JTang Dubhe: a Service Pattern Modeling and Analysis System

Business models now become essential parts of an enterprise's strategy. Many newly-rising crossover business models require multi-industry companies involved. The communication and cooperation process between the enterprises shows the characteristics of complexity and high uncertainty, which is detrimental to business value analysis. However, existing methods can not quantify the value demands of their stakeholders. Service pattern models business from the perspective of enterprise application. It is executable and suitable for quantitative analysis. In this paper, we cooperate with management experts and propose a new ontology-based modeling and multi-agent-based simulation method that supports the quantitative analysis of the stakeholder's value demands at the business process level. With the method proposed, a corresponding simulation system is developed, Dubhe. It is a user-friendly modeling, simulation, and visualization tool for corporate decision-makers. Finally, the paper uses a case study to prove that the method and system can evaluate the value of a business process and discover the bottlenecks.
