TL;DR: MMS is being coupled with the Power Reservoir System Model (PRSYM) to provide a database-centered decision support system for making complex operational decisions on multipurpose reservoir systems and watersheds.
Abstract: The Modular Modeling System (MMS) is an integrated system of computer software that is being developed to provide the research and operational framework needed to support development, testing, and evaluation of physical-process algorithms, and to facilitate integration of user-selected sets of algorithms into operational physical-process models. MMS uses a module library that contains compatible modules for simulating a variety of water, energy, and biogeochemical processes. A model is created by selectively linking modules from the library using MMS model-building tools. A geographic information system (GIS) interface also is being developed for MMS to support a variety of GIS tools for use in characterizing and parameterizing topographic, hydrologic, and ecosystem features, visualizing spatially and temporally distributed model parameters and variables, and analyzing and validating model results. MMS is being coupled with the Power Reservoir System Model (PRSYM) to provide a database-centered decision support system for making complex operational decisions on multipurpose reservoir systems and watersheds. The U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation are working collaboratively on a project titled the Watershed Modeling Systems Initiative to develop and apply the coupled MMS — PRSYM models to the San Juan River basin in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah.

TL;DR: It is argued that the design process should start with creating a business model, which is then translated to an architecture to ensure fitness for market of the future system, and a mapping from Osterwalder's business modeling canvas and ontology to the enterprise architecture modeling standard ArchiMate is proposed.
Abstract: Many IT projects fail to succeed in the market, as they start purely from technology. Much effort is therefore wasted, while the potential benefits are not realized. We argue that the design process should start with creating a business model, which is then translated to an architecture to ensure fitness for market of the future system. Therefore, we propose a mapping from Osterwalder's business modeling canvas and ontology to the enterprise architecture modeling standard ArchiMate, which makes the above translation possible and represents a formal basis for business modeling in ArchiMate. A case study illustrates the mapping between the two languages.

TL;DR: This paper proposes an extension of Event-driven Process Chains, called the aggregate EPC (aEPC), which can be used to describe a set of similar processes with a single model, by doing so, the number of process models that must be managed can be decreased.
Abstract: Contemporary organizations invest much efforts in creating models of their business processes. This raises the issue of how to deal with large sets of process models that become available over time. This paper proposes an extension of Event-driven Process Chains, called the aggregate EPC (aEPC), which can be used to describe a set of similar processes with a single model. By doing so, the number of process models that must be managed can be decreased. But at the same time, the process logic for each specific element of the set over which aggregation takes place can still be distinguished. The presented approach is supported as an add-on to the ARIS modeling tool box. To show the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach, we discuss its practical application in the context of a large financial organization.
