Enterprise Architects, in their endeavor to achieve Enterprise
Integration, have limited guidance on how best to use Enterprise
Models and Modeling Tools to support their practice. It is widely
recognized that the practice of engineering enterprises needs a
number of models, but how to maintain the relation between these
models with ease is still a problem. Model interoperability is an
issue on multiople counts:
- How to interchange models between enterprise modeling
tools?
- How to maintain the interdependencies between models - whether
they describe the enterprise on the same level (but from different
points of view), or from the same point of view (but on different
levels of abstraction and granularity)?
- How to maintain a coherent and evolving set of enterprise
models in support onf continuous change processes?
- How to use and reuse enterprise models as a knowledge
resource?
The answers to these questions are of great importance to anyone
who is implementing ISO9001:2000 requirements, whether through
using enterprise architecture practice or not - although it can be
argued that a well executed architecture practice should satisfy
ISO9001 without additional effort.
This volume attacks the problem on three fronts:
1. Authors working in international standardisation and tool
development as well as in enterprise modeling research present the
latest developments in semantic integration;
2. Authors who are practitioners of, or conducting active
research in, enterprise architecting methodologies give an account
on the latest developments and strategic directions in architecture
frameworks and methodologies;
3. Authors who use or develop information integration
infrastructures present best practice and future trends of this
aspect of enterprise integration.
Chapters of this book include contributions to the International
Conference on Enterprise Integration and Modelling Technology
(ICEIMT'04), and those presented at the Design of Information
Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing (DIISM'04) Workshop. While
DIISM is traditionally oriented at supporting manufacturing
practice, the results have a far greater domain of
applicability.
