abstract = {The development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications is a complex and challenging process. In this area, the main problems arise from the lack of standardization and the complexity and heterogeneity of the IoT landscape. It has been demonstrated that model-driven development (MDD) is an effective technique for tackling these issues. Our previous work showed that methods for MDD that include system development and integration and organizational aspects are scarce. To address this gap, this chapter introduces MIoTA: Modeling IoT Applications for Air Conditioning Facilities, a modeling method designed to facilitate the development of IoT applications in the air conditioning field. MIoTA was implemented on ADOxx, containing a domain-specific modeling language (DSML) and various functionalities to support the modeling and development processes. Consequently, no specific IT skills are required at the application level. The approach has been evaluated practically within a case study and with quality criteria in previous work.},

abstract = {The objective of the MIoTA (Modeling IoT Applications for Air Conditioning Facilities) modeling method is to facilitate the configuration of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the field of air conditioning facilities. The corresponding MIoTA tool incorporates a domain-specific modeling language (DSML) and its meta-model for air conditioning facilities and was developed in an industrial case study. Various functionalities support the modeling and development processes. Therefore, no specific IT skills are required at the application level. It is important that models created with MIoTA are readily accepted and correctly understood. This necessitates the use of an intuitively understandable notation. The current MIoTA tool and notation have been formally tested by domain experts who assisted in their development. In this paper, we conduct an experiment to assess the intuitiveness of working with the tool with users who have no prior experience with it and are no experts in the domain. The majority of the participants perceived MIoTA as useful and intuitive, and the results allow us to derive potential improvements.},

abstract = {Approaches and methods for enterprise modeling have been the subject of discussion and development in industry and academia during at least the last 30 years. Enterprise modeling supports organizations in coping with challenges related to dynamically changing business environments and the alignment of business goals and information systems to support these goals. For this purpose, different perspectives of an enterprise have to be taken into account—and, also, to be part of enterprise models, such as business goals, processes, products, services, business rules, and organization's structures. 4EM (for enterprise modeling) is an enterprise modeling method that offers a modeling language covering the different perspectives in conjunction with guidelines for the modeling process, strong stakeholder participation, and a project-based approach to conducting enterprise modeling.},

abstract = {In 2020, the new ITIL 4 standard was introduced. ITIL standardisation had and still has a big influence on how IT Service Management is seen and performed in practice. Thus, the new standard is expected to have a high impact as well. A key element of ITIL 4 is the strong focus on Stakeholder Value in the analysis of IT Services. Yet apart from ITIL, stakeholder orientation is a current trend in business analysis. itsVALUE method and Modeller provide means to model and analyse value delivery in IT Services and thus can be used in Service Design. It combines ``traditional'' approaches to value stream analysis and service modelling and ads concepts and functionalities that meet the requirements of IT Service Management and ITIL 4. The resulting approach is unique in its combination of modelling and analysis capabilities and helps implement the advantages of value orientation in IT Service Management.},
