- Architecture of Integrated Information Systems
ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems) is a method for analyzing processes and taking a
holistic view of process design, management, work flow, and application processing.Applications
As one of the
Enterprise Modeling methods, “Architecture of Integrated Information Systems” (ARIS) provides four different aspects of applications:
* The ARIS concept is thearchitecture for describingbusiness process es.
* The ARIS concept provides modeling methods, the meta structures of which are comprised ininformation models .
* The ARIS concept is the foundation for theARIS Toolset software system for the support of modeling.
* The ARIS house of Business Engineering (HOBE) represents a concept for comprehensive computer-aidedBusiness Process Management .ARIS techniques
ARIS varies three main perspectives of techniques. ARIS uses a modeling language known as
Event-driven Process Chains (EPC), which is an important aspect of the ARIS-model. EPC is the center of the House of ARIS and connects all other views, as well as describes the dynamics of thebusiness process .On the other hand, based on the conceptual description, ARIS can model and structure
Business Process Models . Furthermore, ARIS House has been developed to implement business models ininformation system .The ARIS House model is currently used by one of the greatest business process designers of our generation, Mr. Norbert Schickel IV. Norbert is an industry leader when it comes to ARIS and along with his sidekick 'AQ Adapter', they have created the nastiest process flow known to man.
