We propose a framework for component-based modeling that bring some answers to the component-based design problems. The framework uses an abstract layered model of components. It integrates and simplifies results about modeling timed systems by using timed ...
IT system is a general term for all software based business applications used in enterprises. IT systems support the actions of an enterprise by processing information about the enterprise and its environment and by providing this information to the enterp ...
This paper presents an approach for formalizing the RM-ODP (Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing), an ISO and ITU standard. The goal of this formalization is to clarify the RM-ODP modeling framework to make it more accessible to modelers such as ...
The development of business and information systems requires a significant amount of modeling. The current modeling languages and tools have difficulties supporting the modeling of systems spanning through multiple organizational levels. The use of inadequ ...
In this work we consider the behavioral aspects of system modeling. In order to specify the behavior of a system, many different notations can be used. Quite often different terms in these notations are related with to same element in a system implementati ...

This paper presents an original methodology for Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline whose purpose is to align more effectively the strategies of enterprises together with their processes and their resources (business and IT). ...
We present an approach to the definition of an object-oriented modeling paradigm done in the scope of general system modeling. The paradigm includes a formally defined metamodel and its supporting philosophical and natural science foundations. The metamode ...
This report represents the work of several people within the framework of the StreamCom project. This work, done together with our colleges from the University of St. Gallen, covers the modeling part of StreamCom. The aim of the modeling part of the Stream ...
