Five Resources
1
1. The resources can be web based or journal based. If journal based, the entire journal
should be related, not just a single article (in rare cases, if a single article is
seminal in the area it is acceptable, but this is typically not the case.) Sometimes a
special issue of a journal is acceptable. Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (2000).
Be sure to provide constructive commentary on the resource. “I highly
recommend not just this webpage, but the entire KBSI website (see next resource).”

The EntEng website contains many topics on enterprise engineering. I used the
webpage that discussed IDEF3 exclusively. This webpage defines what IDEF3 is, gives
an example of an IDEF3 diagram, discusses the benefits and applications of IDEF3, and
explains IDEF3 syntax.
