Three Tier Approach for Hierarchical Business State Engineering

State oriented modeling approaches are popular in designing of IT solutions. When developing eBusiness systems wide spectrum of stakeholder participation is critical for successful system delivery. However, most of the existing state based techniques encourage lower level implementation perspective resulting limitations in communication with non-technical business users. The paper proposes three tier unified framework and a methodology to reach final implementation systematically starting from higher level business design. It is based on well established speech acts theory for business communication modeling.
