Modelling Chemical Plant Construction VO in VOML

Abstract

The VOML (Virtual Organization Modelling Language) is framework for specifying virtual organizations (VOs) and their breeding environments (VBEs). It consist of the sub-languages VO-S, VO-O and VO-R to model structural, operational and evolution aspects of the VOs respectively. To show that VOML lends itself well to model virtual organizations of different complexity and different nature, it is applied to specify an actual Chemical Plant Development case study conducted as part of the GOLD project. This paper presents the modelling of structural and reconfiguration aspect of the case study using the VO-S and VO-R languages respectively. This work is conducted as part of PhD dissertation.
