(BPS)

Based on the existing simulation technology, this presentation will propose a BPS platform which is service oriented and SAAS based. With this platform, the BPS is used as a web service on the Internet that provides simulation services for tenants to customize simulation service.

and

Mix of the two kinds of methods.

1.

It involves following two methods:User-Instance Simulation Method: This method is used to simulate the situation of large number of users logging in the simulation service system. Most of the testing tools,not limited to the business process field have adopted the user-instance simulation.

Required Simulation Information Configure the number of virtual users as the number of concurrent threads Configure simulation information on the task nodes

Expected Simulation Results The visualization service will show the Completion time of a process instance when instance end, and calculate the average task waiting time.

2. Process-Instance Simulation Method This method is used to simulate the situation of multi-business process instances. Required Simulation Information Configure the number of virtual process instance as the number of concurrent threads. Configuration decision throughout every branch of the process definition as much as possible. Configure simulation information on the task nodes

Expected Simulation Results Statistic utilization of resources. Statistical delay time on each manual task node.The delay is caused by insufficient resources.

Limitations of User Instance Simulation Method

It only simulates the process from the perspective of the implementation of a single process instance simulation by multi-user, unable to simulate the situation of concurrent multi-process instances.

A larger database is required to support simulation. It only test the performance of process but not the use of resources.

Limitations of Process-Instance Simulation Method

It leads to simulation lacking of the analysis of the real factors of concurrent users We cannot predict the delay of the tasks.

There are two kinds of threads-user instance and process instance It is technically achievable because it uses a coordination mechanism between threads to complete simulation. It uses horizontal and vertical viewing angle of a Business Process execution which makes simulation results more realistic and credible.

It describes the business process well. While BPDM can express the actual system but we still need BPSM for Resource information Executive time information Which Information constitutes a necessary condition for the implementation of the simulation.

Human behavior is modeled from the view point of personal order of processing tasks. The simulator provides four types of human behavior in processing tasks as follows A person who obeys the order recommended by his or her personal agent(Obedient) A person who never takes a test when he or she has tasks to do and tries to finish the tasks as early as possible(Hasty)

A person who starts a task as possibe to keep the deadline(Lazy) A person who does a task in parallel with other tasks (Concurrent)

To add the following simulation elements , we could easily fit the types of human behaviors Delay Cost Revenue Duration Ratio

I. Simulation Configuration Tool

In order to run BPS and to carry out what if analysis, we have to quantify all variables in the business items and formulate all relationships among variables. The tool is a graphical modeling environment working on Web.

The parts of the simulation engine include Model parser State controller Process controller

This presentation proposed a BPS platform which is service-oriented and SAAS-based. The BPS platform uses a superposition of two kinds of simulation methods called Interaction Simulation method (ISM),which is more realistic and credible. Based on this method we propose a set of complete simulation model derived from the process definition model.
