Towards organization-oriented software engineering.
In Heinz Züllighoven, editor, Software Engineering Konferenz 2007 in Hamburg: SE'07 Proceedings, volume 105 of LNI, pages 205-217. GI, 2007.

Resumen: Software systems are subject to ever increasing complexity so that the necessity for their efficient structuring arises. In this context, the concept of organization as an expressive and abstract real-world analogue appears to be a promising starting point. In this paper, the advancement of the agent-oriented approach to software engineering to a truly organization-oriented one is propagated. In doing so, the possibility of abstraction through the metaphor of organizational unit will be highlighted. This concept allows to summarize a set of units in such a manner that complex systems may be regarded and treated as wholes. The aim is a multi-level and multi-dimensional approach to organization-oriented design that shall be qualified for the engineering of large software systems as well as for the general understanding of complex systems.
