From Business Value Model to Coordination Process Model

Abstract

Abstract. The increased complexity of business webs calls for modeling the collaboration of enterprises from different perspectives, in particular the business and process perspectives, and for mutually aligning these perspectives. Business value modeling and coordination process modeling both are necessary for a good e-business design, but these activities have different goals and use different concepts. Nevertheless, the resulting models should be consistent with each other because they refer to the same system from different perspectives. Hence, checking the consistency between these models or producing one based on the other would be of high value. In this paper we discuss the issue of achieving consistency in multi-level e-business design and give guidelines to produce consistent coordination process models from business value models in a stepwise manner.

Value-Oriented Coordination Process Modeling

“…Several authors have proposed a method to build a coordination model from a value model [3][4][5][6][7]. Pijpers and Gordijn [3] proposed a method that makes an intermediate model (e 3 transition model) based on the value model by extending it with independent transfers of ownership rights of an object and the actual object itself.…”

“…In the current line of research two approaches for maintaining consistency between the value and coordination perspectives are used: (1) informally, by giving a set of guidelines how to use e.g. the business value perspective for finding a related coordination process perspective and vice versa [3][4][5][6][7], and (2) formally, by stating consistency rules between perspectives, which e.g. can be checked by model checkers [8][9][10].…”

Risk-aware design of value and coordination networks

“…First, it tries to identify the value patterns in the value model and then it adds a coordination pattern to the coordination model which realizes the value pattern. The chapter is based on two published papers [52] and [51].…”
