Model-driven engineering of mediation information system for enterprise interoperability

Abstract

The MISE approach (mediation information system engineering) aims at defining and designing a platform, dedicated to initiate and support any collaborative situation among potential partners. Collaborative situations may emerge from manufacturing contexts (industrial production partners), economic contexts (supply chain), social contexts (crisis management partners) and any other contexts in which a set of organisations should work altogether to reach common and individual goals, exploiting each others competencies. The MISE approach is based on a model-driven engineering vision (MDE) dedicated to designing a mediation information system (MIS) in charge of improving interoperability in emerging collaborative situations. This MIS is dedicated to supporting the collaborative behaviour of the collaborative network by dealing with exchanged data, shared services and collaborative workflows. The final objective is a mediator system able to manage the operational collaboration of partners, through there information system, without constraint (at least with as less constraint as possible). The MIS design crosses the different abstraction layers of design (business, logical and technological) and exploits the associated models at each level to build the models of the next level. This paper presents the models involved (dedicated to the computer independent model, platform independent model and platform specific model levels of the MDE approach) and the transition mechanisms between levels.

A Domain-Specific Language for the Document-Based Model-Driven Engineering of Business Applications

“…It is worth indicating that MDE based on the business documents as proposed by DARC can also be related to the studies like [23], [24] where ontologies are used in business modeling. However, these studies mainly consider the system design for business processes (such as the overall description of service-oriented architectures or process modeling) while DARC directly aims at providing the automatic creation of business applications from design models reflecting the specifications of business documents.…”

Model-Driven Approach for Realization of Data Collection Architectures for Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems to Lower Manual Implementation Efforts

“…Another relevant approach is the contribution by Benaben et al [ 30 ] related to model-driven engineering of middleware systems. The approach focuses on the domain of enterprise integration between companies.…”

Making Strategic Supply Chain Capacity Planning more Dynamic to cope with Hyperconnected and Uncertain Environments

“…The algorithm uses the structure of the supply web metamodel to exploit the supply web models and automatically create the potential supply chain map model according to the potential supply chain map metamodel. It is a model transformation, as defined by Benaben et al [50], from the supply web point of view to the potential supply chain map point of view. In other words, it transforms the knowledge of the supply web into knowledge of the potential supply chain map.…”
