“…The kernel language is simple and can be implemented as demonstrated by the XMF and XModeler toolkit that is capable of both describing and reasoning about itself. The toolkit was reported as a leading technology for Software Engineering (Helsen et al 2008) and has been used for a variety of applications including modelling languages for aerospace applications, telecoms applications (Achilleos et al 2007), and enterprise modelling languages and methods (Johanndeiter et al 2013;Frank 2014Frank , 2019.…”

Meta-modelling is a technique that facilitates the construction of new languages to be used in system development. Although meta-modelling is supported by a number of tools and technologies, notably the Meta Object Facility from the OMG, there is no widely accepted precise basis for meta-modelling that can be used to develop and study language-based approaches to system development. Recent advances in meta-modelling have proposed several approaches to mixing types and instances, and allowing constraints to hold over multiple levels. This article proposes a collection of key characteristic features that are used to define a foundational self-contained unifying metalanguage that is evaluated through several examples.

“…Finally, the model is reviewed and design alternatives revisited, allowing earlier phases to be repeated. Multi-level modelling can be applied in the context of digital business transformation where the need for methods is particularly acute (Frank 2019). This leads to a requirement for method engineering which is traditionally a meta-modelling activity.…”

“…Dazu gehören die Sorge hinsichtlich einer "Krise" oder zumindest "latenten Krise" 11 von Information Systems (Research) und Wirtschaftsinformatik, die Kritik an einer "Trivialisierung von Forschungsergebnissen" 12 im Kontext empirischer Forschung, die Vorbehalte gegenüber einem "theory fetish" mit Data" und "Machine Learning" (S. 18 ff. ): insgesamt betrachtet, ein außerordentlich "spannender" Beitrag, dem die Verfasser eine möglichst große Resonanz vor allem auch im Bereich der Betriebswirtschaftslehre wünschen); Frank (2019) und Wirtschaftsinformatik als wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen sowie ihrer philosophischen [insbesondere erkenntnistheoretischen] und methodologischen Grundlagen); Frank (2006a), S. 133 ff. ; , S. 278 ff.…”

Informing Possible Future Worlds

For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community.Informing Possible Future Worlds is the Festschrift in honour of Ulrich Frank on the occasion of his 65 th birthday. The Festschrift includes twenty-three essays written by friends, colleagues, and fellow researchers in recognition of Ulrich's contributions to Wirtschaftsinformatik research and the scientific community. Each essay is a personal and unique 'birthday present' to Ulrich Frank written exclusively for the Festschrift. From original research contributions to more personal reflections, the essays cover a wide range of topics, themes, and fields -just like Ulrich Frank's contributions.For more than 35 years, Ulrich Frank has shaped and promoted Wirtschaftsinformatik as a scientific discipline through his thoughtful and sophisticated research contributions and his numerous contributions to the scientific community. He has initiated, engaged in and promoted scientific discourse nationally and internationally, inspired, encouraged and guided young researchers, and played an outstanding part in the Wirtschaftsinformatik community.Starting with his Diplomarbeit in 1982 on 'Die Problematisierung von Zielbildungsprozessen in Unternehmungen durch die Betriebswirtschaftslehre unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Verhältnisses von Wissenschaft und Praxis' (supervised by Erwin Grochla at the Universität zu Köln), Ulrich has cultivated his interest not only in Betriebswirtschaftslehre and Wirtschaftsinformatik, Software Engineering and Conceptual Modelling, but also in the Philosophy of Science, the Philosophy of Language, the Sociology of Knowledge and in Organisational Sociology. For his Diplomarbeit, he read Albert, Feyerabend, Mittelstrass, and Popper, among others, and reflected on organisational goal-setting ('Zielbildungsprozesse') from multiple, complementary perspectives -a lifelong leitmotiv he later incorporated in his Multi-Perspective Enterprise Modelling (MEMO) method.An avid reader and bibliophile, Ulrich must have learned about Niklas Luhmann, the German sociologist working at Universität Bielefeld, Ulrich's hometown, likely in his teens, and started his own personal discourse with Luhmann's writings, and from there on expanded his readings. At about the same time, Ulrich started to program computers, developed and sold his first software application, and, most importantly, discovered Smalltalk, the programming language created by Alan Kay and others at Xerox PARC's Learning Research Group -which has strongly influenced him to this day and which he has admired ever since.Following his discovery of Smalltalk, he took a deep dive into Object-Oriented Programming and Object-Oriented Modelling that took him to take a minor in Angewandte Informatik (Applied Informatics) at the Universität zu Köln during his graduate studies.vii His doctoral research with Alfred Kieser at Universität Mannheim ...
