Abstract

Enterprise modeling has a history of related research that has advanced high-level concepts that do not map well to implementation-oriented models like UML. Here acknowledging that the enterprise and business context impacts implementation requirements for adaptive services, we introduce the notation for representing the Adaptive Complex Enterprises through the Requirements-Execution-Delivery interaction or primitive. This simple primitive allows complex models to be developed that treats business processes at all levels and underlying data processing systems as well as human processing systems in a holistic fashion. In this paper we introduce the ontology underlying the Requirements-Execution-Delivery interactions, thus allowing Requirements-Execution-Delivery to be precisely specified as a single primitive for modeling, execution, and monitoring the behavior of Adaptive Complex Enterprises. We show how this takes the concepts developed in artificial intelligence and applies it into business activity monitoring.
