“…A prototype of such an industrial application has already been developed (STEPS: Zanni-Merk et al, 2011) and is being tested on real-world cases. This software prototype implements the concepts of the ontology we have presented here and it can provide valuable assistance to the designer using TRIZ or IDM to work on a design project with domain experts.…”

TRIZ (the Russian acronym for Theory of Resolution of Inventive Problems) is a methodology to guide the search for inventive solutions to one, or a few, difficult problems. Classic TRIZ is not well suited to the examination of complex situations composed of many problems, sub-problems and partial solutions, strongly interconnected. It has therefore been completed to give birth, among others, to the Inventive Design Methodology (IDM) framework.TRIZ and IDM share many similarities with Artificial Intelligence methods: they both propose to solve a problem by reformulation in an abstract model. Generic solving patterns are applied to this abstract model to produce abstract solutions. The domain-specific knowledge is then used to get the final solution concept. However, neither TRIZ nor IDM's descriptions are formal enough to permit a reliable software implementation and rely mainly on the experts' manual work. Therefore this paper proposes an ontological formalization of TRIZ and IDM to overcome these difficulties and allow the development of software tools to assist TRIZ/IDM experts in their work.

Even if TRIZ is developing increasingly both in research and education, new users always encounter difficulties in their first attempts to practice it. In such situation, Altshuller's original contradiction matrix often appears as an "easy-to-begin-with" tool. However, while not being representative of what TRIZ really is, it continues to seduce new users, teachers and trainers. This article presents an innovative method for facilitating the use of the contradiction matrix, using a semantic similarity approach and case-based reasoning.

“…In accordance with Zachman's model, business processes are reflected in concept view. To model business processes the visual modeling languages can be used: UML [11], BPMN [12], IDEF0 [13]. Description of business processes given in notations can be brought to ontology as suggested in [10], [14], [15].…”

Abstract-The goal of this research is to design the approach to automated development of service-oriented architecture of information systems based on ontology. The approach presented in the paper is based on methodology of system and ontology design. Novelty of the approach is in application of semantic closure of system functions as clustering criteria. The results of the research were used in practice for design of e-university knowledge database. This paper is a part of the author's PhD thesis.
