Domain analysis plays a significant role in the design phase of domain specific modeling languages (DSML). The Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF0) is proposed as a method for domain analysis. We implemented IDEF0 and managed to specify reusable domain specific language artifacts in a case study on water treatment plants safety. The observations suggest that IDEF0 not only exami...

In this paper provides the results of research on the development of the method of constructing a model of customs procedures in terms of the theory of queuing systems based on their description by means of functional modeling IDEF0. The technique is based on use of the integrated IDEF0 models and theory of queuing systems with the ability to transition from a description of the system in IDEF0...

The goal of this interdisciplinary paper is to show that an existing modeling language, Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF0), is applicable for use in strategy modeling and for automation of strategic plan development and implementation. We will show how utilization of the systems modeling language IDEF0 simplifies strategic plan development, and moves strategic planning and man...

A description of the process dimension of a notation for business process modelling that integrates aspects from IDEF0 and IDEF3 in a novel way is presented. The features of this notation include black box modelling of activities in the style of IDEF0 and glass box refinements of activities using connectors for specifying process branching in the style of IDEF3. The semantics of the notation is...

This document is an addendum to Deliverable D1.3, focusing on a deeper analysis of UML and IDEF0 process modelling languages. In this new study we highlight the differences between the languages, and give a better support for preferring IDEF0 over UML as language to model the guideline development process. Moreover, we have reviewed and updated part of the data related to the selection of the p...

This paper proposes a structured framework for calculating the cost of e-Government services, based on the complementary application of the IDEF0 modelling tool and the Activity-Based Costing technique. The motivation for this research effort was derived by the need to use an alternative method for the annual cost calculation of the TAXISnet e-Government services, since the relevant report publ...

Paper one “IDEF*: a comprehensive modeling methodology for the development of manufacturing enterprise systems” [1] discusses the IDEF* modeling methodology which is used to reduce the incompatibility between the models and help modeling maintenance. The paper also gives information on the structure and various components of the supporting software tool that is used. Paper two “A knowledge-base...

Explicit, formal deenitions of software processes are needed for process understanding, communication, analysis, execution guidance, and improvement support. We conducted a case study which involved the creation of formal process deenitions using Abstraction Hierarchy Diagrams, IDEF0, MVP-L, and APPL/A. This paper describes the study, presents the lessons learned about process deenition in gene...

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) project is a massive, large-scale construction venture with complex interface. In order to reduce the risk of disasters and industrial accidents in save costs, simple flexible management system necessary for projects such as MRT. A set processes was identified through literature review data collection, Integration Definition Function Modeling (IDEF0) process used lo...
