Abstract :
"Common design resources¿ refers to a wide range of practices in the field of enterprise engineering. They also include tools and knowledge for collaboration among scientists and engineers. We develop them for service science: the design of complex one-of-a-kind knowledge-intensive systems. A new method, called Modelbase, accumulates reusable models (e.g., information, mathematical, and simulation) into randomly searchable repositories, and flexibly configures them for reuse. An implementation design is provided for structuring an open and scalable database of model resources and facilitating collaboration.
