Consistency Between e3-value Models and Activity Diagrams in a Multi-perspective Development Method

Multi-perspective approaches to analysis and design of businesses information systems are used to manage the complexity of the development process. A perspective contains a partial specification of the system from a particular stakeholder’s standpoint. This separation of concerns leads to potential inconsistencies between specifications from different perspectives, resulting in non-implementable systems. In this paper, a consistency relationship between the economic value and business processes perspectives of a design framework for networked businesses is proposed based on an equivalence of a common semantic model.
