Multi-perspective Enterprise Modeling—Conceptual Foundation and Implementation with ADOxx

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter describes a method for multi-perspective enterprise modeling (MEMO) and a prototypical implementation of a selected part of the method with ADOxx, called MEMO4ADO. MEMO has been developed during a period of more than twenty years and is still a subject of ongoing research. MEMO includes a set of integrated domain-specific modeling languages to describe organizational action systems as well as information systems. MEMO4ADO implements a subset of MEMO languages specifically tailored for educational purposes. The chapter summarizes the background and evolution of MEMO, illustrates the implementation and functionalities of MEMO4ADO, and outlines future developments.
