    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.

    Ontology-based metamodeling
    (Springer, 2018) Hinkelmann, Knut; Laurenzi, Emanuele; Martin, Andreas; Thönssen, Barbara; Dornberger, Rolf [in: Business information systems and technology 4.0. New trends in the age of digital change]
    Decision makers use models to understand and analyze a situation, to compare alternatives and to find solutions. Additionally, there are systems that support decision makers through data analysis, calculation or simulation. Typically, modeling languages for humans and machine are different from each other. While humans prefer graphical or textual models, machine-interpretable models have to be represented in a formal language. This chapter describes an approach to modeling that is both cognitively adequate for humans and processable by machines. In addition, the approach supports the creation and adaptation of domain-specific modeling languages. A metamodel which is represented as a formal ontology determines the semantics of the modeling language. To create a graphical modeling language, a graphical notation can be added for each class of the ontology. Every time a new modeling element is created during modeling, an instance for the corresponding class is created in the ontology. Thus, models for humans and machines are based on the same internal representation.

    A viewpoint-based case-based reasoning approach utilising an enterprise architecture ontology for experience management
    (Taylor & Francis, 28.03.2016) Martin, Andreas; Emmenegger, Sandro; Hinkelmann, Knut; Thönssen, Barbara [in: Enterprise Information Systems]
    The accessibility of project knowledge obtained from experiences is an important and crucial issue in enterprises. This information need about project knowledge can be different from one person to another depending on the different roles he or she has. Therefore, a new ontology-based case-based reasoning (OBCBR) approach that utilises an enterprise ontology is introduced in this article to improve the accessibility of this project knowledge. Utilising an enterprise ontology improves the case-based reasoning (CBR) system through the systematic inclusion of enterprise-specific knowledge. This enterprise-specific knowledge is captured using the overall structure given by the enterprise ontology named ArchiMEO, which is a partial ontological realisation of the enterprise architecture framework (EAF) ArchiMate. This ontological representation, containing historical cases and specific enterprise domain knowledge, is applied in a new OBCBR approach. To support the different information needs of different stakeholders, this OBCBR approach has been built in such a way that different views, viewpoints, concerns and stakeholders can be considered. This is realised using a case viewpoint model derived from the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 standard. The introduced approach was implemented as a demonstrator and evaluated using an application case that has been elicited from a business partner in the Swiss research project.

    Mining of Agile Business Processes
    (21.03.2011) Brander, Simon; Hinkelmann, Knut; Martin, Andreas; Thönssen, Barbara [in: Proceedings of the AAAI 2011 Spring Symposium]
    Organizational agility is a key challenge in today's business world. The Knowledge-Intensive Service Support approach tackles agility by combining process modeling and business rules. In the paper at hand, we present five approaches of process mining that could further increase the agility of processes by improving an existing process model.

    Refining Process Models through the Analysis of Informal Work Practice
    (2011) Brander, Simon; Hinkelmann, Knut; Hu, Bo; Martin, Andreas; Riss, Uwe; Thönssen, Barbara; Witschel, Hans Friedrich
    The work presented in this paper explores the potential of leveraging the traces of informal work and collaboration in order to improve business processes over time. As process executions often differ from the original design due to individual preferences, skills or competencies and exceptions, we propose methods to analyse personal preferences of work, such as email communication and personal task execution in a task management application. Outcome of these methods is the detection of internal substructures (subtasks or branches) of activities on the one hand and the recommendation of resources to be used in activities on the other hand, leading to the improvement of business process models. Our first results show that even though human intervention is still required to operationalise these insights it is indeed possible to derive interesting and new insights about business processes from traces of informal work and infer suggestions for process model changes.
