Towards using visual process models to control enterprise systems functionalities
by Jens Weller, Martin Juhrisch, Werner Esswein
International Journal of Networking and Virtual Organisations (IJNVO), Vol. 3, No. 4, 2006

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach for web-service development with the intention of IT infrastructure integration in enterprise models. This implies the extension of existing conceptual modelling languages with language constructs that aim at model information transparency on a web-service basis. Therefore, we assess the grammatical specification of conceptual modelling languages for business domains. Acting on the language meta-level means in this context the introduction of web-service-related constructs into widely used visual modelling grammars. The vision is the situation-dependent adaptation of software functionality to the actual documented utilisation. Economical relevance results from the reduction of significant discrepancies between enterprise systems functionalities and business requirements.
