Objectives


The participants of the summer school will get an overview of approaches to enterprise modelling. Based on one particular method, they will learn how to develop and use enterprise models for different purposes – including managerial analyses and software development. Also, they will get to know a tool environment for enterprise modelling. Finally, they will be presented with an approach to method engineering that is based on languages for enterprise modelling.

Prerequisites


Participating students should have attended introductory courses to Information Systems or Computer Science, respectively. Their English should be good enough to actively take part in technical discussions.
