“…UEML aims to make it easier to combine modelling languages and associated techniques and tools depending on the problem at hand, an ambition resembling that of method engineering (Brinkkemper, Saeki & Harmsen 1998, Henderson-Sellers, Gonzalez-Perez, Serour & Firesmith 2005, Ralyé & Rolland 2001. In particular, UEML aims to support local tailoring/adaptation of languages and constructs to fit local practices and needs, possibly producing new domain-specific languages as a result.…”

Abstract:The Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) aims at supporting integrated use of enterprise and IS models expressed using different languages. To achieve this aim, UEML offers a hub through which modelling languages can be connected, thereby paving the way for also connecting the models expressed in those languages. This paper motivates and presents the most central parts of the UEML approach: a structured path to describing enterprise and IS modelling constructs; a common ontology to interrelate construct descriptions at the semantic level; a correspondence analysis approach to estimate semantic construct similarity; a quality framework to aid selection of languages; a meta-meta model to integrate the different parts of the approach; and a set of tools to aid its use and evolution. The paper also discusses the benefits of UEML and points to paths for further work.

“…the study of being itself. argue for such an imbalance, methodology definition could probably be considered as one of those wicked problems 5 for which the what and the how cannot be approached separately. We propose a revision of the traditional approach to one providing a comprehensive set of methodology elements that cover the whole spectrum of needs, potentially attaining the richness of UML on the modelling side and, at the same time, the power of OPEN on the process side, together with a neat integration of them both.…”

A great deal of effort is needed to construct software products in a predictable and repeatable manner. Having a precisely defined methodology in place can certainly help, especially if it includes the comprehensive specification of the process to be followed and the work products to be created. However, a convenient integration of these two aspects (process and work product) has not yet been performed. This paper presents a new approach to the definition of methodologies that supports the process and work product domains concurrently through the specification of discrete methodology elements. Some of these elements, called here templates, are designed to be instantiated during the use of the methodology in specific projects, while others, called resources, are intended to be used directly. Theoretical and practical implications of this division, especially regarding metamodelling and the use of powertypes, are explored. The proposed metamodelling approach is shown to facilitate the precise and complete specification of comprehensive methodologies, establishing the foundations for predictable and repeatable results from software development.

“…Brinkkemper, 1996) provides a rational approach to the construction of methods from method fragments, which are typically stored in a repository. The method itself is then constructed by selection of appropriate method fragments (Brinkkemper et al, 1998;Rolland et al, 1999) followed by their configuration in such a way as to satisfy the requirements for the method (Ralyté and Rolland, 2001) and create a meaningful overall method (Brinkkemper et al, 1998). A method targetted at a particular project or environment is known as a situated or situational method and the means of its derivation known as situational method engineering (SME) (Ter Hofstede and Verhoef, 1997).…”

“…In other words, a metamodel imposes some rules upon how a method should be constructed. Such rules also automatically impose some granularity constraints as noted in Brinkkemper et al (1998). A second set of rules is needed to assist in process construction.…”

Abstract:Enterprise-wide, web-based systems can be assisted in their construction by the use of agents and an agentoriented methodology. As part of an extensive research programme to create such an AO methodology by combining the benefits of method engineering and existing object-oriented frameworks (notably the OPF), we have analysed here contributions to the OPF repository of process components from the MASE agentoriented methodology, identifying three new Tasks, one additional Technique and two new Work Products.
