Domain-Specific Conceptual Modeling: Concepts, Methods and Adoxx Tools

This book demonstrates the significance of domain-specific conceptual modeling through new research and development approaches that are manifested in each of the chapters. They include novel modelling methods and tools that emphasize the recent results accomplished and their adequacy to assess specific aspects of a domain.

Each chapter offers detailed instructions on how to build models in a particular domain, such as product-service engineering, enterprise engineering, digital business ecosystems, and enterprise modelling and capability management. All chapters are enriched with case studies, related information, and tool implementations. The tools are based on the ADOxx metamodelling platform and are provided free of charge via OMiLAB. Furthermore, the book emphasizes possible future developments and potential research directions.

The collection of works presented here will benefit experts and practitioners from academia and industry alike, including members of the conceptual modeling community as well as lecturers and students.

本書通過新的研究和開發方法展示了領域特定概念建模的重要性，這些方法在每個章節中都有體現。它們包括強調最近取得的成果及其評估特定領域特定方面的適用性的新型建模方法和工具。

每個章節都提供了在特定領域（如產品服務工程、企業工程、數字商業生態系統和企業建模與能力管理）中建立模型的詳細指導。所有章節都豐富了案例研究、相關信息和工具實施。這些工具基於ADOxx元建模平台，並通過OMiLAB免費提供。此外，本書強調了可能的未來發展和潛在的研究方向。

這裡呈現的作品集將使學術界和工業界的專家和從業人員受益，包括概念建模社區的成員以及講師和學生。

Dimitris Karagiannis is Full Professor for Business Informatics at the University of Vienna since 1993, leading the Research Group Knowledge Engineering. His research interests include meta-modelling, knowledge engineering, business process management, enterprise architecture management, and artificial intelligence. The industrial application of his meta-modelling research was demonstrated within the BOC Group, a European software- and consulting company. In parallel scientific applications of his research are used in the Digital Innovation Environment of OMiLAB, an active global community for conceptual modelling that benefits from open artefacts.

Moonkun Lee is Full Professor for Computer Science and Engineering at Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) in the Republic of Korea since 1996. His main research interests are software round-trip engineering, distributed real-time systems, formal methods, ontology, and behavior engineering. Currently he focuses on the specification, analysis, verification, and the implementation of cyber-physical systems for smart cities and industry applications.

Knut Hinkelmann is Professor for Information Systems and Head of the Master of Science in Business Information Systems at the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, where he also is head of the research group Intelligent Information Systems. He is also Managing Director of OMiLAB since 2020. His research interests are Enterprise Modeling and Artificial Intelligence.

Wilfrid Utz is one of the Managing Directors of OMiLAB, the non-profit organisation supporting the conceptual modelling community organized around emerging topics with respect to domain-specific conceptual modelling. He completed his PhD thesis in 2020 at the University of Vienna in the field of meta-model design and knowledge representation using conceptual structures and has been involved in numerous international research and innovation projects.

Dimitris Karagiannis自1993年起擔任維也納大學商業資訊學的全職教授，並領導知識工程研究小組。他的研究興趣包括元模型、知識工程、業務流程管理、企業架構管理和人工智能。他的元模型研究在歐洲軟體和諮詢公司BOC Group中得到了工業應用的證明。同時，他的研究在OMiLAB的數字創新環境中得到了科學應用，OMiLAB是一個從開放藝術品中受益的概念建模的全球社區。

Moonkun Lee自1996年起擔任韓國全北國立大學（JBNU）計算機科學與工程的全職教授。他的主要研究興趣包括軟體循環工程、分佈式實時系統、形式方法、本體論和行為工程。目前，他專注於智慧城市和工業應用的智能物理系統的規範、分析、驗證和實施。

Knut Hinkelmann是瑞士西北應用科學和藝術大學（FHNW）的資訊系統教授，並擔任商業資訊系統碩士課程的負責人，同時也是智能信息系統研究小組的負責人。自2020年起，他還擔任OMiLAB的總經理。他的研究興趣包括企業建模和人工智能。

Wilfrid Utz是OMiLAB的董事總經理之一，OMiLAB是一個非營利組織，支持圍繞特定領域概念建模的社區組織。他在2020年在維也納大學完成了他的博士論文，研究領域是使用概念結構進行元模型設計和知識表示，並參與了許多國際研究和創新項目。
