Intelligent Enterprise Modelling |
 |
MERODE is an object-oriented Enterprise Information Systems Engineering method developed at KU Leuven. It helps to install an Enterprise Architecture vision and follows a model-driven engineering approach.
|
The MERODE-method is supported by different tools. MERLIN is the most recent web-based tool for creating MERODE-models. The Code Generator allows generating a Java Application from a MERLIN model, exported as mxp file. The generated application includes didactic feedback helping a student to understand how the application's behaviour results from specific model elements. JMermaid is the Java-based predecessor of MERLIN. It is no longer maintained. |
B-MERODE expands MERODE so as to enable code generation for blockchain. The project is a collaboration with V. Amaral de Sousa and C. Burnay at UNamur.

The REA2 ontology allow to define a generic model for a prototypical and extensible blockchain able to support a variety of business transaction scenarios. Formalizing it as a MERODE-model allowed us to prototype this model in just a few clicks. The project is a collaboration with Wim Laurier and Satoshi Horiuchi from the CHUO university in Japan.
