System and method for making service assembly model certification automation

Abstract

A system and method is described for using descriptive logic (DL) representations to validate consistency in component business model (CBM) maps. Semantic constraints are generated from a semantic model of a component business model meta-model and inconsistency conditions of CBM maps. The semantic model of the CBM meta-model is applied to transform CBM maps into corresponding semantic representations. An inference engine applies the semantic constraints to the semantic representations to determine inconsistencies between one CBM map and another and between a CBM map and the component business model meta-model.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to component-based business models, and more particularly to systems and methods for deriving and resolving potential inconsistencies in the semantic representation of business component model diagrams. Background technique [0002] Business Component Modeling is an existing technique for modeling the entire enterprise from a business perspective, driving information technology (IT) initiatives to help transform the enterprise from the current AS-IS state to the desired TO-BE state. Business Component Model (CBM) diagrams are key components in CBM techniques and CBM-related tools. Business component modeling is a technique for modeling business based on a large number of non-overlapping "business components", which are defined as a relatively independent set of business activities. Unlike conventional business process-based models, which provide a transactional view of the business, it provides a simple analytic...

Problems solved by technology

Manual validation of CBM models and diagrams performed to avoid these inconsistencies is a tedious and error-prone process, resulting in greatly reduced productivity and accuracy based on CBM analysis
