What Could the Role of Enterprise Modelling be During the 5th Economic Phase? An Extended Abstract of Keynote Talk

摘要

Enterprise Modelling (EM) has emerged as one of the key techniques in externalising and analysing the factors underpinning the intertwining of Information Technology (IT) systems to their enterprise environment. This intertwining is central to achieving sustainability of IT systems. Sustainability has been studied in strategic management and more recently in Information Systems Engineering (ISE). In EM there is a large number of languages on offer to assist in capturing and conveying particular information for the understanding of the aforementioned intertwining, approaches such as goal modelling, business process modelling, business rules modelling, social modelling, to name but a few. In parallel with these initiatives, a number of associated tools has emerged e.g. ADONIS, Archimate, ARIS, GRADE, as well as meta-tools such as ADOxx, MetaEdit + and Metis.
