Synopses & Reviews
Automating Business Modelling illustrates how to use informal models to their full potential as well as various Al techniques. It enhances the use of enterprise models as an effective communication medium between business and technical personnel, promotes understanding of semantics that are deeply embedded in a model, and increases the quality of the resulting models. It therefore develops the blueprint of the tobe developed business system. As a result, it helps connect the often-informal world of higher-level business requirements analysis to the more formal world of software system specification.
Synopsis
Enterprise Modelling (EM) methods are frequently used by entrepreneurs as an analysis tool for describing and redesigning their businesses. The resulting product, an enterprise model, is commonly used as a blueprint for reconstructing organizations and such effort is often a part of business process re-engineering and improvement initiatives.
Automating Business Modelling describes different techniques of providing automated support for enterprise modelling methods and introduces universally used approaches. A running example of a business modelling method is included; providing a framework and detailed explanation as to how to construct automated support for modelling, allowing readers to follow the method to create similar support.
Suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduates of Business Studies, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, practitioners in the fields of Knowledge Management, Enterprise Modelling and Software Engineering, this book offers insight and know-how to both student and professional.

Synopsis
Enhances the use of enterprise models as an effective communication medium between business and technical personnel. Details the blue-print of the to-be developed business system.
