Current modeling of enterprise and information systems is based on diverse methods such as function-orientation, data-orientation, process-orientation object-orientation, and object/processorientation. Other emerging modeling methods include the ontology capture method and Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). These approaches have been criticized for lack of execution environment into which events that cause change could be incorporated. Such a topic is important in the study of dynamic behavior of systems for both analysis and control. This paper further develops a new approach oriented toward things that flow. Specifically, the paper concentrates on the study of process specification in analysis and design of enterprise/system architectures in order to most effectively facilitate their control. Here we produce a single, integrated diagrammatic representation that uniformly incorporates structural and behavioral aspects into an underlying conceptual description. The viability of the model is demonstrated by applying it to a case study of services provided by an existing organizational unit.
