An enterprise model is a comprehensive description of the organizational structure, the information resources and the business processes that constitute an enterprise with the help of a conceptual modeling method. Existing methods, however, have difficulties to capture the physical and social dynamics which is inherent in organizations, and to integrate it with a static information model. Agent-oriented methods represent a promising approach to overcome these difficulties. In this paper, we investigate the combination of a recently proposed agent-oriented approach, called Agent-Object-Relationship (AOR) modeling [8], with the more established business rule modeling method of Ross [10] in modeling a car rental company.
