Department of Computer Science Business Information Systems The 7th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling3 Model Interchange between ARIS and Eclipse EMF What is ARIS? Architecture of integrated Informationsystems is a reference architecture for enterprise modeling. ARIS House structures business processes in  five views: organization, data, control, function, and output  and three abstraction levels: requirements, design, and implementation. ARIS provides modeling languages for every view and every level.

Department of Computer Science Business Information Systems The 7th OOPSLA Workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling4 Model Interchange between ARIS and Eclipse EMF What is ARIS? ARIS is supported by a set of tools: ARIS SOA Architect, ARIS Business Architect or ARIS Simulation.

ConnectionType → EClass with two EReferences Problem:  A connection type in ARIS has n source objects types and m target objects types.  An EReference in Ecore can only point to one EClass. Solution:  Creation of n x m EClasses {OT1, OT2, OT3} CT0{OT4, OT5, OT6}
