Abstract
"Automating Business Modelling describes different techniques of providing automated support for enterprise modelling methods and introduces universally used approaches. A running example of a business modelling method is included, providing a framework and detailed explanation as to how to construct automated support for modelling and allowing readers to follow the method to create similar support of their own." "Suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduates of Business Studies, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, as well as practitioners in the fields of Knowledge Management, Enterprise Modelling and Software Engineering, this book offers insight and know how to both student and professional."--BOOK JACKET.
