Abstract
Models play a key role in the design of information systems. Apart from graphical tools supporting the creation of models, there is only limited support for a retrieval on models which goes beyond text-based search. The rapidly increasing number of business information systems demand the reuse of existing models which depends heavily on the effective retrieval of appropriate models. In this paper we introduce Firestorm, an object-oriented framework for general model retrieval based on so-called three-layer structured service models. Firestorm provides extensible algorithmic retrieval facilities in the sense that it can be applied to arbitrary model domains.
