1 Practice of Enterprise Modelling (PoEM) , Oslo, Norway Towards a Method for IT- (Research in Progress) Heiko Kattenstroth, David Heise Research Group Information Systems and Enterprise Modelling Institute for Computer Science and Business Information System (ICB) University of Duisburg Essen Germany Institut für Informatik und Wirtschaftsinformatik (ICB)
2 Motivation & Problem IT management a task of remarkable complexity Analysis and assessment of IT requires knowledge: about IT artifacts, heterogeneous IT infrastructures, ever changing technologies, manifold interdependencies and about the business! Hence, requires involving people with different professional backgrounds. Demand for approaches that reduce complexity, accomplish transparency, foster communication. 2
3 Motivation & Problem IT as key solution for IT? Introduction of the abstraction IT service represents outcome of the IT organisation serves to manage relationship between business and IT thus, acts as a reference for different stakeholders use of a service-abstraction in enterprise modelling promising promotes consistent support along the life cycle fosters adequate interpretation of (IT) services serves as foundation for software development increases reuse of IT services (e.g., as part of Portfolio ) General idea: Extend a method for multi-perspective enterprise modeling to address the requirements and challenges of IT service management by developing a domain-specific modelling language (DSML) 3
4 Conceptual Background: Enterprise Modelling Strategy Net Value Chain Organisational Chart enterprise models integrate models of the action system with models of information systems semi-formal modelling languages with graphical visualisation (often domain specific modelling languages (=DSML)) reducing complexity through purposeful abstraction Business Process overcoming language barriers by modelling concepts that correspond with the technical language of the domain joint design of information system and organisational action system IT Resource Diagram Object Model 4

6 Research Objectives of our Research in Progress Prepare the extension of a multi-perspective enterprise modeling method by concepts and heuristics to support IT service management: 1. Develop and illustrate idealised support for entire life cycle 2. Analyse and discuss first design alternatives Follows a specific design research process (FRANK 2010): 1. Identification and justification of domain-specific scenarios, requirements and of design goals 2. Reconstruction of key concepts of the domain 3. thereby: Iterative design of DSML and process models 4. (optional: development of a corresponding information system) 6 5. Initial evaluation by comparing the method s features against its requirements and design goals

14 Design of a DSML in support of IT Development of such a method requires reconstructing the key concepts of the ITSM domain Key domain concepts are IT service and (IT) service level agreement General conceptualisation in Enterprise Modelling (business context) Indicator Risk refers to occurs for Organisational Role 1..* responsible for IT name : String description : String lifecyclestatus : LifeCycleType supports has 1..* 1..* Business Process Functionality description : String Indicates reuse from existing modelling languages realizes satisfies Goal Requirement description : String priority : OrdinalScale 14
15 Design of a DSML in support of IT Development of such a method requires reconstructing the key concepts of the ITSM domain Key domain concepts are IT service and (IT) service level agreement However, various open research questions What is a an appropriate conceptualisations of IT service? Which relations between IT services need to be differentiated? Is it necessary to conceptualise functionalities a service? What is the right level of abstraction to describe (IT) services? How to model service level agreements (SLAs) in general and juridical aspects in particular? 15
16 Reconstruction of key domain concepts IT On the one hand, IT understood by all stakeholders... An IT service describes any (IT-related) outcome of the IT organisation that is used by a customer. IT name : String description : String lifecyclestatus : LifeCycleType belongs to 1..1 Category categoryname : String description : String 16
17 Reconstruction of key domain concepts IT on the other hand, common definition lacks a precise semantic, thus does not allow for elaborated analyses or transformations We identified at least three reasonable types of IT s outcome of an IT process (e.g., Help Desk, Maintenance ) outcome of an Information System (e.g., Invoice Printing ) functionality of a Software (e.g., as in SOA) IT name : String description : String lifecyclestatus : LifeCycleType 17 Support IS SW Do supporttier you see : Integer any further reasonable conceptualisations signature : InterfaceDescriptionof contactpoint : String standard : Standard IT service? IT Process Information System Software
18 Reconstruction of key domain concepts Associations of IT Various relations of IT suggested in literature, among others related to, core, enhancing, associate, IT service is part of (another IT ) ad 1) differentiation into core, supporting, IT s rather a context specific role (instead meta types) ad 2) we suggest to differentiate between aggregation and utilisation similar to aggregates IT What about similar IT services (to uses avoid redundancy and support higher levels of abstraction)? replaces pot. additive to 18
19 Reconstruction of key domain concepts Associations of IT To avoid redundancy and to support higher level of abstraction, the use of generalisation/specialisation seems to be promising. replaces aggregates variation point Specialisation specialised by IT uses description : String variation : VariationType variability : VariationDependency specialised into pot. additive to but: semantics and operationalization of service variation points has not been clarified yet 19
