Object-oriented modeling is concerned with capturing common properties of objects. The dominant thinking in this realm is to classify objects that share certain properties into what is called a class, which in turn enables us to instantiate additional obje ...
Models are used in software engineering, enterprise architecture, requirements engineering, etc. In this context, models can give support in creating a shared understanding of what exists in an enterprise. For this purpose we suggest to use a cartography t ...
The aim of this paper is to propose a muscle control method for a humanoid musculoskeletal arm that mimics human muscle coordination from an engineering viewpoint. As muscle control is posed as a redundancy problem, the resulting muscle force corresponds t ...

In the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium, the Work Package Heating and Current Drive (WPHCD) is undertaking the development and design of the DEMO Heating and Current Drive (HCD) system, supported by the Work Package Plant Level Systems Engineering, D ...
Business and innovation ecosystems involve complex interdependencies among various actors. The concept of ecosystem is useful for analyzing strategies in which competitors are also considered as complementary partners. To make this explicit, we use SEAM – ...
We explore invariants as a linking mechanism between the business and technical service perspectives: From the business perspec- tive, invariants can be used to model (business) requirements of an en- terprise; from the technical perspective, invariants ex ...
During the last twenty years we have witnessed the steady rise in academic research and practitioner interest and inquiry on the topic of business models. The topic is still in its infancy, and thus a lot of literature hitherto has focused on the basics: d ...
Large enterprises need to coordinate the IT initiatives that exist in different organisational units of the enterprise. If these initiatives are not coordinated, the resulting IT system is likely to become difficult to use and expensive to develop/maintain ...
In this paper we present the methodology implemented for analyzing System Requirements and Interfaces of the Heating and Current Drive (HCD) system of the European Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor DEMO. The work consisted in updating the preliminary fram ...
The article links two seemingly different fundamental theoretical concepts of autopoiesis and homeostasis and tries to apply them to the realm of socio-technical systems with the use of the Fractal Enterprise Model (FEM). Autopoiesis is the property of a s ...
