Executable Semantic Graphs for Enterprise Digital Twins
A formal framework for mapping high-level business process architectures directly to stateful execution graphs with real-time scenario simulation.
Enterprise architecture (EA) modeling frameworks traditionally enforce a strict division between static domain documentation and dynamic runtime execution. We present a formal framework for compiling heterogeneous architectural views into a single, strongly-typed Executable Semantic Graph (ESG).
1. Formal Mathematical Definition
Let an Executable Semantic Graph be defined as a 5-tuple:
Where:
- represents the set of operational semantic nodes.
- represents directed execution edges.
- maps each node to its internal queue state matrix.
- defines transition weights (routing probabilities).
- is the state transition transfer function over time quantum .
2. Structural Layer Compaction
To eliminate data redundancy across separate enterprise modeling standards, ESG compiles visual projections into unified node primitives[^1]:
| Source Model View | Primary Primitive | ESG Mapping Target | Runtime Behavioral Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPMN 2.0 | Service Task / Sub-Process | Node.Compute |
Latency distribution & Queue bounds |
| ArchiMate 3.1 | Application Interface | Node.Gateway |
Multiplexing & Rate limiting |
| UML 2.5 | State Transition | Edge.Conditional |
Boolean route evaluation |
| VSM (Value Stream) | Processing Time () | Node.Metric |
Accumulator & Wastage tracking |
3. Haskell Type System Specification
The core graph evaluation kernel operates on immutable algebraic data types to guarantee deterministic state transitions across parallel worker threads:
module EdgeNode.Core.GraphEngine where
import Data.Map.Strict (Map)
import Data.Text (Text)
type NodeId = Text
type Weight = Double
data NodeState
= Active { queueLength :: !Int, avgLatencyMs :: !Double }
| Degrading { errorRate :: !Double }
| Saturated
deriving (Eq, Show)
data SemanticNode = SemanticNode
{ nodeId :: !NodeId
, nodeLabel :: !Text
, state :: !NodeState
, capacity :: !Int
} deriving (Eq, Show)
-- | Evaluates next state transition vector over time step Delta T
stepNode :: SemanticNode -> Double -> SemanticNode
stepNode node deltaT
| capacity node <= 0 = node { state = Saturated }
| otherwise = node { state = Active (capacity node - 1) (deltaT * 0.85) }
