Abstract

Nowadays we face the Information Age and nothing evolves more rapid than the evolution of Information Sciences (IS). Related to building networks between different Communities of Interests (COI) with the help of Information Systems, the major challenge is sharing information and giving information at the right place, in the right time, to the right COI. Basis for successful implementations in information systems and further basis for decision support in artificial intelligence (AI) systems are information exchange diagrams. The present paper deals with an automatic extraction from information exchanges in operational process models. For this purpose, a modelling method was specific designed and used. Based on graph theory approaches the modelling method gives the possibility with a specially developed software to extract the information exchanges automatically and produce needed diagrams. Our approach is a new concept in the field of information systems and AI in the context of decision support systems. We present theoretical foundations and first experimental designs.
