Towards Assessing the Multi-View Modeling Capability of Enterprise Modeling Methods

Towards Assessing the Multi-View Modeling Capability of Enterprise Modeling Methods

Abstract

Today's enterprises and their underlying information systems ask for Multi-View Enterprise Modeling Methods (MVMMs) toward a comprehensive model representation. MVMMs capture the required aspects of complex systems using multiple views – the Multi-View Modeling (MVM) capability. However, not all modeling methods are endowed with a MVM capability. Means for assessing and improving such capability are therefore needed. Based on a comparative analysis of three MVMMs, we define the notion of MVM capability. Drawing on these criteria, an EBNF-based description is proposed, serving as a basis for MVM capability assessment. The strengths of the approach go beyond offering a common understanding of the MVM capability notion by i) assessing the MVM capability, and ii) identifying requirements to achieve this capability. Consequently, this approach primarily addresses method engineers aiming to employ MVM capability to a modeling method.
