Description
This book constitutes the post conference proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Enterprise and Organizational Modeling and Simulation, EOMAS 2011, held in conjunction with CAiSE 2011 in London, UK, in June 2011.
Enterprises are purposefully designed systems used to fulfill certain functions. An extended enterprise and organizational study involves both analysis and design activities, in which modeling and simulation play prominent roles.
The related techniques and methods are effective, efficient, economic, and widely used in enterprise engineering, organizational study, and business process management. The 14 contributions in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions, and they explore these topics, address the underlying challenges, find and improve on solutions, and demonstrate the application of modeling and simulation in the domains of enterprises, their organizations and underlying business processes.
