Particularly, the Object-Role Modeling language-the most prominent conceptual data modeling language-offers verbalization capabilities that ensure a common semantic understanding of the data specification, specifically for complex data systems and for non-native English speakers. However, ORM is primarily aimed at data specifications and has been more marginally used for process specifications. The paper reports part of the results on an experimental activity undertaken to probe the use of ORM for conceptual process modeling. In particular, the paper introduces the definitions of referencing capabilities for linking data models to the activity-the fundamental element of a process-models in ORM. Specifically, two new concepts have been identified as potentially necessary for supporting conceptual process modeling using ORM: Extended Facts, for distinguishing current Facts from potentially true Facts, and Set of Facts for indicating the Extended Facts affected by the activity. An activity schema definition also shows how these concepts can support the definition of an ORM interlayer for conceptual process modeling. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, keywords = {Collaborative engineering, Conceptual model, Object role models, Object-role modeling, Process Modeling, Processing, Referencing Capabilities}, isbn = {9781479942497}, issn = {15244547}, doi = {10.1109/WETICE.2014.29}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908400806\&partnerID=40\&md5=301878eb688f9fbb501795ab859a1b44}, author = {Gianni, D. and Bocciarelli, P. and Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio}, editor = {Reddy S.M.} } @conference {D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio2014197, title = {Track report of collaborative modeling and simulation (CoMetS 2014)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Workshop on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises, WETICE}, year = {2014}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {197-198}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, organization = {IEEE Computer Society}, abstract = {The CoMetS track aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from both the modeling and simulation (M\&S) community and the collaborative environments community, in order to focus on innovative research contributions that address both the use of collaborative technologies in the field of M\&S and the use of M\&S methodologies and tools to address the design of collaborative systems.

However, some issues limit the effectiveness of business process simulation (e.g., lack of simulation know how, costs and difficulties for gathering process data, semantic gap between the business process model and the simulation model). This paper proposes a model-driven method that automates the generation of executable business process simulation code. In order to address the increasing complexity and to take into account the inherent collaborative aspects of modern business processes, the simulation code produced by the proposed method replicates the business process distributed structure (in terms, e.g., of a service-oriented architecture) by including a set of simulation services that are orchestrated into a distributed simulation execution. The characterization of business processes in terms of the required performance properties is introduced through standard BPMN annotations according to a well-defined syntax, thus avoiding the need of additional languages. The implementation of the executable simulation code is based on the eBPMN language, a domain-specific language that preserves the semantic behavior of the original BPMN standard. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, keywords = {Time simulations}, isbn = {9781479942497}, issn = {15244547}, doi = {10.1109/WETICE.2014.27}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908454476\&partnerID=40\&md5=b0decda34447d3f850f0b68130c5d270}, author = {Bocciarelli, P. and Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio and Giglio, A. and Paglia, E. and Gianni, D.}, editor = {Reddy S.M.} }
