A Qualitative Analysis of Uncertainty and Correlation Computing for the Business Processes of Enterprise Interoperability

Abstract

In the domain of enterprise interoperability many uncertain factors affect the performance of the whole cross-organizational business process, e.g. uncertain business process executing time, uncertain business logic in a process, et al. Uncertain factors couldn’t be avoided but can be analyzed. In this paper a model about Enterprise Interoperability Domain (EID) is given and the main uncertain factors during enterprise interoperability are analyzed. To analyze the correlation between the business processes in an EID, an updated grey correlation analysis method is given to help calculating the grey relational degree between the elements with uncertainty in an EID. The simulation shows that the result of grey correlation degree can be very helpful for the further optimization of enterprise interoperability business process.
