“…The examples are the POPS* modelling practice and the product model developed in the MAPPER project (Sandkuhl 2010). The roots of the POPS* (pronounced 'pop star') practice are the ATHENA POP* (Chen et al 2009) and the AKM method (Lillehagen and Krogstie 2008). This practice is also used in the 4EM method .…”

For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community.Informing Possible Future Worlds is the Festschrift in honour of Ulrich Frank on the occasion of his 65 th birthday. The Festschrift includes twenty-three essays written by friends, colleagues, and fellow researchers in recognition of Ulrich's contributions to Wirtschaftsinformatik research and the scientific community. Each essay is a personal and unique 'birthday present' to Ulrich Frank written exclusively for the Festschrift. From original research contributions to more personal reflections, the essays cover a wide range of topics, themes, and fields -just like Ulrich Frank's contributions.For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped and promoted Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through his thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community. He has initiated, engaged in and promoted scientific discourse nationally and internationally, inspired, encouraged and guided young researchers, and played an outstanding part in the Wirtschaftsinformatik community.Starting with his Diplomarbeit in 1982 on 'Die Problematisierung von Zielbildungsprozessen in Unternehmungen durch die Betriebswirtschaftslehre unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Verhältnisses von Wissenschaft und Praxis' (supervised by Erwin Grochla at the Universität zu Köln), Ulrich has cultivated his interest not only in Betriebswirtschaftslehre and Wirtschaftsinformatik, Software Engineering and Conceptual Modelling, but also in the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Language, the Sociology of Knowledge and in Organisational Sociology. For his Diplomarbeit, he read Albert, Feyerabend, Mittelstrass, and Popper, among others, and reflected on organisational goal-setting ('Zielbildungsprozesse') from multiple, complementary perspectives -a lifelong leitmotiv he later incorporated in his Multi-Perspective Enterprise Modelling (MEMO) method.An avid reader and bibliophile, Ulrich must have learned about Niklas Luhmann, the German sociologist working at Universität Bielefeld, Ulrich's hometown, likely in his teens, and started his own personal discourse with Luhmann's writings, and from there on expanded his readings. At about the same time, Ulrich started to program computers, developed and sold his first software application, and, most importantly, discovered Smalltalk, the programming language created by Alan Kay and others at Xerox PARC's Learning Research Group -which has strongly influenced him to this day and which he has admired ever since.Following his discovery of Smalltalk, he took a deep dive into Object-Oriented Programming and Object-Oriented Modelling that took him to take a minor in Angewandte Informatik (Applied Informatics) at the Universität zu Köln during his graduate studies.vii His doctoral research with Alfred Kieser at Universität Mannheim ...

“…The work developed by Grangel et al [21] stems from the enterprise modelling area. It focuses on the enterprise modelling language meta-model POP* [12], and develops the specific part dedicated to the business process view of the POP* meta-model. The meta-model focuses on activities and elements needed to enact and execute processes in a collaborative enterprise.…”

Business process modelling languages typically enable the representation of business process models by employing (graphical) symbols. These symbols can vary depending upon the verbosity of the language, the modeling paradigm, the focus of the language, and so on. To make explicit the different constructs and rules employed by a specific language as well as bridge the gap across different languages, meta-models have been proposed in literature. These meta-models are a crucial source of knowledge on what state-of-the-art literature considers relevant to describe business processes. Moreover, the rapid growth of techniques and tools that aim at supporting all dimensions of business processes and not only its control flow perspective, as for instance data and organisational aspects, makes even more important to have a clear idea, already at the conceptual level, of the key process constructs. The goal of this work is to provide the first extensive systematic literature review (SLR) of business process metamodels. This SLR aims at answering research questions concerning: (i) the kind of meta-models proposed in literature; (ii) the recurring constructs they contain; (iii) their purposes; and (iv) their evaluations. The SRL was performed manually considering papers automatically retrieved from reference paper repositories as well as proceedings of the main conferences in the Business Process Management research area. Thirty-six papers were selected and evaluated against four research questions. The results indicate the existence of a reasonable body of work conducted in this specific area, but not a full maturity. In particular, while traditional paradigms towards business process modelling, and aspects related to the business process control flow seem to be well present, novel paradigms and aspects related to the organisational, data and goal-oriented aspects of business processes seem to be still under-investigated.

“…Initial approaches to semantic interoperability have been achieved through ontology matching approaches (Shvaiko and Euzenat, 2013;Zdravković et al, 2011;Ye et al, 2008), interchange formats (Ushold et al, 1998;Chen et al, 2009) and reference ontologies (Annamalai et al, 2011;Foufou et al, 2005;Borsato, M., 2014;Chungoora and Young, 2011). These works start to show the potential benefits that can be gained from the use of formal logic but none of them meet the complex knowledge sharing requirements of manufacturing businesses, where all the key aspects of the business must interact and be able to share information, covering business model development and maintenance, new product and process development, production planning and operation, and on through to product operation, service and end-of-life management.…”

For many years now, the importance of semantic technologies, that provide a formal, logic based route to sharing meaning, has been recognized as offering the potential to support interoperability across multiple related applications and hence drive manufacturing competitiveness in the digital manufacturing age. However, progress in support of manufacturing enterprise interoperability has tended to be limited to fairly narrow domains of applicability. This paper presents a progression of research and understanding, culminating in the work undertaken in the recent EU FLEXINET project, to develop a comprehensive manufacturing reference ontology that can (a) support the clarification of understanding across domains, (b) support the ability to flexibly share information across interacting software systems and (c) provide the ability to readily configure company knowledge bases to support interoperable manufacturing systems.
