Overview Overriding Goals Determine the Efficacy: (Efficiency & Effectiveness ) - evaluate the different constructs (ML, MP, EP, ST) to determine the overall efficiency and effectiveness Efficiency : reduce the effort Effectiveness: improve the quality of the result Determine the Success of collaborative effort : (Success factors) - evaluate the modeling effort to determine (critical) success factors that influence the efficiency & effectiveness.

Overview The Modeling Artifacts
CM Evaluation Supporting Frameworks SEQUAL (Lindland et al., 1994; Krogstie, et al., 2006) Based on: Semiotic theory Understanding the quality of conceptual models TAM (Davis 1986; Davis et al., 1989) TRA/TPB (Fishbein, 1975; Ajzen, 1991) About: Attitudes, Beliefs, Intentions/Perceptions, Behaviour Explaining & predicting user acceptance of IS/ITs MEM (Moody, 2001; Moody, 2003) Based on : Methodological pragmatism (Theo.Know validation) Evaluating IS design methods & TAM

Empirical Results Modeling Expt. & Evaluation Modeling Experiment:Collaborative modeling session using COMA toolEvaluation:Using a measurement instrument (Questionnaire) 7-pt Likert Scale Constructs to assess:PQML, PUMP, PQEP and EOUM
Empirical Results Validation & Reliability Tests Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) Goal: Retain factors that account for significant amount variance in the data. Precursor to CFA.Principal Component Analysis (PCA): Data reduction : determing the number of factors Factor rotation : determining the (non-)correlation of factorsCommon Factor Analysis/Principal Factor Analysis: understanding the relationship btwn: indicators (measured: MLs, MPs, EPs, STs) variables in terms of factor (latent: PQML, PUMP, PQEP, EOUM) variables

Conclusion & Future Direction Conclusion:Rather than model quality, other artifacts can be used in the evaluation of quality and success of a collaborative modeling effort.Future Direction:Establishing the interdependencies of the artifacts and their impact on the overall qualityMeasuring the acceptability and adoption of the quality framework in practice
