4. Towards P Systems Based Approach for Evolutionary Enterprise Application

Development of enterprise applications is expensive, takes time and requires knowledge, tools and techniques. Contemporary enterprise applications must be dependable as well as customizable in the evolutionary way according to changes in the enterprise business processes. The wider goal of our research is to develop techniques for development of enterprise applications that software end users, in collaboration with software developers, are able to change safely and easily according to changing requirements. In accordance to the software engineering triptych: to write software, the requirements must be prescribed; to prescribe the requirements, the domain must be understood; to understand the domain, we must study one. We present and exemplify P systems based enterprise domain model. We treat an enterprise as a membrane-computing structure and utilize P system notions, notations and formalisms in modelling of enterprises and enterprise business processes. In our understanding this P systems based enterprise model can provide a practically usable framework for development of evolutionary enterprise applications.
