An ontology-based i* goal-oriented referential integrity model in systems of systems context (2019)
Journal Article

System of Systems (SoS) results from the integration of a set of independent Constituent Systems (CS) that could be socio or technical, in order to offer unique functionalities. SoS is largely driven by stakeholders’ needs and goals taking into consi... Read More about An ontology-based i* goal-oriented referential integrity model in systems of systems context.

Aligning systems of systems engineering with goal-oriented approaches using the i star framework (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Systems of Systems (SoS) are complex systems that result from the integration of a set of independent constituent systems - which are complex systems themselves - in order to achieve new functionalities and goals. The emerging interdisciplinary area... Read More about Aligning systems of systems engineering with goal-oriented approaches using the i star framework.

Comparative process architectures in two higher education institutions (2013)
Journal Article

Enterprises are increasingly organising their activities and IT support around key business processes. These processes and their interrelationships may be identified in a process architecture. Ould (2005) claims that the Riva method identifies the pr... Read More about Comparative process architectures in two higher education institutions.

Process architectures in higher education (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We have used the business process modelling method ‘Riva’ to model processes of programme management in two UK universities. The method depends on the identification of ‘essential business entities’ as the basis for defining a process architecture.... Read More about Process architectures in higher education.

Reusable process architectures and process models: an experience report from higher education (2009)
Journal Article

We apply a particular process architecture development method, Riva, to a study and comparison of specimen processes in two UK higher education institutions. We developed an outline process architecture for one common area of activity (development an...

A framework for classifying and evaluating process architecture methods (2005)
Journal Article

Piecemeal identification, development, and support of an organisation's processes may lead to problems: first, it may be difficult to identify which processes should be supported, and, second, it is unlikely that processes developed piecemeal will ei...
