Dan,
Good comments - but I'm inclined to say 'not so!' -
and specifically because
while UML is a horizontal technology - BCM and EPR
templates are
horizontal by nature within a domain.
Therefore - one can expect them to
have inherent usefulness regardless. Indeed
one focus of EPR focuses
is precisely to establish a baselevel of operator
competence - and a
learn-as-you-do coaching effect too.
As I've consistently found in problem solving -
just knowing what simple
question to ask is often the key. By coaching
with the right questions
the alpha-beta pruning of possible right answers
occurs much more
rapidly!
UML boxes are distressingly inert and lacking in
inherent knowledge...

A Fool with a Tool is
still a Fool once again. Just indicative of a lack of engineering
discipline (you don’t need an engineering degree) and the inability to execute
team/goal directed learning. Substitute BCM Template for UML and roll
the calendar ahead three years and we can revisit this article again.
This really gives us an indication of our challenges for the BCM-EPR
Subcommittee. Both Templates and UML have a role in Framework
development. Templates are a business mechanism and UML is an
infrastructure development tool that requires abstraction skills. The
test for coexistence will be template reuse.
Attached is a nice
piece of glossary/vocabulary work from the FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent
Physical Agents) Methodology TC. Often the basics are forgotten and UML has a
poor metamodel for ignorance modeling.

I'd asked ACM Queue magazine to
notify me as soon as this thought provoking
article was available online from
their March issue.
I'm very pleased to let everyone
know this is now available.

That's great news - I very much
look forward to seeing it.
