This thesis presents the Situation-Based Modeling Framework for Enterprise Architecture. This framework improves system modeling by making models more systemic and, therefore, making reasoning about these models easier. The context of this thesis is Enterp ...
Novel reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) devices offer combining software with application-specific hardware accelerators to speed up applications. However, by mixing user software and user hardware, principal programming abstractions and system-software ...
A lot of work exists on notions of equivalence and soundness relations of different workflow models, which are used in different domains like e.g. Business Process Modeling, Software and Service Engineering. These definitions are based on different models, ...
In this dissertation we investigate how Business/IT alignment in enterprise models can be enhanced by using a software engineering stepwise refinement paradigm. To have an IT system that supports an enterprise and meets the enterprise business needs, manag ...
In the developed world, an ever better and finer understanding of the processes leading to natural hazards is expected. This is in part achieved using the invaluable tool of numerical modeling, which offers the possibility of applying scenarios to a given ...
Software development nowadays involves several levels of abstraction: starting from the programming of single objects, to their combination into components, to their publication as services and the overall architecture linking elements at each level. As a ...
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a relatively new domain that is rapidly developing. The primary reason for developing EA is to support business by providing the fundamental technology and process structure for an IT strategy [TOGAF]. EA models have to mode ...
For organizations to survive and flourish in a changing environment, their business processes need to be flexible. Ashby’s law of requisite variety applied to business processes postulates that a robust process needs to exhibit as much variety in its respo ...
Enterprises need to create and maintain the fit between their business processes and their business process support (BPS) systems. This frequently requires re-engineering of business processes. If the business processes design ration-ales are made explicit ...
This paper serves as the introductory note to the Fifth Workshop on Business Process Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS’04). The workshop focuses on the exploration of issues related to the fit between business processes and Business Process Support ...
