外文翻译 原文 A specification language for organizational performance indicators MaterialSource:the library of zhe jiang wanli university Author: Viara popova·Jan treur Abstract A specification language for performance indicators and their relations and requirements is presented and illustrated for a case study in logistics. The language can be used in different forms, varying from informal, semiformal, graphical formal. A software environment has been developed that supports the specification process and can be used to automatically check whether performance indicators or relations between them or certain requirements over them are satisfied in a given organizational process. Keywords Performance indicator Organization Requirement Language 1 Introduction In organizational design, redesign or change processes, organizational performance indicators form a crucial source of information; cf. [15]. Within such processes an organization is (re)designed to better the performance indicators that are considered important. In this manner, within organizational (re)design processes, performance indicators function as requirements for the organizational processes. Within the domain of software engineering in a similar manner, requirements play an important role. Software is (re)designed to better the requirements that are imposed. The use of requirements within a software engineering process has been studied in more depth during the last decades; it has led to the area called Requirements Engineering; Formal languages to express requirements, and automated tools have been developed to support the specification process (from informal to formal) and to verify or validate whether they are fulfilled by a designed software component. In this paper it is investigated how some of the achievements in Requirements Engineering can be exploited in the field of organizational performance indicators. Inspired by requirement specification languages, a formal language to specify performance indic
