Modern business process modeling languages such as BPMN or EPC provide users with more constructs to represent real world situations than their predecessors such as IDEF or Petri Nets. But this apparent increase in expressiveness is accompanied by an increase in language complexity. In practice many organizations choose to only use a subset of the available modeling constructs. Using a well established...
Like RM-ODP [1], enterprise architecture (or EA for short) has its own perspectives as a basic construct for its architecture definition to represent areas of concern. In this paper, difference between RM-ODP and one concrete example EA, and applicability of Use of UML for ODP system specifications [2] (or UML4ODP in short) standard to the example EA, are discussed. Several additional diagrams that...
Process modeling and rule modeling languages are both used to document organizational policies and procedures. However, little work has been done to understand their synergies and overlap. Understanding the relationship between the two modeling types would allow organizations to maximize synergies and reduce their modeling effort. In this paper we use the well-established Bunge-Wand-Weber (BWW) representation...
SBVR is a new standard that defines a metamodel for business-layer vocabularies and rules. This paper summarizes SBVR features and argues that the SBVR enables definition of true ontologies. The paper also summarizes experience with a partial SBVR implementation in the context of an existing technique for modeling businesses and transforming the models into implementations. The work contributes to...
Statistical graphs are ubiquitous mechanisms for data visualization such that most, if not all, enterprises communicate information through them. However, many graphs are stored as unstructured images or proprietary binary objects, making them difficult to work with beyond the reports in which they are embedded. While graphs can be mapped to more common XML representations, these lack expressive semantics...
