“…We chose DEMO because it is a widely accepted methodology that can produce the IT RM's ontology in a systematic way and by simplifying the process. Thus, DEMO facilitates IT RM's implementation and provides explicit and unambiguous concepts for the constructs used in the models (P. Huysmans, 2010). DEMO comprises a Way of Thinking that consists of Enterprise Engineering (EE) theories, a Way of Modelling containing aspect models, and a Way of Working which supports the making of essential models.…”

Nowadays, organisations use and rely on Information Technology (IT) solutions. However, despite their benefits, IT solutions induct risks. Consequently, organisations implement Risk Management (RM), more specifically Information Technology Risk Management (IT RM), in order to maximize the effectiveness of IT usage while dealing with IT risks. Nevertheless, IT RM's implementation is not easy, since numerous standards and frameworks propose multiple RM processes to deal with IT risks. Moreover, these processes are composed of different activities causing confusion. In the end, organisations are not capable of managing risks successfully due to IT RM's complexity. To overcome IT RM diversity, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted. The goal is to identify which are the most essential IT RM activities. The SLR results were then integrated with ISO 31000 and PMBOK standards in the form of an ontology using Design and Engineering Methodology Ontology (DEMO). The contributions of this study are: the aggregate analysis of IT RM activities through the SLR; the identification of reasons and benefits of using DEMO; a description of an IT RM's essential model designed as an ontology; and a critical view of the benefits of the ontological model proposed.

“…DEMO applies enterprise ontology theory and 'Ontology' can be simply defined as an 'explicit specification of a conceptualization' [6]. DEMO models focuses on the communication pattern between human actors and various outputs produced during software development [7]. In this case we can use DEMO models to provide a high level overview of how the OS e-learning software products are developed without taking into consideration the technology or technique used for the development.…”

“…In this case we can use DEMO models to provide a high level overview of how the OS e-learning software products are developed without taking into consideration the technology or technique used for the development. The DEMO methodology and models has been already applied to OS systems and has been proved to provide a high quality, abstract model [7].…”

Abstract. To date, there is no comprehensive study of open source software development process (OSSDP) carried out for open source (OS) e-learning systems. This paper presents the work which objectively analyzes the open source software development (OSSD) practices carried out by e-learning systems development communities and their results are represented using DEMO models. These results are compared using ISO/IEC 12207:2008. The comparison of DEMO models with ISO/IEC 12207 is a useful contribution; as it provides deeper understanding to-wards the OS e-learning system development.

“…Many papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] deal with case studies in which DEMO has been used to design situational DEMO based methods or to propose ontologies. Besides, qualities of DEMO models have been studied in several evaluations [22,26]. We found two papers dealing with a partial evaluation of DEMO in practice across several cases.…”

Part 4: Enterprise Modelling Approaches and Tools for Agility and FlexibilityInternational audienceIn this paper we are concerned with the development of an observational research approach to gain insights into the performance of Business Process Modelling Methods (BPMMs) in practice. In developing this observational approach, we have adopted an interpretive research approach. More specifically, this involved the design of a questionnaire to conduct semi-structured interviews to collect qualitative research data about the performance of BPMMs. Since a BPMM is a designed artefact, we also investigated Design Science Research literature to identify criteria to appreciate the performance of BPMMs in practice. As a result, the questionnaire that was used to guide the interview is based on a subset of criteria of progress for information systems theories, while the observational research approach we adopted involves the collection of qualitative data from multiple stakeholder types. As a next step, the resulting questionnaire was used to evaluate the performance an actual BPMM in practical use; the DEMO method. Though the analysis of the collected qualitative data of the DEMO case has not been fully performed yet, we already foresee that part of the information we collected provides new insights compared to existing studies about DEMO, as is the fact that a variety of types of stakeholders have been approached to observe the use of DEMO
