A Framework for Evaluating Process Modelling Languages for Distributed Environments
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The paper presents a framework for evaluating how well process modelling languages are suited for representing processes in distributed environments. The framework focuses on five main areas: Distribution, autonomy, heterogeneity, collaboration, and flexibility/evolution. The framework defines 21 quality metrics in the five main areas used to assess the ability to model processes in distributed environments. This paper also presents an evaluation of the four process modelling languages Oz, CAGIS, InConcert, and SPEM using the framework. The evaluation illustrates how the framework can be used and what results are typically found.

Semantics for structured systems modelling and simulation
Simulation modelling is an important tool for exploring and reasoning about complex systems. Many supporting languages are available. Commonly occurring features of these languages are constructs capturing concepts such as process, resource, and location. We describe a mathematical framework that supports a modelling idiom based on these core concepts, and which adopts stochastic methods for re...
متن کاملCommon Enterprise Modelling Framework for Distributed Organisations
The mission of Common Enterprise Modelling Framework for Distributed Organisations (CEMF-DO) is to provide, within distributed organisations, a common framework in which modelling, simulation, analysis and management of models for designing interoperability solutions are explored and integrated. The paper presents activities related to the work on a unify enterprise modelling language (UEML) an...
متن کاملUsing Java for Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Systems
Intelligent Agents are being used to model simple rational behaviours in a wide range of distributed applications. In particular, agents based on the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture have been used successfully in situations where some modelling of human reasoning and team cooperation has been needed, such as simulation of tactical decision making in air operations and command and con...
متن کاملSolving the Conflicts of Distributed Process Modelling: Towards an Integrated Approach
In this paper the basic structure of an integrated approach is discussed that addresses the major conflicts of distributed business process modelling. Our argumentation is grounded on the assumption that process modelling projects of a practically relevant size involve multiple modellers. Current modelling languages and methods, however, do only provide little support for such distributed model...
متن کاملA Framework for Evaluating Cloud Computing User’s Satisfaction in Information Technology Management
Cloud computing is a new discussion in enterprise IT. It has already become popular in terms of distributed technology in some companies. It enables managers to setup and run the intended businesses by avoiding excessive spending on computers, software and hiring expert staff, which proves to be cost effective. Cloud computing also helps users pay for the IT services without spending massive am...
