“…As a way of organizing these multiple typologies, FETTKE et al (2005) propose the structure shown in Figure 1, below. This is intended to lay a common foundation for cataloging existing reference models, but also performs the function of distinguishing and localizing the particular features of the various types of reference model.…”

“…The choice of an appropriate reference model must consider issues such as availability, domain of application, potentials and limitations (FETTKE et al, 2005). In addition, the choice of models must weigh the benefits that models with different views bring to the analysis of the problem against the difficulty of managing them.…”

In view of the growing supply of reference models in various domains and in different formats, and the potential benefits to organizations using them, this article proposes to (1) present the theoretical background to the subject, and (2) situate and discuss issues associated with integrating such references. Adopting multiple reference models poses practical problems for organizations as regards where to look for the models, which to adopt, and once selected, how to ensure the references are consistent with each other and suited to the organization's particular features. As a possible avenue to solutions, this text describes the conception of an organization-specific reference model. The model proposed can be constructed by way of an articulated solution based on one or more reference models, which were selected thematically, subjected to adjustments for coherence and interrelationship, matched against the organizational culture, and explicitly formulated.

“…At present process reference models are represented in various modeling languages and standard notations [10]. Prerequisites for a process reference model notation is that it is a widely accepted standard notation that can capture all the necessary information and that is preferably easily understood by modelers [27].…”

There are several sources that indicate a remarkable increase in the adoption of open source software (OSS) into the technology infrastructure of organizations. In fact, the number of medium to large organizations without some OSS installations, is surprisingly low. This move to open source (OS), as well as the obvious advantages thereof, have motivated the CSIR of South Africa to investigate the adoption of OSS across the institution for all aspects of its operations. In launching this endeavor, it became apparent that there are very limited resources available, locally or internationally, that documented process related information about organizational OS migrations. This lack of information provides the motivation for this research that investigates the use of process reference models to capture the process related information for an organizationwide migration from proprietary software to OSS. In order to develop the necessary process reference models, the specific process models for the CSIR OS migration were captured, and, using a repeatable method based on reference model criteria, the generic process reference models for an organizational OS migration were extracted and documented. It is our firm belief that these process reference models would provide a baseline for the processes needed when any organization considers open source adoption or organization-wide OS migration. KeywordsProcess reference models, re-use of business process models, organizational open source migration.

“…Thus, they can be regarded as a reference model for processes executable in SAP. Motivated by the "Design by Reuse" paradigm, reference models simplify the process model design by providing repositories of generally valid and potentially relevant models which can be used to accelerate the modeling process [9,15,16,22,33].…”
