Modelling Pricing for Configuring e-Service Bundles
نویسندگان
چکیده
To offer online bundles of independent e-services, software is needed that composes services of different enterprises into a bundle of services, satisfying a complex consumer need. In earlier research, a service ontology – a formalized conceptual model of services – has been developed for such software-aided service bundling. This ontology, however, did not include constructs to reason about the prices of services, while these are needed to realize and offer service bundles online. In this paper, we present an extension of the service ontology with pricing models for e-services. Examples from real-world services are used to illustrate how pricing models of services can be modelled by domain experts, and prices of service bundles can be calculated by software using the extended ontology.

This paper brings together work in stochastic modelling, using the process algebra PEPA, and work in automated planning. Stochastic modelling has been concerned with verification of system performance metrics for some time: given a model of a system, determining whether it will meet a service-level agreement (SLA). For example, whether a given sequence of transitions on a network will complete ...
