Extending model driven engineering aspects to business engineering domain: a model driven business engineering approach

The business world nowadays is constantly on the lookout to adopt business frameworks which contribute in significant cost and resource usage efficiencies. Frameworks such as PRINCE2® and ITIL® are key players in the project management and service management arena. The definitions of models for these frameworks are high-level indicating a lack of formal semantics which can readily result in ambiguity between modeling solutions. Manual interventions by humans to produce models out of such frameworks are error prone. MDA has been at the forefront of research in an attempt to resolve issues faced by the software development community. The proposition by the authors is the transfer of practices applied within the MDA domain to that of business-oriented frameworks and more specifically project management in order to improve corporate decision making.
