Enterprise Modelling: Improving the Quality of Requirements Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The core of Enterprise Modelling methodology is the Enterprise Model (EM), that is a system of knowledge, maintained by a software tool. The EM can be regarded as a requirements specification (RS) as well as used as a basis for other forms of its presentation. The framework of the EM reflects different aspects of enterprise and has been found to support and amplify human thinking and reasoning. Quality of the EM is maintained by early and continuous participance of various groups of users of the RS in the Enterprise Modelling activities and by computer-aided quality control procedures. The methodology is suitable for evolving enterprises and applicable also in the area of business re-engineering.

The approach presented here is based on the concept of Enterprise Modelling, where different modelling "worlds", or sub-models, are used. The objectives submodel describes, the "why", the long term intention or vision of the enterprise we are discussing or designing. The concept sub-model describes what "things" (phenomena) developers are talking about, using a conceptual modelling technique. T...

Requirements modelling is a highly critical phase in the development of computerised information system. The consequences of errors are difficult to trace in the further development phases. Usually, the price paid for complex information system reengineering activities is relatively too big, compared to the cost of development the completely new version of it. A great variety of problems such a...
متن کاملA Basis for Integration within Enterprise Modelling
Ideally, wishes of various enterprise stakeholders could be described as objectives which constitute a driving force for further enterprise reengineering activities. Recently, this idea was raised in several papers [Bub93], [SBWJ94]. The main difficulty in the process of concurrent enterprise modelling is that an equivalent objective can be interpreted and understood by several persons differen...
