“…Vehicle Using Turning ON the engine creates power available to be used (9) that is coordinated with the brakes in moving the car at different levels: increasing power (10) or decreasing it (11). Also, turning ON the brake system (8) provides the ability to create (12) and either increase (13) or decrease (14) friction to control the vehicle's momentum, Under this condition, the driver usually pushes the brake pedal (15) while putting the gear in drive (16).…”

Two 1 state-of-the-art languages being used in the field of integrated modeling and management of systems are OMG Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and Object-Process Methodology (OPM). SysML is based on UML 2, a de-facto standard in software engineering. OPM is chartered as ISO/PAS 19450 for system and process modeling. Aspects of these two diverse modeling methodologies have been comparatively analyzed and examined. This paper points to yet another approach that takes a methodology oriented to flow of things to provide an underlying conceptual model on which to construct a fundamental representation of the information or physical system. Adopting a similar analysis technique of comparing SysML and OPM, we examine features of a flow of things orientation based on a concrete sample problem. To demonstrate the feasibility of this methodology in a real environment, we present a case study of an actual IT department of a government ministry, and the results point to the viability of the approach as a foundation for modeling and management of systems.

“…For the sake of a self-contained paper, section 2 briefly describes the conceptual model, called the Flowthing Model (FM), on which the flow-based representation is built. FM has been utilized in many applications [11][12][13]. Section 3 introduces a complete example that illustrates the static and dynamic aspects of the model.…”

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is a broad term for software that provides a way to view company-owned assets holistically, where the goal is to control and proactively optimize operations for quality and efficiency. According to some published literature, knowledge is currently lacking regarding how to model EAM processes so they can be made ready for computerized deployment. This paper applies a new modeling technique built on systems of things that flow, to model EAM processes systematically. This flow-based modeling method is applied to a case study in a real enterprise that uses IBM Maximo. The resulting model points in a promising direction for EAM.

Petri nets are an established graphical formalism for modeling and analyzing the behavior of systems. An important consideration of the value of Petri nets is their use in describing both the syntax and semantics of modeling formalisms. Describing a modeling notation in terms of a formal technique such as Petri nets provides a way to minimize ambiguity. Accordingly, it is imperative to develop a deep and diverse understanding of Petri nets. This paper is directed toward a new, but preliminary, exploration of the semantics of such an important tool. Specifically, the concern in this paper is with the semantics of Petri nets interpreted in a modeling language based on the notion of machines of "things that flow." The semantics of several Petri net diagrams are analyzed in terms of "flow of things." The results point to the viability of the approach for exploring the underlying assumptions of Petri nets.
