Abstract
Over the last two decades modeling has become a widespread engineering tool. Whereas object-oriented modeling dominated the discussions in software and data engineering, process-oriented modeling became prominent in business process modeling. Experience gained with both of these principal modeling techniques made us aware of shortcomings with both of them in their respective application environment. For instance, object-oriented modeling is seen as having its virtues now in rather low programming-level elaboration about systems, systems of systems, and complex infrastructures. In addition, object-oriented modeling is not easily understood by non-ICT professionals. Therefore, new needs become visible for modeling complex systems uniformly across numerous granularity, abstraction and virtualization levels. This article will introduce some arguments that will underpin the need for a fresh look at modeling in software and data engineering.
