It also used to capture the business requirements that lead to an IT system specification. TradeYourMind is developped on the SalesForce platform. It is used in our courses.

SeamCAD :

SeamCAD is the tool developed to support our research. We can make all kinds of SEAM models, even the ones not yet invented. We can model: goal-belief, behavior, supplier-adopter relations. A mode called Pure Seam allows to draw all kinds of model. The tool can generate Zachman representation, to make concrete the relation between SEAM and Zachman. We can also export XML files, for example to import SEAM models in a cartography tool. SeamCAD is used in our courses and by the EPFL IT department.
