Keynote : Modeling & Simulation Based Framework for Interoperability Driven Enterprise Design
Résumé
Enterprise businesses are more than ever challenged by competitors that frequently refine and tailor their offers to clients. However, in this context, enterprise information systems (EIS) EISs reaches a limit in collaborative environments because enterprises management methods diverge and EISs are mainly inflexible resource packages that are not built with an interoperability objective. Consequently, we need to make EISs interoperable in order to achieve the needed gains competitiveness and performance. This keynote can be summarized as follows: (1) it will try to relate existing work and it examines barriers that, at the moment, are preventing further improvements due to current methodological and technological limits, and (2) it will propose a conceptual framework and five challenges that model based approaches must overcome to achieve interoperability between EIS in the near and long term. (3) It will draw out how the use of simulation, distributed simulation and co-simulation can support the model based approaches in the journey from concepts to technical deployment. In detail, it will focus on how Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard could be an interesting solution for defining HLA execution scenario within a Model Driven Architecture approach. Specifically, how to support the modeling phase of the HLA execution process in order to explicitly design the desired steps of orchestration between distributed HLA federates through the interpretation of a business process diagram.
