    Towards ontology-based validation of EA principles

    Ontology-based validation of enterprise architecture principles in enterprise models
    (2021) Montecchiari, Devid [in: Joint Proceedings of the BIR 2021 Workshops and Doctoral Consortium co-located with 20th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research (BIR 2021)]
    Enterprises use Enterprise Architecture Principles as a guiding set of rules to provide a basis for decision making. These principles are described using natural language and are not machine-interpretable. The validation of these principles in models is a complex and time-consuming task. The goal of this research is to help humans in this review. Annotating enterprise architecture models with an enterprise ontology and representing architecture principles as rules, it is possible to automatically check architecture principles. The proposed approach is to combine both the domain knowledge and the modeling language knowledge to reason about models, allowing the automatic check of architecture principles.

    Hybrid conversational AI for intelligent tutoring systems
    (Sun SITE, Informatik V, RWTH Aachen, 2021) Pande, Charuta; Witschel, Hans Friedrich; Martin, Andreas; Montecchiari, Devid; Martin, Andreas; Hinkelmann, Knut; Fill, Hans-Georg; Gerber, Aurona; Lenat, Dough; Stolle, Reinhard; Harmelen, Frank van [in: Proceedings of the AAAI 2021 Spring Symposium on Combining Machine Learning and Knowledge Engineering (AAAI-MAKE 2021)]
    We present an approach to improve individual and self-regulated learning in group assignments. We focus on supporting individual reflection by providing feedback through a conversational system. Our approach leverages machine learning techniques to recognize concepts in student utterances and combines them with knowledge representation to infer the student’s understanding of an assignment’s cognitive requirements. The conversational agent conducts end-to-end conversations with the students and prompts them to reflect and improve their understanding of an assignment. The conversational agent not only triggers reflection but also encourages explanations for partial solutions.

    Agile visualization in design thinking
    (Springer, 2020) Laurenzi, Emanuele; Hinkelmann, Knut; Montecchiari, Devid; Goel, Mini; Dornberger, Rolf [in: New trends in business information systems and technology]
    This chapter presents an agile visualization approach that supports one of the most widespread innovation processes: Design Thinking. The approach integrates the pre-defined graphical elements of SAP Scenes to sketch digital scenes for storyboards. Unforeseen scenarios can be created by accommodating new graphical elements and related domain-specific aspects on-the-fly. This fosters problem understanding and ideation, which otherwise would be hindered by the lack of elements. The symbolic artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach ensures the machineinterpretability of the sketched scenes. In turn, the plausibility check of the scenes is automated to help designers creating meaningful storyboards. The plausibility check includes the use of a domain ontology, which is supplied with semantic constraints. The approach is implemented in the prototype AOAME4Scenes, which is used for evaluation.

    Ontology-based visualization for business model design
    (Springer, 2020) Peter, Marco; Montecchiari, Devid; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gatziu Grivas, Stella; Grabis, Jānis; Bork, Dominik [in: The Practice of Enterprise Modeling. 13th IFIP Working Conference, PoEM 2020, Riga, Latvia, November 25-27, 2020. Proceedings]
    The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of combining visualization and reasoning for business model design by combining the machine-interpretability of ontologies with a further development of the widely accepted business modeling tool, the Business Model Canvas (BMC). Since ontologies are a machine-interpretable representation of enterprise knowledge and thus, not very adequate for human interpretation, we present a tool that combines the graphical and human interpretable representation of BMC with a business model ontology. The tool connects a business model with reusable data and interoperability to other intelligent business information systems so that additional functionalities are made possible, such as a comparison between business models. This research follows the design science strategy with a qualitative approach by applying literature research, expert interviews, and desk research. The developed AOAME4BMC tool consists of the frontend, a graphical web-based representation of an enhanced BMC, a web service for the data exchange with the backend, and a speci c ontology for the machine-interpretable representation of a business model. The results suggest that the developed tool AOAME4BMC supports the suitability of an ontology-based representation for business model design.

    ArchiMEO: A standardized enterprise ontology based on the ArchiMate conceptual model
    (2020) Hinkelmann, Knut; Laurenzi, Emanuele; Martin, Andreas; Montecchiari, Devid; Spahic, Maja; Thönssen, Barbara; Hammoudi, Slimane; Ferreira Pires, Luis; Selić, Bran [in: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development]
    Many enterprises face the increasing challenge of sharing and exchanging data from multiple heterogeneous sources. Enterprise Ontologies can be used to effectively address such challenge. In this paper, we present an Enterprise Ontology called ArchiMEO, which is based on an ontological representation of the ArchiMate standard for modeling Enterprise Architectures. ArchiMEO has been extended to cover various application domains such as supply risk management, experience management, workplace learning and business process as a service. Such extensions have successfully proven that our Enterprise Ontology is beneficial for enterprise applications integration purposes.

    Towards an assistive and pattern learning-driven process modeling approach
    (2019) Laurenzi, Emanuele; Hinkelmann, Knut; Jüngling, Stephan; Montecchiari, Devid; Pande, Charuta; Martin, Andreas; Martin, Andreas; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, Aurona; Lenat, Doug; van Harmelen, Frank; Clark, Peter [in: Proceedings of the AAAI 2019 Spring Symposium on Combining Machine Learning with Knowledge Engineering (AAAI-MAKE 2019)]
    The practice of business process modeling not only requires modeling expertise but also significant domain expertise. Bringing the latter into an early stage of modeling contributes to design models that appropriately capture an underlying reality. For this, modeling experts and domain experts need to intensively cooperate, especially when the former are not experienced within the domain they are modeling. This results in a time-consuming and demanding engineering effort. To address this challenge, we propose a process modeling approach that assists domain experts in the creation and adaptation of process models. To get an appropriate assistance, the approach is driven by semantic patterns and learning. Semantic patterns are domain-specific and consist of process model fragments (or end-to-end process models), which are continuously learned from feedback from domain as well as process modeling experts. This enables to incorporate good practices of process modeling into the semantic patterns. To this end, both machine-learning and knowledge engineering techniques are employed, which allow the semantic patterns to adapt over time and thus to keep up with the evolution of process modeling in the different business domains.
