Abstract :
In this article we propose workflow techniques such as FUNSOFT for the specification of ODP Enterprise Models. Workflow-orientation as one of the most popular management paradigms and object-orientation as the state of the art software development paradigm are integrated in the ODP framework. Our example is related to our experience in the air traffic control application domain and will demonstrate how a workflow related development perspective embedded in the ODP framework can improve the system integration on one hand and will guarantee user participation at the same time. The properties of FUNSOFT nets are compared to the elements of the ODP enterprise language and an interpretation of FUNSOFT nets in the ODP framework is proposed. We demonstrate how workflow-orientation can be used for the harmonisation of business processes in the air traffic control domain
