At first glance, it might not seem as if there was a tangible connection between playing a video game such as Super Mario World, and creating a business process model in a respective software. However, this paper argues that business process modelling itself can in fact be considered a game, and thus current issues of business process modeling such as insufficient model quality and unmotivated process modellers can be attributed to problems of the underlying “game design”. As a solution, the activity of building tools for business process modeling may also be addressed using game design techniques, thereby allowing the positive impacts and benefits of games on engagement, motivation, training, and performance to be carried over to this non-game context. Such a games-perspective on business process modelling has already been assumed by a small number of researchers, as will be shown through a discussion of related work. Lastly, this paper calls for additional research situated at the intersection between process modelling and games.

This paper introduces Industrial Business Process Management (IBPM) as a novel research direction for information science (IS) based on the European Commission’s project GO0DMAN. The project’s aim is to establish a knowledge-based, ICT-supported approach for IBPM using system’s engineering and optimization techniques realized by hybrid conceptual modelling methods. The contribution of this paper is a novel procedural framework that guides the design and development of such hybrid modelling methods. The framework comprises three abstraction levels: a) abstract metamodel building blocks – to define the abstract modelling language constructs and model processing capabilities required for domain aspects (e.g., in manufacturing: multi-stage, material, information and control flows); b) model & functional building blocks - as concrete modelling structures and analytical functionalities processing the models; and c) execution building blocks - a corresponding modelling and model processing environment implementation to support the modeller during the application. Composition and injection mechanisms on abstract building blocks enable efficient realization of concrete modelling and model processing capabilities by re-using and/or extending existing artefacts. Evaluation is performed by using the metamodelling platform ADOxx for a proof-of-concept implementation of a multi-stage manufacturing process simulation environment.

The aim of the Human Behavior Monitoring and Support (HBMS) project has been to actively assist individuals in activities of daily living and other situations using users’ own episodic knowledge. This knowledge is represented and preserved in HBMS in the HCM, the Human Cognitive Model, expressed in the domain specific modelling language HCM-L. HCM also forms the base for reasoning, model matching and support state visualization. Moreover, in the HBMS-System conceptual models are also used to define interfaces to activity recognition systems, support clients and data available in the Semantic Web. Thus, we see HBMS-System as an application of the Model Centered Architecture (MCA) paradigm. This paper describes how the project evolved over time, its main challenges and milestones, its main processes and their dependencies, and what is going to happen in the next future.

EPC, BPMN, SOM and petri nets are methods to business process modelling which look quite different at the first glance. Considering the two main characteristics of a system, structure and behaviour, this short article shows two things: (1) in all methods the behaviour model can be regarded as a petri net enriched with certain semantics, (2) the structure model is missing in all methods besides SOM, thus wasting a lot of semantics.

This paper reports on the use of the OntoElect methodology for evaluating the fitness of an existing ontology to the requirements of the knowledge stakeholders in a domain. It demonstrates, that a thorough routine for indirect elicitation, ensuring completeness, correctness of interpretation, using in ontology evaluation of these requirements is a must for ontology engineering. This is also valid if the requirements for ontology refinement are elaborated by a very high profile expert working groups. The approach used in the reported research is based on the use of OntoElect – the methodology for ontology refinement. The workflow of OntoElect contains three phases: feature elicitation, requirements conceptualization, and ontology evaluation. It elicits the set of terms extracted from a saturated collection of documents in the domain. It further sublimates these terms to the set of required features using the information about term significance in the form of numeric scores. Furthermore, it applies conceptualization and formalization activities to these features yielding their aggregations as ontological fragments interpreted as formalized requirements. Finally, the mappings are specified between the elements in the requirements and ontology elements. The scores are used in the mappings to indicate the strength of positive or negative votes regarding the evaluated ontology. The sum of the votes gives the overall numeric fitness measure of the ontology to the domain requirements. The paper presents the use of OntoElect in the use case of evaluating the W3C OWL-Time ontology against the requirements extracted from the proceedings of the TIME symposia series.

Conceptual Models are part of an increasing number of engineering processes. The model driven development approach considers conceptual models as first-class entities and also considers tools, repositories, etc. as models. In order to take full advantage of these ideas, model transformation is a main activity. A sound software production process, conceptual-modelling based, must go from the initial requirements model to the final application code through a well-defined set of conceptual models and transformations between them. Model transformation aims at supporting the production of target models from a number of source models, while keeping a full traceability support. The current paper presents a practical application of these ideas using the Model Centred Architecture contributed by Heinrich C. Mayr. In this line, we present our research efforts on the integration of requirements and executable conceptual models. We reflect on the integration of Communication Analysis (a communication-oriented business process modelling and requirements method) and the OO-Method (an object-oriented model-driven development method).
概念模型是越来越多的工程过程的一部分。模型驱动的开发方法将概念模型视为一级实体,并将工具、存储库等视为模型。为了充分利用这些思想,模型转换是一个主要的活动。一个基于概念建模的健全的软件生产过程,必须通过一组定义良好的概念模型和它们之间的转换,从最初的需求模型到最终的应用程序代码。模型转换旨在支持从许多源模型生成目标模型,同时保持完整的可跟踪性支持。本文通过Heinrich C. Mayr提出的以模型为中心的体系结构,展示了这些思想的实际应用。在这一行中,我们展示了我们对需求和可执行概念模型集成的研究成果。我们考虑了通信分析(一种面向通信的业务流程建模和需求方法)和oo方法(一种面向对象的模型驱动的开发方法)的集成。

Feature models are a means to represent software variability. Due to their logical grounding, such representations allow for automated reasoning about specific model properties. In this article, we show how the concepts of conflict detection and model-based diagnosis can be applied to analyse and improve the quality of a feature model. The example feature model used in this context is based on the variability information of a real-world event management environment.

Conceptual modelling has originated from the areas of software engineering, databases and knowledge representation, and Heinrich C. Mayr, to whom this article is dedicated, has been involved in this area from the very beginnings. While in these areas a high degree of maturity has been achieved, conceptual modelling still lacks this maturity in other areas such as service-oriented systems despite the demand from novel application areas such as cloud computing. In this article we discuss the axiomatic BDCM2 framework capturing behaviour, description, contracting, monitoring and mediation. We argue that the framework gives an abstract answer to the ontological question what service-oriented systems are. On these grounds we address the intrinsically connected modelling question how to capture cloud-enabled service-oriented systems. We outline a conceptual modelling approach that is grounded in a distributed middleware coordinating the client access to multiple clouds through a concept of mediator. For this we exploit abstract machines with interconnected layers for normal operation, monitoring and adaptation. We illustrate the model by the use case of a robotic care system showing that the general model can be fruitfully exploited for failure alerts, failure anticipation and prevention, and safety hazards detection, which links the research to recent interests of Heinrich in conceptual modelling for ambient assistance systems.
概念建模起源于软件工程、数据库和知识表示领域,并且本文所要献给的Heinrich C. Mayr从一开始就参与了这个领域。虽然在这些领域已经达到了高度的成熟度,但在其他领域(如面向服务的系统),概念建模仍然缺乏这种成熟度,尽管有来自云计算等新应用领域的需求。在本文中,我们将讨论公理BDCM2框架捕获行为、描述、契约、监视和中介。我们认为,该框架对面向服务的系统是什么这个本体论问题给出了一个抽象的答案。在这些基础上,我们解决了内在连接的建模问题,即如何捕获支持云的面向服务系统。我们概述了一种概念性建模方法,该方法以分布式中间件为基础,通过中介的概念协调客户机对多个云的访问。为此,我们利用具有相互连接层的抽象机器进行正常操作、监控和适应。我们通过机器人护理系统的用例说明了该模型,表明一般模型可以有效地用于故障警报,故障预测和预防以及安全隐患检测,这将研究与Heinrich最近对环境辅助系统概念建模的兴趣联系起来。

Human resources (HR) recruitment is still a major challenge for many organizations since HR recruitment officers need to spend lots of time and effort to find the best candidate from a large number of applicants for a job position. In this paper, we propose a new approach for ontology-supported web-based HR recruitment systems. Our approach is facilitated by Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for constructing domain-specific ontologies to model position requirements and applicants’ competences. To evaluate our approach, we implement a prototype and conduct a case study. The case study demonstrates that the proposed approach has the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the HR recruitment process.
