artifacts that address the concerns of a large and diverse group of stakeholders. These concerns must be reflected in the models which are created as used in the development process. Current work systems engineering methods assume that concerns are more or less mutually independent and can be addressed sequentially. We argue- in analogy to other engineering disciplines- that this assumption is too restrictive. To facilitate the creation of models that simultaneously express multiple stakeholder concerns, we propose an approach which systematically elicits the stakeholder concerns, and derive a customized meta model from these concerns. We also show how this approach has been applied in an industrial case study, and propose a set of extensions to the method engineering meta model that allow method engineers to include stakeholder concerns in work system design methods. 1

Abstract: This paper introduces a new viewpoint in knowledge management by introducing KM-Services as a basic concept for Knowledge Management. This text discusses the vision of service oriented knowledge management (KM) as a realisation approach of process oriented knowledge management. In the following process oriented knowledge management as it was defined in the EU-project PROMOTE (IST-1999-11658) is presented and the KM-Service approach to realise process oriented knowledge management is explained. The last part is concerned with an implementation scenario that uses Web-technology to realise a service framework for a KM-system.

Abstract: Since the beginning 1990s various concepts of intellectual capital reports have been elaborated and their descriptions can be found in both scientific and management literature. Their major task is the attempt to cover intangible assets within an organisation or firm and to illustrate the immense resources, which may be used to attain competitive advantages. A major drawback of all presented intellectual capital reports is their non-comparability due to the diversity of conceptions. Thus, it is not possible to compare and evaluate the results of different firms within an industry using diverse concepts of intellectual capital reports. This paper presents an approach, which allows the creation of comparable intellectual capital reports based on so called meta-indicators (or benchmarks). By using the meta-modelling approach the intellectual capital reporting (ICR) benchmark framework and a top-down procedure model (the intellectual capital reporting (ICR) step model) are outlined and discussed in detail.

The adoption of advanced integration technologies that enable private and public organizations to seamlessly execute their business transactions electronically is still relatively low, especially among governmental bodies and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Current solutions often lack a common understanding of the underlying business document semantics and most existing approaches are not able to cope with the huge variety of business document formats, stemming from highly diverse requirements of the different stakeholders. Developed and applied in the course of the EU-funded research project GENESIS, this paper presents a comprehensive core component-based business document modelling approach that builds upon existing standards such as the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) and the UN/CEFACT Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS). These standards are extended by introducing the concept of generic business document templates out of which specific documents can be derived according to the actual user’s needs. Key principle to achieve this flexibility is the integration of business context information that allows for modelling standard-based but at the same time customized business documents. The resulting modelling framework ranges from (tool-supported) graphical data models to the technical representation of the business documents

Abstract. Not least due to the widespread use of meta modelling concepts, model transformation techniques have reached a certain level of maturity [5]. Nevertheless, there is a lack of common community knowledge concerning different transformation approaches fitting different requirements and application areas. The aim of this paper is to present the BOC model transformer, an industry-proven transformation tool. It has been designed for transforming business models in the first place, but scales up nicely for other domains alike. 1

Abstract: Akogrimo is an FP6 EC-Project that implements a mobile Grid middleware. Beside the grid and mobile related challenges there are also interesting knowledge management questions to be addressed. The first knowledge management challenge is to coordinate the distributed software development of 13 partner organisations in Europe in a highly sophisticated domain. The second challenge is to support developers that want to use the open source Akogrimo middleware to build their own services on top. Both challenges are approached applying Process-Oriented Knowledge Management with PROMOTE ® requiring an integration with the so-called “Roadmap to Akogrimo Convergence”. This roadmap has to guide developers in moving from traditional development infrastructures to the innovative Akogrimo platform. A modelling framework supports the developers in using, adapting of integrating the Akogrimo middleware and links the above knowledge management approach. The following article introduces the modelling framework and focuses on the knowledge modelling approach. Sample models making the expert knowledge explicit are discussed and the procedure of knowledge acquisition is introduced. In this scenario PROMOTE ® is used as an index to navigate within the Akogrimo knowledge.
Combining Models with Code: a Tale of Two Languages

Abstract—In the pure model-driven view of software engineer-ing, models are the sole artifacts to be created and maintained and executable source code is entirely generated from the models. However, due to the variety of modern platforms and the complexity of capturing them correctly in models, this vision has not yet been fully realized. In this paper, we propose an approach that allows combining high-level models with low-level code into an executable system. The approach is based on two modeling languages, one presenting a common abstraction of modeling and programming languages, and the other allowing to express the bridge between the model and code. We illustrate our approach using a running example of an invoicing system for which the business logic requirements are captured by an executable model and the requirements on the graphical user interface are directly mocked up using a GUI designer tool that generates Java code.

Abstract: Enterprise Architecture (EA) modeling languages are increasingly used for various enterprise wide analyses. In most cases one needs to adapt EA languages to an appropriate level of detail. However such an adaptation is not straightforward. Language engineers currently deal with analysis driven language adaptation in an ad-hoc manner, adapting languages from scratch. This introduces various problems, such as a tendency to add uninteresting and/or unnecessary details to languages, while important enterprise details are not documented. Moreover, adding detail increases the complexity of languages, which in turn inhibits a language's communication capabilities. Yet experience from practice shows that architects often are communicators, next to analysts. As a result, one needs to find a balance between a model's communication and analysis capabilities. In this position paper we argue for an approach for assisting language engineers in adapting, in a controlled manner, EA languages for model-driven enterprise analyses. Furthermore, we present the key ingredients of such an approach, and use these as a starting point for a research outlook.

Conceptual modelling is one of the core disciplines within business informatics. Often, different metamodels have to be integrated to provide project specific or domain specific modelling solutions. This is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity of the modelling languages being assembled. This paper presents an approach for integrating heterogeneous modelling languages in the domain of enterprise modelling. It extends the Enterprise Model Integration approach (EMI) by introducing two key concepts: mappings and rules for metamodel integration. For both mappings and integration rules language definitions are provided. Furthermore, a catalogue of generic integration rules is introduced to provide a set of solutions for recurring metamodel integration problems. The applicability of the presented approach is shown using the case of integrating the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) metamodel with the metamodel for organizational modelling of the ADONIS BPMS method.

Abstract \ In practice more and more concepts are used for IT service management. Standards like the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) ensure that IT services are delivered to meet all requirements of the business processes. They permit the effective and efficient design, operation and maintenance of IT services and the underlying service components in the short run. However, cost savings through the planning and controlling of the IT architecture remain unattended. This shortcoming can be eliminated with the integration of IT architecture management and IT service management frameworks into a superior IT governance framework. Since ITIL is one of the most established standards for IT service management it is used as the starting point to align IT service and architecture management. 1
