Abstract

This paper aims to analyze and review the support of the different kinds of active structure assignment in enterprise modeling techniques and frameworks, including ArchiMate, DODAF, and ARIS. Since we believe that these frameworks will be used in the description of an Enterprise Architecture in tandem with the detailed description of business processes, we also discuss the support for active structure allocation in processes modeling techniques, including XPDL, UML Activity Diagrams and BPMN in our analysis. We briefly describe each of the approaches and discuss their expressiveness with respect to the relations between the active structure of an organization (described in terms of actors, roles, etc.) and the behavioral aspects of the organization (described in terms of processes, activities, functions, etc.).
