Abstract. In business process design, business objective models can fulfill the role of formal requirement definitions. Matching process models against objective models would, for instance, enable sound comparison of implementation alternatives. For that purpose, objective models should be available independently of their concrete implementation in a business process. This issue is not addressed by common business process management concepts yet. Moreover, process models are currently not sufficiently expressive to determine business process efficacy in the sense of fulfilling a business objective. Therefore, this paper develops and integrates constructs required for efficacy-aware process modeling and apt to extend common modeling approaches. The concept is illustrated with a sample scenario. Overall, it serves as an enabler for progressive applications like automated process optimization.

States that heterogeneous project groups today may be expected to use the mechanisms of the Web for sharing information. Metadata has been proposed as a mechanism for expressing semantics of information and, hence, facilitate information retrieval, understanding and use. Presents an approach to sharing of information which aims to use a semantic modeling language as the basis for expressing semantics of information and designing metadata schemes. Functioning in the borderlines between human and computer understandability, the modeling language could be able to express semantics of published Web documents. Reporting on work in progress, the paper presents the overall framework and ideas.

“…Domain modelling with RML Our domain modelling language, the Referent Modelling Language [9], provides constructs for naming concepts and their extensions (sets), partitioning them, relating them to each other and defining their attributes, all based on set theory. Figure 3 illustrates our notation in an RML model of task modelling concepts, similar to the ontology suggested in [8].…”

We introduce a framework for classifying user interface design representations, and argue that multiple representations are must be used in the design process, and that modelling languages must support the transition between them. We present languages for modelling domain, task and dialog and show how they provide increased support for design, through flexibility and integration. Design patterns based on model fragments from these languages are suggested as a design and engineering tool.Keywords: user interface model, task model, dialog model, design pattern INTRODUCTIONWith the standardization of UML and its emergence as a de-facto industrial standard, modelling of systems and software artefacts seems to be accepted in the engineering community. User interface modelling and model-based user interface design has however, not reached the mainstream software developer [1]. Red Whale's MOBILE [2] cover several models but lack integration with software engineering tools, while database-oriented tools like Genera's Genova [3] have a more narrow focus on concrete interaction object selection and layout. It seems that lack of tool support for going from comprehensive visual model diagrams to executable code may be a reason for this difference. But very few UML diagramming tools provide full codegeneration support, yet developers are using these tools to draw UML diagrams, e.g. for communication purposes. The lack of penetration of model-based user interface design methods may instead be due to pragmatic aspects of UI modelling languages, e.g. they are difficult to understand, inflexible and impractical to use and lack the appropriate integration with each other. Although formality in itself is important, it 1. This work is part of a Dr.ing study funded by The Research Council of Norway.may be that the focus should be language usability rather than theory, if the goal is reaching the mainstream. A uniform user interface modeling language must integrate sub-languages for domain, task and dialog modelling, be unconstraining and flexible, i.e. provide support for expressing design ideas, suggestions and decisions throughout the design process.In this paper we will first introduce a framework for classifying design representation. The framework provides a means for understanding how they are utilized in the design process, which in turn has implications for language design and usage. We then briefly present modelling languages for tasks and dialogs and discuss how our understanding affected their design. We then turn to how design knowledge can be represented in the same languages in the form of model-based user interface design patterns. Finally, we suggest how these modelling languages may be integrated with UML, to provide better integration with contemporary methods. DESIGN PROCESS AND REPRESENTATIONSTo better understand how design representations are used and the role they play, we use a model of organizational knowledge creation as a starting point [4]. According to this theory, there must during product deve...
