Abstract
Conceptual modeling is an essential part of enterprise engineering activity. Unfortunately, enterprise modeling methods are projecting interactive, behavioral and structural dimensions of conceptualizations into totally different diagram types. If static and dynamic aspects are analyzed separately, they are more difficult to visualize and to understand for stakeholders. Moreover, in the traditional approaches, there is a paradigmatic mismatch among different enterprise architecture modeling dimensions. Analysis of interplay among interactions, state changes and object creation/termination effects is necessary for understanding integrity problems of conceptualizations. The goal of this paper is to present a modeling approach for semantic integration of static and dynamic views of conceptual models. The presented modeling method can be used for separation of crosscutting concerns of computation neutral specifications.
