“…The first conclusion of this section is the following: Process modelling might be a very relevant pivot to bind enterprise modelling with IS modelling. This statement is perfectly in line with considerations of Anaya et al (2010) about Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML): The central motivation of UEML is to 'exchange information contained in enterprise and IS models across modelling language boundaries'.…”

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.

“…It allows to represent events, functions and other modelling elements such as process owner, logical connectors and relationships, etc., with the purpose of describing business processes. In this context, the large amount of modelling languages that emerged throughout the years fostered the development of a hub able to integrate different modelling languages, thus the Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) was proposed [35] with the objective to serve as an interface between enterprise modelling languages, tools, and frameworks [36]. On the other hand, considering a Computer-integrated Manufacturing (CIM) context, the GRAI method [37] was devised to design models describing decision systems.…”

Organisational assessments provide a view of the state of different aspects of an enterprise so as to understand its strengths, weaknesses and possible improvement paths. A relevant element used to perform assessments is the assessment framework, which contains the requirements that the entity must fulfil as well as other aspects. On the other hand, another essential element during an assessment is the Evidence, which is any type of data reflecting the state of the assessed entity. Among several possible assessment evidences, such as documents, e-mails, interview extracts, and questionnaires, Enterprise Models represented through a specific Modelling Language can serve as such, since they allow to describe diverse organisational aspects. Thus, they can provide useful information to be considered when performing an assessment. Notwithstanding, the analysis of the models is demanding in terms of time and resources, and reducing the effort to perform such analysis could improve the assessment process. Thus, a possible manner of improving the analysis process is to understand beforehand which type of information can be found within an enterprise model taking into consideration the modelling language that has been used to represent it and the list of requirements defined by the assessment framework used to perform the assessment. In this sense, this work introduces a method to identify the requirements, devised by an assessment framework, that can be answered through the analysis of modelling elements defined using a specific modelling language. We ground our approach on a Requirement Decomposition task following the Pseudo-Requirement Graph method, and the matching between requirements and modelling language elements following the Goal Question Metric paradigm. To validate our method, we perform separate evaluations of the BPMN and ArchiMate languages, to identify the set of requirements from the ISO/IEC 33020 international standard that can be answered through models that are defined using each language. We also introduce a case study based on the analysis of a concrete business process, following the proposed approach.

Nowadays, the emergence of several model-driven development (MDD) proposals that are related to multiple domains requires the definition of proper interoperability mechanisms that facilitate the reuse of knowledge in the MDD community by taking advantage of already defined modeling languages, tools, and standards. However, there are no recent studies that cover the existent interoperability alternatives in the model-driven domain nor is there a common interoperability framework. This paper confronts this situation through a systematic analysis of recent interoperability approaches that provide relevant features for MDD processes. From this analysis, a general interoperability framework is depicted, which is complemented with our contributions to solve specific interoperability issues. Therefore, we present those aspects that are already covered by existent proposals as well as those pending subjects that, from our point of view, are future challenges in order to achieve a suitable interoperability framework for MDD approaches.
