The Role of Modelling in Organization and Business Informatics

Abstract

In this paper the role of visual formal modelling in the subjects of Organization (i.e. Business Process Management) and Business Informatics (i.e. Software Development) is stated. Based on this we discuss which impact actual developments, i.e. agile work practices and generative AI, have on this role. For generative AI the actual capabilities on visual formal modelling of the best-known AI-tools experimentally are examined. Synthesizing, an outlook on the future application of visual formal modelling by humans is given. The consequences for the future adaption of teaching in the field of visual formal modelling in Business and Informatics curricula (and in related interdisciplinary subjects) are pointed out.
