Abstract
In the context of modern interconnected organizations seeking coordination and trustable solutions in enterprise systems, conceptual modeling plays a pivotal role. This paper explores the application of conceptual modeling to enhance the integration of principles and practices required for successful enterprise system development in the domain of Digital Business Ecosystems and Blockchain technology. Specifically, it focuses on addressing challenges related to supporting the redesign of a Digital Business Ecosystem that has blockchain or any other type of Digital Platforms. Conceptual modeling provides a multifaceted perspective for dissecting and understanding digital business ecosystems, enabling the exploration of diverse strategies during inception and management phases. In the face of substantial shifts within the blockchain-based business ecosystem, this study emphasizes the need for reevaluating two key conceptual modeling angles: (1) assessing business value through an e3value model, and (2) examining business processes using a BPMN model. To streamline the elicitation process, we used a case study in which we use an existing business value model to derive a process model effectively. The primary objective of this research is to validate a set of guidelines for translating an e3value model into a BPMN process model. To achieve this, a controlled experiment involving students well-versed in both conceptual modeling languages will be conducted. The quality of models generated using the proposed guidelines will be assessed by domain experts, focusing on factors such as validity and comprehensiveness. Additionally, an analysis of the experimental outcomes will be undertaken to identify limitations and inform future research endeavors.
