Supporting interoperability of collaborative networks through engineering of a service-based Mediation Information System (MISE 2.0)

Abstract

International audienceThe Mediation Information System Engineering project is currently finishing its second iteration (MISE 2.0). The main objective of this scientific project is to provide any emerging collaborative situation with methods and tools to deploy a Mediation Information System (MIS). MISE 2.0 aims at defining and designing a service-based platform, dedicated to initiating and supporting the interoperability of collaborative situations among potential partners. This MISE 2.0 platform implements a model-driven engineering approach to the design of a service-oriented MIS dedicated to supporting the collaborative situation. This approach is structured in three layers, each providing their own key innovative points: (i) the gathering of individual and collaborative knowledge to provide appropriate collaborative business behaviour (key point: knowledge management, including semantics, exploitation and capitalization), (ii) deployment of a mediation information system able to computerize the previously deduced collaborative processes (key point: the automatic generation of collaborative workflows, including connection with existing devices or services) (iii) the management of the agility of the obtained collaborative network of organizations (key point: supervision of collaborative situations and relevant exploitation of the gathered data). MISE covers business issues (through BPM), technical issues (through an SOA) and agility issues of collaborative situations (through EDA)

An automatic model-to-model mapping and transformation methodology to serve model-based systems engineering

“…Model relates to the previous process modelling step (Wetzstein et al 2007 In order to retain the business/IT level consideration, Benaben et al (2015) split the cycle into two overall parts: the design-time (when the process is modelled) and the run-time (when the process is executed). In addition, Jung et al (2007) discusses semantic BPM and proposes an integration of knowledge management within the BPM lifecycle, which brings an interesting third point of view on BPM.…”

Collaborative Knowledge Framework for Mediation Information System Engineering

“…This project aims to deduce automatically mediation information system to orchestrate the collaborative process among organizations. The methodology to develop MISE 2.0 project has been presented in [46,47]. In this section, we will present the use of collaborative knowledge framework through a small collaborative case, and each step of the case used the methodology presented in [46,47], but here we are not focusing on the method but the use result of the framework, so the case only shows the results of CIM, PIM, and PSM.…”

“…It represents the information concerning shared partner functions and input/output messages. [9,47]. In this phase, the collaborative ontology and transformation rules are defined to transfer the collaboration concepts to the mediation concepts in the collaborative ontology; meanwhile, (i) transfer CIM to PIM, and (ii) transfer organizational, informational, and functional knowledge to process knowledge.…”

“…To complete the sequence and the gateway, the method of sequence deduction is developed. [22,47]. The first task of PSM is to match web services with business functions.…”

Information System agility to support collaborative organisations

“…In the context of this special issue, these four facets of agility have been considered with respect to two orders: the first order represents the main components of agility while the second order concerns the features of these main components (Benaben et al 2015). Consequently, agility may be defined, on the first order, as the capacity of a system to (i) detect any (potentially unexpected) situation that requires the system to change and (ii) adapt its global structure/behaviour to that situation.…”
