For the design of work and knowledge systems it is today common to revert to enterprise
modeling methods. These methods not only support the representation and analysis of …

For supporting the conceptualization and the management of enterprise models in a
decentralized manner, this paper introduces an approach based on model versioning and …

Multi-view conceptual modeling provides means for representing, with diagrammatic means,
the knowledge describing a “system under study” whose complexity cannot be captured in a …

The Enterprise Knowledge Development (EKD) method promotes a holistic approach in
Enterprise Modeling and advocates that a single modeling perspective (product, activity or …

As the complexity of modern computer and enterprise systems is ever increasing due to
emerging technologies and the need to integrate different systems, modelling tools …

This chapter introduces tool support for the semantic object model (SOM). The conceptual
design of a multi-view modeling tool is presented after describing the core concepts of the …

The main objective of this thesis is to bridge the gap between modeling method experts on
the one side and tool developers on the other. More precisely, the focus is on the …

Multi-view modeling methods (MVMM) can cope with the increasing complexity of today's
enterprise and information systems by decomposing the corresponding model into several …

The benefits of models are today widely known and largely undisputed. One of the probably
most known examples includes architectural models that are an indispensable prerequisite …

Conceptual database modeling is supported by many languages, eg, the higher order entity-
relationship modeling (HERM) language. The model should be the basis for a logical and …
