adopting a participatory approach can be found in [22] . In order to systematize such
guidance using the intentions of EM as a basis could be to use the map concept
developed by [ 25] .
Develop more easily accessible guidance to support EM users in adopting a par-
ticipatory approach . Currently the best way to become a decent modeling facilitator
is through the learning by doing approach. In the best case a more experienced
facilitator can function as a mentor. In any case, it takes a long time. One of the
challenges in developing this type of guidance lies in the fact that participatory
modeling is heavily influenced by a large amount of situational factors. This means
that there are numerous choices to be made in different modeling situations. One
potential way of addressing this is to start with the essential advice on what should
not be done in different situations [ 28] .
Investigate how different modeling domains influence the purposes of EM dis-
cussed in the chapter. Different sectors may pose specific requirements on EM. For
example, in the telecommunications sector the models are more complex, in the
automotive industry the problem domain frequently spans beyond company borders,
in the public sector there are multiple stakeholder types with unclear intentions, and
so on. The different applications of EM should be supported by reusing the existing
knowledge in the area, which emphasizes the need to capture and package it in a
reusable form, such as e.g. patterns.
