DE2M: An environment for developing distributed and executable enterprise models

Abstract

The distributed and executable enterprise models are one of the most important sources of an organization's information requirements where the business expert has not only an appropriate representation of the organization in terms of processes, information flows and user roles, but also a simulation capability for the interpretation of the dynamic behavior. We present an environment to support the development of such a model. It uses a MDA approach to acquire the simulation model from conceptual model. The simulation model can run both distributed and local environment.
