Abstract
In the scope of virtual and networked enterprises, we propose a way to integrate quality management into enterprise modeling and allow for quality certification of the whole enterprise. ISO 9001:2000 is presented as a suitable standard for these enterprises quality management systems implementation. On the other hand, quality management system certification in the scope of ISO 10011 is quite difficult, being presented some alternative scenarios for certification.

Abstract
This paper proposes an enterprise modelling language (EML) for model-based shop floor control. To introduce a new computer executable modelling language, two modelling frameworks were analysed, namely the CIMOSA and GERAM frameworks. This language covers the different life cycle phases of enterprise modelling (design, implementation and operation), allowing an easy and fast transition from each phase to the next. In the operation phase the models can be used to control and monitor (on-line) the enterprise resources behaviour. Section 3 presents an example of an operational model, based on the proposed EML, for real-time enterprise activity control. Despite the fact that the proposed modelling language does not intend to be a full CIMOSA compliant language, it could easily be a first step in that direction. Section 4 tries to validate this hypothesis by showing how a CIMOSA model (functional view), could be built based on the proposed EML.
