Abstract

The discipline of enterprise engineering and the DEMO methodology provide enterprise designers with a formal techniques to design companies where competency, responsibility and authority is clearly defined. In such companies, process-based anomalies can be avoided and people tend to cooperate more effectively and contentedly.
These techniques are so far mostly used just for business process modeling consultancy. DEMO-based software systems are needed to adopt and support these techniques in professional companies. This paper proposes a theoretical computation concept called DEMO Machine that provides us with formal foundations for a simulation of DEMO models. We demonstrate these formal foundations on a Volley Club example.
