    Evaluating DeepTelos for ConceptBase
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 15, Nr. 5, 2022) Manfred A. Jeusfeld
    The process modeling challenge provides an opportunity to compare various approaches to multi-level conceptual modeling. In particular, the challenge requests the definition of constructs for designing process models plus the facilities to create process models with these constructs, and to analyze the execution of such processes, all in one multi-level model. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of DeepTelos in solving the challenge. DeepTelos is an extension of the Telos modeling language that adds a small number of rules and constraints to the Telos axioms in order to facilitate multi-level modeling by means of so-called most-general instances, a variant of the powertype pattern. We present the technology behind DeepTelos and address the individual tasks of the process modeling challenge. A critical review discusses strengths and weaknesses exposed by the solution to the challenge.

    Integrating Declarative and Imperative Process Modeling Paradigms in the Age of Generative AI
    (Modellierung 2024 Satellite Events, 2024) Kampik, Timotheus; Berg, Gregor; Eickhoff, David
    This brief paper summarizes a talk introducing and discussing the notion of process atoms, small facts or queries, each describing an organizationally relevant property or constraint of a business process that cannot be further split without losing its business meaning. An example of a process atom is: “only if an order with a purchase amount greater than 10,000€ is requested, management approval has to take place afterwards” (more abstractly: “only if A then eventually B”). As process atoms are executable as queries on data and allow for dynamic contextualization across process and organizational scopes, they complement and augment traditional process models, such as BPMN diagrams, particularly in the age of data-driven process analysis and generative AI-created process content.

    Process Modeling in Decentralized Organizations Utilizing Blockchain Consensus
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 15, Nr. 13, 2020) Härer, Felix
    Blockchain technologies allow for multiple organizations, individuals, and software to become part of a decentralized network where they can reach consensus on the state of the system including all data stored. Due to the ability of reaching consensus even among untrusted actors, the idea of decentralized organizations has been proposed, where both the system components as well as their coordination are distributed. Given such a system of distributed actors, the problem of decentralized coordination for following common goals and planning becomes apparent. This paper addresses the decentralized coordination problem by means of a blockchain-based approach that uses conceptual modeling to reach consensus in decentralized organizations. With a unified view on the processes and instances of distributed actors, the aim is a decentralized planning and execution through models. For this purpose, an existing approach for decentralized process modeling and instance tracking is applied and extended with the possibility for actors to form consensus on an organizational level through blockchain transactions.

    Special Issue on Multi-Level Modeling Process Challenge
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 15, Nr. 4, 2022) João Paulo A. Almeida, Thomas Kühne
    Multi-level modeling is an extension of traditional two-level object-oriented modeling which over the years has spawned several related solution technologies. These technologies embody a variety of multi-level modeling approaches, with differences spanning the range between superficial detail to fundamental divergence. Understanding those differences, as well as the respective trade-offs of different technologies can be difficult when looking at each technology in isolation and/or when technology demonstration application scenarios are not standardized. This EMISAJ special issue invited solutions to a multi-level modeling process challenge (Almeida et al. 2021), in order to allow contributors to showcase advantages and discuss shortcomings of their technologies. The contributions featured in this special issue therefore do not only support a deeper understanding of each technology respectively, but in combination also support comparisons among technologies.

    What we know and what we do not know about DMN
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling: Vol. 13, Nr. 2, 2018) Figl, Kathrin; Mendling, Jan; Tokdemir, Gul; Vanthienen, Jan
    The recent Decision Model and Notation (DMN) establishes business decisions as first-class citizens of executable business processes. This research note has two objectives: first, to describe DMN's technical and theoretical foundations; second, to identify research directions for investigating DMN's potential benefits on a technological, individual and organizational level. To this end, we integrate perspectives from management science, cognitive theory and information systems research.
