    Agent orientation as a modelling paradigm
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 43, No. 2, 2001) Yu, Eric
    SummaryRequirements analysis is a crucial step in systems development. Today’s systems are increasingly more diverse, more dispersed yet interconnected, more fluid and constantly evolving. Traditional modelling and analysis techniques based on mechanistic principles and assumptions are inadequate for dealing with the complexity and dynamism of the new environment. In the requirements engineering area, new techniques are being developed based on social conceptions of complex systems. They offer richer concepts for analyzing user needs and stakeholder wants, for discovering and exploring alternatives, and for assessing their viability. This paper argues for a modelling approach where agents have intentionality, autonomy, sociality, contingent identity and boundaries, strategic reflectivity, and rational self-interest.

    Designing Business Analytics Solutions
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 62, No. 1, 2020) Nalchigar, Soroosh; Yu, Eric
    The design and development of data analytics systems, as a new type of information systems, has proven to be complicated and challenging. Model based approaches from information systems engineering can potentially provide methods, techniques, and tools for facilitating and supporting such processes. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it introduces a conceptual modeling framework for the design and development of advanced analytics systems. It illustrates the framework through a case and provides a sample methodological approach for using the framework. The paper demonstrates potential benefits of the framework for requirements elicitation, clarification, and design of analytical solutions. Secondly, the paper presents some observations and lessons learned from an application of the framework by an experienced practitioner not involved in the original development of the framework. The findings were then used to develop a set of guidelines for enhancing the understandability and effective usage of the framework.

    Modeling Simultaneous Cooperation and Competition Among Enterprises
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 60, No. 1, 2018) Pant, Vik; Yu, Eric
    Coopetition (simultaneous cooperation and competition) between organizations has emerged as a prominent and critical industrial practice that allows organizations to increase combined welfare through cooperation while maximizing individual gains through competition. The formulation and enactment of such an organizational strategy entails designing and operating information systems that maximize benefits while minimizing costs from concomitant cooperation and competition. Coopetition raises new concerns and considerations about the design of data, processes, and interfaces of information systems. Analyzing coopetition can be challenging since cooperation and competition are paradoxical social behaviors that are undergirded by contradictory logics, hypotheses, and assumptions. Therefore, the ability of decision-makers to represent and reason about coopetition in a structured and systematic manner can be beneficial as it can support their efforts to co-design organizational strategies and information systems. This paper presents insights about the initial stages of an exploratory research project that is focused on the development of a modeling framework to support representation and reasoning of interorganizational coopetitive strategies. The objectives of this paper are to outline the goals of this research project which include: (1) identifying the primary characteristics for modeling and analyzing coopetitive relationships, as well as (2) proposing artefacts for expressing and evaluating these relationships.
