“…This is due to the fact that such models are able to make facts and knowledge explicit so that they can be shared by users and different enterprise applications in order to improve enterprise performance [3,7,8]. One of the tasks that has still to be solved in this domain is how to achieve dynamic, interactive enterprise models that are capable of capturing enterprise knowledge and making it explicit [21].…”

Knowledge representation is a multidisciplinary subject that needs to apply theories and techniques from logic, ontology and computation. There are a great number of languages able to represent knowledge, among them UML can be considered a suitable language for modelling knowledge. It could be included within the category of visual languages for knowledge representation.On the other hand, numerous efforts are being carried out in the context of Enterprise Modelling to improve the capacity of enterprise models for externalising enterprise knowledge. The Proposal presented in this paper combines both approaches, UML and Enterprise Modelling, in order to make possible Enterprise Knowledge Modelling using UML. It shows a summary of this Proposal describing its principles, the main steps of its development and an example of one of the UML Profiles implemented with the objective of modelling knowledge.

“…The infrastructure, methodology, case-study solutions, and the EXTERNAL project itself are developed in parallel. The layered infrastructure (Lillehagen, 2002a) will support and implement the methodology, provide project management services, and implement work process driven solutions from re-composable knowledge and software. Version 1.0 of the infrastructure is an integration of the enterprise and process modelling applications brought into the EXTERNAL project by the partners and further extended there.…”

“…The next version of the infrastructure will be released towards in the beginning of 2002, and we are currently collecting experiences from the case studies as input to further developments. First experiences are reported in (Lillehagen, 2002b), where parts of a quasi-experimental investigation are reported. This paper is focusing specifically on the results reported on communication, learning and trust in an extended enterprise being supported by our model-based infrastructure.…”

We present in this paper a novel approach for integrating enterprise modelling and knowledge management in dynamic networked organisations. The approach is based on the notion of active knowledge models (AKM™). An AKM is a visual model of enterprise aspects that can be viewed, traversed, analysed, simulated, adapted and executed by industrial users. To integrate particular process technologies from the enterprise perspective of generic business process types to the individual work tasks at the instance level, our work is based on our process modelling reference model. It identifies 4 layers of process knowledge representation, from general process logic to actual, situated work performance. Process modelling occurs at several levels concurrently, and may start at any level. Learning within and between levels is supported using a framework for process knowledge management.

“…We should also look at ways in which the total system of software and humans can solve problems interactively. Lillehagen et al (2002) discuss the extension of enterprise modeling to active knowledge models (AKM) with enhanced visualization support. Greenwood et al (1995) argue that active models can enable systems to meet many business needs that current technologies fail to solve.…”

This chapter presents a novel approach to the development, integration, and operation of virtual enterprises (VEs). The approach is based on the idea of interactive models. An interactive model is a visual model of enterprise aspects that can be viewed, traversed, analyzed, simulated, adapted, and executed by the participants of the VE. The approach has been developed in several research projects, where experiences from industrial case studies are used as a basis for validation and further enhancement. A major result of this work is the model-driven infrastructure that integrates and supports VEs. The main innovative contributions of this infrastructure include concurrent modelling, metamodelling, management and performance of work, integrated support for ad hoc and structured processes, and customizable model- and process-driven integration.
