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 ...
SEAM is an enterprise architecture method based on RM-ODP part 2. In this paper, we present an example of a SEAM hierarchical model where the behavioral part is formalized in Alloy. We introduce four kinds of actions and their relationships to properties t ...
SEAM is an enterprise architecture method that defines a visual language for modeling. Our goal is to provide formal semantics for SEAM. Model simulation, model comparison, and refinement verification are practical benefits we expect from this formalizatio ...
Enterprise survival is about maintaining an identity that is separate from other enterprises. We define flexibility as the ability to change without losing identity. The identity of an enterprise can be analyzed as a set of norms and beliefs about these no ...
Enterprise modeling involves multiple domains of expertise: requirements engineering, business process modeling, IT development etc. Our experience has shown that hierarchical enterprise models, made of an assembly of system models, are effective. In these ...
The context of our work is a project that focuses on methods and tools for modeling enterprise architectures. An enterprise architecture model represents the structure of an enterprise across multiple levels, from the markets in which it operates down to t ...
The modelling of a manufacturing enterprise is not an easy task. A manufacturing enterprise is a complex system where technical knowledge is as important as management abilities. For taking more accurate management decisions and for these decisions to have ...
Today enterprises operate in a constantly changing market, characterized by shorter and shorter product life cycles, an increased demand for flexibility and changing techniques and technologies. In order to control these factors of complexity, enterprise m ...
Aligning business with IT requires understanding goals, strategies and needs. To be able to express them, an enterprise model can be developed. We present some of the traditional techniques used for the development of an enterprise model (value system, BPM ...
In enterprise architecture, the goal is to integrate business resources and IT resources in order to improve an enterprises competitiveness. In an enterprise architecture project, the development team usually constructs a model that represents the enterpri ...
