Modeling high-level enterprise strategies helps clarify the intentional dependencies between the organizational actors. Business process models, on the other hand, give more elaborated descriptions to the enterprise daily operations. In this paper, we aim to synthesize these two modeling perspectives by synthesizing the i* model and the UML activity diagram.

In this paper we propose a typed approach to business process specification based on typed workflow charts. these can be exploited as a domain-specific programming language and facilitate tight integration between workflow definition and system dialogue programming. the approach also supports the integration of business process modeling and business process automation. We discuss two ways of exploiting this potential for integration, one is the design of an integrated business process management suite and the other is a software artifact tracker based on a view-based, multidimensional software modeling tool.

this paper focuses on the issue of ontological interpretation for the ARIS organization modeling language withthe following contributions: (i) providing real-world semantics to the primitives of the language by using the UFO foundational ontology as a semantic domain;(ii) the identification of inappropriate elements of the language, using a systematic ontology-based analysis approach;and (iii) recommendations for improvements of the language to resolve the issues identified.

the paradigm of service orientation is heavily used to design complex IT systems able to satisfy the need for an agile business support. Many enterprises have established service-oriented architectures (SOAs) of different size and complexity. However, such SOAs need efficient management and the discipline of enterprise architecture management has only just begun to reflect the shift from application orientation to service orientation. this contribution discusses how enterprise architecture management can react on service orientation by providing a viewpoint-driven approach. We present a methodology able to develop SOA viewpoints by systematically addressing stake-holder concerns, designing an adequate metamodel, identifying data sources and providing visualizations for stakeholders' analyses. To evaluate the approach, 45 SOA-related concerns were collected, a comprehensive metamodel was designed, and a prototype was implemented able to support typical SOA analyses in an enterprise context.

this paper reviews the support for the goal domain in several enterprise modelling approaches and enterprise architecture frameworks, namely, ARIS, ISO RM-ODP enterprise Language, DoDAF, MODAF, BPMN/BMM, ArchiMate and its ARMOR extension. We describe how these efforts propose to align goals withthe remaining elements in enterprise architectures (with special attention to the alignment of goals and business processes). Our aims are twofold: (i) to provide an integrated overview of the support for goal-related concepts in existing enterprise modelling approaches of and, (ii) provide guidance for the selection of the frameworks with respect to the support for goal-related concepts.

Cloud computing is already a major trend in IT. Cloud services are being offered at application (software), platform and infrastructure levels. this paper presents our initial modeling efforts towards service creation at the infrastructure level. the purpose of these modeling efforts is to understand and reason about the service creation process. the paper presents a conceptual model represented as a UML class diagram, and identifies the interactions between service providers and infrastructure providers that are necessary in order to set up an execution environment and deploy services on top of infrastructure services. Although the models are far from complete, we are confident that they already give us some insight in the service creation process.

While several role-related concepts play an important role in business modeling, their definitions, relations, and use differ greatly between languages, papers, and reports. Due to this, the knowledge captured by models is not transferred correctly, and models are incomparable. In this paper, we provide a meta-model and definitions for several role-related concepts based on the practice of existing modeling languages and ontological analysis. this forms a basis for creating comparable, formal business models, which enable further enterprise engineering, in a repeatable way.

Autonomic automation is viewed as a new approach to business process automation. In this work, we propose a method to identify the best-suited business processes as candidates for an autonomic automation. Generally, this decision is made by process automation experts or inspired by management preferences [1]. Moreover, the best candidate to an autonomic automation is possibly different from a candidate to a traditional automation. To support our method we developed a tool with ability to inspect the process model and obtain specific metrics. Finally, we present the results of the proposed selection method, compared with expert choices and to existent methods for traditional automation selection.

the "goal domain" addresses objectives in a broad scope ranging from high-level statements expressing the vision and mission of an organization (or community) to declarations of the results that must be achieved by business process execution. this paper reviews the support for the goal domain in ISO RM-ODP. We analyze the conceptualization for goals (objectives) in the reference model's enterprise Viewpoint using a fragment of the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) that deals with some aspects of social reality and intentionality. the interpretation of the RM-ODP concepts in terms of this foundation may help to provide a sound underpinning for these concepts and support the identification of possible extensions of the reference model.

Requirements on message-based interactions can be formalized as an interface contract that specifies constraints on the sequence of possible messages that can be exchanged by multiple parties. At runtime, each peer can monitor incoming messages and check that the contract is correctly being followed by their respective senders. We introduce cooperative runtime monitoring, where a recipient "delegates" its monitoring task to the sender, which is required to provide evidence that the message it sends complies withthe contract. In turn, this evidence can be quickly checked by the recipient, which is then guaranteed of the sender's compliance to the contract without doing the monitoring computation by itself. A particular application of this concept is shown on web services, where service providers can monitor and enforce contract compliance of third-party clients at a small cost on the server side, while avoiding to certify or digitally sign them.
