M3W = Model-driven support for Multi-channel
M3W is a
project financed by The Norwegian Research Council (NFR) under the program VERDIKT,
for the period January 2006 - December 2009. It supports 3 PhD students that is
planned to start I September 2006. The project manager is Prof. John Krogstie, IDI, NTNU. Other researchers involved are Prof Guttorm Sindre IDI, NTNU and
Professor Andreas Opdahl IFI,
UIB, Bergen Norway. Since the PhD students also do 25% teaching paid by the
department, they are scheduled to finish September 2010. For more information
about the project, contact krogstie at idi.ntnu.no.
The project
will develop and evaluate a prototype process
support system for mobile work
built on top of existing components. The mobile
work system prototype will be:
·
Model-driven to support rapid tailoring of work
processes to utilise technology changes and to reflect changing requirements at
the organisation, group and user levels.
·
Multi-channel to support coordinated use of
multiple types of mobile devices and other computing equipment in a single work
process
For this
purpose, the project will develop:
·
A
model-driven process support system for
multi-channel mobile work,
based on interactive enterprise modelling and requirements specification techniques that deal with unstable and
unclear work processes and with
unstable, unclear and sometimes inconsistent requirements at the user, group and organisation levels.
· Multi-channel solutions for a model-driven mobile work system based on interactive enterprise
information architecture modelling techniques to integrate the mobile work
system with the users’ other systems of choice and to support rapid system
reconfigurations that utilise technology changes.
· Model-integration techniques
to integrate the interactive models (1) with
one another to make it possible to coordinate and evolve (models of) work
processes, requirements and architectures over time and (2) with existing model enactment techniques to enable
user-friendly planning and execution of processes according to task priority
and user profiles.
The project will evaluate the proposed approach both
analytically and empirically, by involving industrial partners in evaluation
activities.
