The practice of enterprise modeling : 10th IFIP WG 8.1. Working Conference, PoEM 2017, Leuven, Belgium, November 22-24, 2017, Proceedings

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 10th IFIP WG 8.1 Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling held in November 2017 in Leuven, Belgium. The conference was created by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 8.1 to offer a forum for knowledge transfer and experience sharing between the academic and practitioner communities. The 20 full papers and 4 short papers accepted were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. They include research results, practitioner/experience reports and work-in-progress papers and were presented in 8 sessions covering diverse topics related to enterprise modelling and its application in practice

Evolution Models for Information Systems Evolution Steering

Part 1: Regular PapersInternational audienceSustainability of enterprise Information Systems (ISs) largely depends on the quality of their evolution process and the ability of the IS evolution steering officers to deal with complex IS evolution situations. Inspired by Olivé [1] who promotes conceptual schema-centric IS development, we argue that conceptual models should also be the centre of IS evolution steering. For this purpose we have developed a conceptual framework for IS evolution steering that contains several interrelated models. In this paper we present a part of this framework dedicated to the operationalization of IS evolution – the evolution metamodel. This metamodel is composed of two interrelated views, namely structural and lifecycle, that allow to define respectively the structure of a particular IS evolution and its behaviour at different levels of granularity
