Service Oriented Enterprise Engineering: Applying Viable System Approach (vSa) in Enterprise Engineering for Sourcing Decision Making 面向服务的企业工程:在企业工程采购决策中应用可行系统方法(vSa)
Laleh Rafati, G. Poels
Componentization and service orientation are two key firm's behavioral orientations to transform the traditional (rigid) enterprise model into a flexible (dynamic) one in order to support making successful sourcing decisions like sharing services, in-outsourcing, centralization-decentralization and globalization. According to these enablers, a subjective and dynamic view is needed to study the dynamic nature of enterprises and to interpret the complex emerging phenomena of componentization and service orientation such as dynamic configuration of resources (dynamic capabilities), internal and external interaction between components, service exchange and value creation. In this paper, our solution is applying viable system approach (vSa) in Enterprise Engineering, 1) as an interpretive approach to qualify the concepts of the complex emerging phenomena of componentization and service orientation, 2) as a governance approach to investigate the implications of the complex emerging phenomena for sourcing decision making like sharing, in-outsourcing, centralization-decentralization and globalization.
组件化和面向服务是企业将传统(刚性)企业模式转变为灵活(动态)企业模式的两个关键行为取向,以支持做出成功的采购决策,如共享服务、内外包、集中-分散和全球化。根据这些使能因素,需要从主观和动态的角度来研究企业的动态性,并解释资源的动态配置(动态能力)、组件之间的内部和外部交互、服务交换和价值创造等复杂的组件化和面向服务的新兴现象。在本文中,我们的解决方案是在企业工程中应用可行系统方法(vSa), 1)作为一种解释方法来限定组件化和面向服务的复杂新兴现象的概念,2)作为一种治理方法来调查复杂新兴现象对采购决策的影响,如共享、内外包、集中-分散和全球化。

Improving Process Robustness through Domain-Specific Model Transformations 通过特定于领域的模型转换改进过程健壮性
Adrian Mos, T. Jacquin
Many forward-thinking organizations have adopted domain-specific languages (DSL) as the preferred method for describing business processes. Using DSL-based descriptions helps in removing uncertainty from the semantics of process models. DSLs can evolve in a managed way and with proper versioning of individual processes the original intentions of process designers can be preserved over time. However in collaborative projects, business processes written in different DSLs need to be converted to a common denominator format to facilitate exchange. Due to its widespread adoption, BPMN is ideally placed to serve as the exchange language for complex, cross-domain collaborations. This paper presents an approach for automatic two-way synchronization of domain-specific process models with BPMN diagrams. This approach can be valuable when collaboration between different stakeholders with different expertise is required, as well as when the company wants to leverage its investments in a BPM suite across its process portfolio. In addition, this approach ensures that changes to processes executed through the BPMS are valid with respect to their domain representations, minimizing the potential for runtime problems that are difficult to understand.
许多具有前瞻性的组织已经采用领域特定语言(DSL)作为描述业务流程的首选方法。使用基于dsl的描述有助于消除过程模型语义中的不确定性。dsl可以以受管理的方式发展,并且通过对单个流程进行适当的版本控制,流程设计者的原始意图可以随着时间的推移而保持不变。然而,在协作项目中,用不同dsl编写的业务流程需要转换为通用格式,以促进交换。由于被广泛采用,BPMN被理想地用作复杂的跨领域协作的交换语言。本文提出了一种基于BPMN图的领域特定流程模型的自动双向同步方法。当需要具有不同专业知识的不同涉众之间的协作时,以及当公司希望跨其流程组合利用其在BPM套件中的投资时,此方法可能很有价值。此外,这种方法确保对通过BPMS执行的流程的更改相对于其域表示是有效的,从而最大限度地减少了难以理解的运行时问题的可能性。

Determining the Necessity of Human Intervention When Migrating Models of an Evolved DSL 在迁移演化的DSL模型时确定人为干预的必要性
Hauke Wittern
This paper presents an approach for generating a migration script for existing models of an evolved DSL. The approach has two major benefits: first, unnecessary migration actions are eliminated automatically. Second and even more important, the necessity of human intervention during migration is determined automatically. The necessity of migration is determined by analyzing a DSL's metamodel and evaluating pre- and post conditions of transformation operator sequences.

Dilemmas in Enterprise Architecture Research and Practice from a Perspective of Feral Information Systems 从野性信息系统的视角看企业架构研究与实践中的困境
Torben Tambo, Lars Bækgaard
This paper is presenting a discussion of feral information systems (FIS) in relationship to enterprise architecture (EA) thereby aiming to better qualify the architectural understanding of information systems not in line with corporate IT/IS strategy and policies. A qualitative and case-based approach is used as empirical foundation of this paper. With users developing own IS, classical strategy-based EA approaches are challenged. Identifying FIS can strongly improve insight into organizational processes and shortcomings official EA. A functional and temporal perspective is proposed to guide EA processes to embrace unofficial, user-driven systems. As FIS tend not to follow any rules of corporate IS, EA embrace of FIS is more complex. Using a meta-model for the social and operational character of FIS this complexity can be managed along with the improve business insight. The recognition of FIS in EA both opens up for insight in local adaptations of business processes, but can also create room for low-cost innovation and rapid response to changes in business conditions. Several forecasts are suggesting corporate IT/IS to be more user-driven and with reduced control from IT/IS professionals. This paper is opening a discussion on EA practice when centralized control is assumed to decline. EA has a tendency to be developed "top-down" emphasizing strategic alignment. In this contributed it is suggested to include social and operational alignment in EA practice.
本文讨论了野生信息系统(FIS)与企业架构(EA)的关系,旨在更好地限定与企业IT/ is战略和政策不一致的信息系统的架构理解。本文采用定性和基于案例的方法作为实证基础。随着用户开发自己的信息系统,传统的基于策略的EA方法受到了挑战。识别FIS可以强有力地改进对组织过程和官方EA缺点的洞察。提出了一个功能和时间视角来指导EA过程接受非官方的、用户驱动的系统。由于FIS往往不遵循任何公司IS的规则,因此EA对FIS的接受更加复杂。使用FIS的社交和操作特性的元模型可以管理这种复杂性,同时提高业务洞察力。在EA中对FIS的认可不仅为业务流程的本地适应提供了洞察力,而且还为低成本创新和对业务条件变化的快速响应创造了空间。一些预测表明,企业IT/IS将更多地以用户为导向,减少IT/IS专业人员的控制。本文对集中控制衰落的情况下的EA实践进行了探讨。EA倾向于“自顶向下”开发,强调战略一致性。在这篇文章中,建议在EA实践中包括社会和操作一致性。

Two-Phase Composition of Complex Business Services in Cloud-Environments 云环境中复杂业务服务的两阶段组合
Rainer Schmidt, Michael Möhring
The ability to build complex business services is a crucial factor for implementing inter- and cross-organizational business processes. We propose a two-phase composition approach for services leveraging the benefits of cloud-environments. The materialization contains three steps: the definition of the composition workflow, the optimization of the composition workflow and the execution. The provisioning phase is followed by the service provisioning phase. It uses the extensibility and configuration operations of cloud-environments in the materialization to build complex business services. The two-phase composition process is a step towards a method for the model driven creation of complex cloud services.

Enterprise Architecture Evaluation Using Utility Theory 基于效用理论的企业架构评估
Magnus Österlind, Pontus Johnson, K. Karnati, Robert Lagerström, Margus Välja
With the increase in the number of quality attributes (e.g. cost, availability, reusability), that are being considered in the process of enterprise architecture analysis, the decision maker needs a systematic way to balance these attributes against each other to obtain the best possible architecture. Utility theory addresses this need by providing methods for numerical representation of preferences of a stakeholder involved in a decision-making process. In this paper utility theory key concepts are explained with examples. The process of calculating the utility metric, which reflects stake holder's set of preferences to select the most preferred architecture scenario is explained. The paper provides an explanation of how utility theory can be applied in enterprise architecture models which are meta-object facility compliant. This paper concludes by an example comparing two quality attributes on two architecture scenarios using utility theory and calculating the decision maker's overall utility metric across both quality attributes is provided. This shows the applicability of utility theory on architecture scenario analysis with multiple quality attributes.
随着企业架构分析过程中所考虑的质量属性(例如成本、可用性、可重用性)数量的增加,决策者需要一种系统的方法来平衡这些属性,以获得最好的架构。效用理论通过提供参与决策过程的利益相关者偏好的数值表示方法来解决这一需求。本文通过实例对效用理论的关键概念进行了解释。解释了计算效用度量的过程,它反映了涉众选择最喜欢的体系结构场景的偏好集。本文解释了效用理论如何应用于元对象设施兼容的企业架构模型。本文最后通过一个例子,利用效用理论比较了两种体系结构场景下的两个质量属性,并计算了决策者在两个质量属性上的总体效用度量。这表明效用理论在具有多重质量属性的建筑场景分析中的适用性。

Empowering Business Users to Analyze Enterprise Architectures: Structural Model Matching to Configure Visualizations 授权业务用户分析企业架构:结构模型匹配以配置可视化
S. Roth, M. Hauder, M. Zec, A. Utz, F. Matthes
Visualizations are common means to analyze Enterprise Architecture (EA) models and support decision makers with relevant information on organizational processes, information systems, infrastructure, and their interconnections. These EA visualizations are tailored typically to the specific information demand of stakeholders. Currently, creating such stakeholder-specific visualizations requires experts with a strong technical background due to complex configurations and inflexible tool solutions. In particular business users often lack technical expertise. At the same time, their concerns and questions often arise spontaneously. In this vein, visualizations that can be generated without expert knowledge would enable business users to perform ad-hoc analyses of an EA information model. Against this background, we propose a solution which facilitates analyses of arbitrary EA information models by non-technical stakeholders. Our approach is based on ad-hoc, configurable visualizations. We introduce an end-user friendly wizard that lowers the barrier for the creation of EA visualizations. The wizard is based on structural pattern matching of models. Key to our approach are abstract viewpoints that model best-practice knowledge of EA visualizations and abstract view models which model the information demand of abstract viewpoints. Our contributions in this paper are 1) a meta-information model capable to capture both the technical information demand of an abstract viewpoint and the information offer of an EA information model, 2) a pattern matching algorithm calculating viable configurations for bindings of visualizations to information, and 3) a wizard to support non-technical stakeholders with the creation of these visualizations. We present an implementation of our approach and show user interface design of the wizard. The wizard recommends feasible configurations automatically in order to unburden the configuration process for non-technical stakeholders.
可视化是分析企业架构(Enterprise Architecture, EA)模型和用组织过程、信息系统、基础设施及其相互连接的相关信息支持决策者的常用方法。这些EA可视化通常针对涉众的特定信息需求进行定制。目前,由于复杂的配置和不灵活的工具解决方案,创建这种特定于涉众的可视化需要具有强大技术背景的专家。特别是业务用户往往缺乏技术专长。与此同时,他们的担忧和问题往往是自发产生的。在这种情况下,无需专家知识就可以生成的可视化将使业务用户能够执行EA信息模型的特别分析。在此背景下,我们提出了一种解决方案,它可以促进非技术涉众对任意EA信息模型的分析。我们的方法是基于特别的、可配置的可视化。我们介绍了一个终端用户友好的向导,它降低了创建EA可视化的障碍。该向导基于模型的结构模式匹配。我们方法的关键是建模EA可视化最佳实践知识的抽象视点和建模抽象视点信息需求的抽象视图模型。我们在本文中的贡献是1)一个元信息模型,能够捕获抽象视点的技术信息需求和EA信息模型的信息提供,2)一个模式匹配算法,计算可视化与信息绑定的可行配置,以及3)一个向导,支持非技术涉众创建这些可视化。我们给出了我们的方法的实现,并展示了向导的用户界面设计。向导自动推荐可行的配置,以便为非技术涉众减轻配置过程的负担。

Model-Based Integrated Planning for Logistics Service Contracts 基于模型的物流服务合同集成规划
S. Mutke, Christoph Augenstein, André Ludwig
In the past, logistics used to be a core function of production and trading companies but many of them started to outsource at least parts of their logistics functions to specialized logistics service providers in terms of logistics contracts. With this, sophisticated business models such as value added logistics service providers evolved which concentrate on tasks of planning, coordination and monitoring of entire supply chains. Most of these tasks encompass a variety of isolated steps in order to deliver efficient logistics processes. In this paper, an approach that supports the integrated planning of logistics contracts is presented. A mechanism for integrating different models which are used during isolated planning tasks is described in detail. Further, an example shows how to generate a simulation model starting from a process description and hence how to make consistently reuse of models.
过去,物流是生产和贸易企业的核心职能,但许多企业开始通过物流合同将其至少部分物流职能外包给专门的物流服务提供商。因此,诸如增值物流服务提供商等复杂的商业模式得以发展,这些模式专注于整个供应链的规划、协调和监控任务。为了提供高效的物流流程,这些任务中的大多数都包含各种孤立的步骤。本文提出了一种支持物流合同综合规划的方法。详细描述了在孤立的规划任务中使用的集成不同模型的机制。此外,一个示例显示了如何从流程描述开始生成仿真模型,从而如何一致地重用模型。

A Modular Ontology for the Enterprise Architecture Domain 企业体系结构领域的模块化本体
Marzieh Bakhshandeh, Gonçalo Antunes, Rudolf Mayer, J. Borbinha, A. Caetano
Enterprise architecture supports the analysis, design and engineering of business-oriented systems through multiple views. Each view expresses the elements and relationships of a system from the perspective of specific system concerns relevant to one or more of its stakeholders. As a result, each view needs to expressed in the architecture description language that best suits its concerns. Therefore, an enterprise architecture may be described using a set of different languages. However, current enterprise architecture modelling languages display two issues in this setting. First, they lack mechanisms to integrate multiple architecture description languages. This issue hinders the specification of views using different languages. Second, enterprise architecture models lack quantitative analysis support. This paper describes an ontology-based approach in order to have a modular ontology for the enterprise architecture domain, to specify and integrate multiple architecture modelling languages and to analyse the resulting integrated models. The approach relies on transformations between an upper-domain ontology based on the ArchiMate language and on a set of domain-specific ontologies to deal with the specific architecture modelling languages. The resulting models are quantifiable in the sense they provide the means to assess the consistency of the enterprise architecture models and to analyse their structure. The applicability of the approach is shown through a case study and the correctness of the ontology is shown by a set of competency questions.
企业架构通过多个视图支持面向业务的系统的分析、设计和工程。每个视图从与一个或多个涉众相关的特定系统关注点的角度来表达系统的元素和关系。因此,每个视图都需要用最适合其关注点的体系结构描述语言来表达。因此,可以使用一组不同的语言来描述企业架构。然而,当前的企业架构建模语言在这种设置中显示了两个问题。首先,它们缺乏集成多种体系结构描述语言的机制。这个问题阻碍了使用不同语言规范视图。第二,企业架构模型缺乏定量分析支持。本文描述了一种基于本体的方法,以获得企业体系结构领域的模块化本体,指定和集成多种体系结构建模语言,并分析生成的集成模型。该方法依赖于基于ArchiMate语言的上域本体和一组特定于领域的本体之间的转换,以处理特定的体系结构建模语言。由此产生的模型是可量化的,因为它们提供了评估企业架构模型的一致性和分析其结构的方法。通过案例分析证明了该方法的适用性,并通过一系列胜任力问题证明了本体论的正确性。

Each view expresses the elements and relationships of a system from the perspective of specific system concerns relevant to one or more of its stakeholders. As a result, each view needs to expressed in the architecture description language that best suits its concerns. Therefore, an enterprise architecture may be described using a set of different languages. However, current enterprise architecture modelling languages display two issues in this setting. First, they lack mechanisms to integrate multiple architecture description languages. This issue hinders the specification of views using different languages. Second, enterprise architecture models lack quantitative analysis support.
