Abstract

System and method for modelling and simulating a decision making process of an enterprise is disclosed. Data corresponding to a plurality of units in the enterprise is received. For each unit, a unit configuration may be determined. The unit configuration comprises goals of the unit, a set of internal properties of the unit, a set of functions of the unit, events to be handled by the unit, and a composition structure of one or more units to interact with other units of the plurality of units participating to perform a task. Further, a plurality of tuples is specified for the unit configuration. The plurality of tuples of the unit configuration is translated into an executable programming language. Subsequently, the unit configuration is simulated using the executable programming language to analyze decision making of the enterprise corresponding to the plurality of units for the unit configuration.

Claims

1. A method for modelling and simulating a decision making process of an enterprise, the method comprising:

receiving, via a hardware processor, data corresponding to a plurality of units in an enterprise, wherein a unit in the plurality of units performs at least one task to achieve at least one goal of the enterprise;

determining, via the hardware processor, a unit configuration comprising goals of the unit, a set of internal properties of the unit, a set of functions of the unit, events to be handled by the unit, a composition structure of one or more units to interact with other units of the plurality of units participating to perform a task, a behavior of the one or more units utilizing other units to achieve the goals, and parametric properties influencing the goals and the behavior of the units;

specifying, via the hardware processor, a plurality of tuples for the unit configuration;

translating, via the hardware processor, the plurality of tuples of the unit configuration into an executable programming language; and

simulating, via the hardware processor, the unit configuration using the executable programming language to analyze decision making of the enterprise corresponding to the plurality of units for the unit configuration.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the executable programming language is a kernel language.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of units comprise one of an organizational unit, people, and an infrastructure unit.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one task comprise one of sending an event, receiving an event, and performing a function, by the unit.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the unit configuration is determined with a degree of certainty.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising specifying values for the parametric properties to evaluate the goals set for the unit.

7. The method for claim 1, further comprising obtaining an optimal unit configuration to achieve the goals with a degree of certainty based on the simulation.

8. A system for modelling and simulating a decision making process of an enterprise, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a hardware processor coupled to the memory, wherein the hardware processor executes program instructions stored in the memory, to;

receive data corresponding to a plurality of units in an enterprise, wherein a unit in the plurality of units performs at least one task to achieve at least one goal of the enterprise;

determine a unit configuration comprising goals of the unit, a set of internal properties of the unit, a set of functions of the unit, events to be handled by the unit, a composition structure of one or more units to interact with other units of the plurality of units participating to perform a task, a behavior of the one or more units utilizing other units to achieve the goals, and parametric properties influencing the goals and the behavior of the units;

specify a plurality of tuples for the unit configuration;

translate the plurality of tuples of the configuration into an executable programming language; and

simulate the unit configuration using the executable programming language to analyze decision making of the enterprise corresponding to the plurality of units for the unit configuration.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the executable programming language is a kernel language.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the plurality of units comprise one of an organizational unit, people, and an infrastructure unit

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the at least one task comprise one of sending an event, receiving an event, and performing a function, by the unit.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the unit configuration is determined with a degree of certainty.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the hardware processor further executes the program instruction to obtain an optimal unit configuration to achieve the goals with a degree of certainty based on the simulation.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device for modelling and simulating a decision making process of an enterprise, the program comprising program code for:

receiving data corresponding to a plurality of units in an enterprise, wherein a unit in the plurality of units performs at least one task to achieve at least one goal of the enterprise;

determining a unit configuration comprising goals of the unit, a set of internal properties of the unit, a set of functions of the unit, events to be handled by the unit, a composition structure of one or more units to interact with other units of the plurality of units participating to perform a task, a behavior of the one or more units utilizing other units to achieve the goals, and parametric properties influencing the goals and the behavior of the units;

specifying a plurality of tuples for the unit configuration;

translating the plurality of tuples of the unit configuration into an executable programming language; and

simulating the unit configuration using the executable programming language to analyze decision making of the enterprise corresponding to the plurality of units for the unit configuration.
