Abstract
The workgroup focused on key barriers to enterprise modeling for process and system optimization. Overcoming these long-lived barriers requires some new approaches and the workgroup settled on the introduction of ontologies. Several problems and new approaches were explored. Some reasoned speculations resulted, together with proposals for testing their validity. The problems concerned lowering the cost of building and changing models; building and using component libraries; linking to non-process (like data and product) models; and furthering of the agent notions of prior workshops.
