Background: Maintaining cohesion is critical for teams to achieve shared goals and performance outcomes within a work-integrated learning (WIL) environment. Cohesion is an emergent state that develops over time, representing the synchrony of different behavioural interactions. Cohesive teams will exhibit such phenomena by their temporal coordination of micro-level relations. Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to examine the cohesion of teams in learning environments using a learning analytics approach. Method: This study examines teams from higher education who participate in a WIL environment platform working in teams to develop their collaborative problem-solving skills. Here we show that temporal network motifs can be used as a proxy to measure cohesion. Results and Conclusions: We illustrate three clusters represented by team learning behaviours and found that each cluster has distinctive interactions with learning resources, performance outcomes, temporal network motif group characteristics and emergence over time using learning analytics. Implications: Applying temporal motifs as an analytics-based measure of cohesion is a starting point for understanding how cohesion develops over time without relying on surveys. We anticipate that the same approaches can be applied in most learning management systems containing trace data of teams and their interactions with learning resources to understand cohesion.

This document is a guest editorial from the journal "Enterprise Modelling & Information Systems Architectures" discussing the convergence of enterprise modeling and knowledge graphs. It emphasizes the need to reconnect diagrammatic enterprise modeling and engineering-oriented knowledge structuring. The editorial explores the use of knowledge graphs in enterprise modeling and introduces three papers that showcase different views on how enterprise models and ontologies or semantic graphs can support each other. The document aims to demonstrate the growing research on the convergence between enterprise modeling and knowledge graphs. Additionally, there is a list of references for articles and papers related to enterprise modeling, knowledge graphs, and ontology-driven conceptual modeling. [Extracted from the article]

Multi-level modeling is currently regaining attention in the database and software engineering community with different emerging proposals and implementations. One driver behind this trend is the need to reduce model complexity, a crucial aspect in a time of analytics in Big Data that deal with complex heterogeneous data structures. So far no standard exists for multi-level modeling. Therefore, different formalization approaches have been proposed to address multi-level modeling and verification in different frameworks and tools. In this article, we present an approach that integrates the formalization, implementation, querying, and verification of multi-level models. The approach has been evaluated in an open-source F-Logic implementation and applied in a large-scale data interoperability project in the oil and gas industry. The outcomes show that the framework is adaptable to industry standards, reduces the complexity of specifications, and supports the verification of standards from a software engineering point of view.

In large organizations, multiple stakeholders may modify the same business process. This paper addresses the problem when stakeholders perform changes on process views which become inconsistent with the business process and other views. Related work addressing this problem is based on execution trace analysis which is performed in a post-analysis phase and can be complex when dealing with large business process models. In this paper, we propose a design-based approach that can efficiently check consistency criteria and propagate changes on-the-fly from a process view to its reference process and related process views. The technique is based on consistent specialization of business processes and supports the control flow aspect of processes. Consistency checks can be performed during the design time by checking simple rules which support an efficient change propagation between views and reference process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
