aris

Aris is a male given name of Greek origin. In modern Greek, Aris is often a short form of Aristides, Aristotelis, or Aristophanes, and it can also derive directly from Ares, the god of war. The name is common in Greece and among Greek-speaking communities, and it is used independently in various countries.

ARIS, standing for Architecture of Integrated Information Systems, is a framework and methodology for modeling, analyzing, and designing enterprises and their business processes. Developed in the 1990s by German professor August-Wilhelm Scheer, ARIS uses multiple interrelated views—data, function, organization, and control—to describe an enterprise and its processes. It commonly employs event-driven process chains (EPC) to model workflows and supports process optimization, enterprise architecture, and compliance. The ARIS concept was commercialized in the ARIS Toolset by IDS Scheer, and the holding company later became part of Software AG, influencing many approaches to business process management.

Aris Thessaloniki F.C., also known simply as Aris, is a Greek professional football club based in Thessaloniki.

In addition to these uses, Aris can refer to other people or entities that use the name or the acronym in distinct contexts. The meaning is typically clarified by surrounding information.
