Modeling Processes for Managing Reputation Information - A Petri Net Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic networks bear various potentials often limited through information asymmetries and opportunism in inter-organizational (business) processes. To reduce uncertainties when selecting trustful partners, qualitative goods, and other objects we propose a concept for a so-called "reputation information management system" that is demand-driven and process-based. Offering decision support by providing reputation information helps reducing uncertainties in virtual environments. However, instead of focusing on technical aspects of generating and managing reputation information we concentrate on modeling the underlying processes. Networked processes and exchange documents (e.g., reputation information reports) are modeled by using a variant of high-level Petri nets, so-called XML nets. XML nets allow for an integrated modeling of the processes and the process relevant XML documents. Due to their formal foundation, XML nets exhibit potentials for analyzing purposes and for the direct execution by a respective workflow engine.

Formal approach on modeling and predicting of software system security: Stochastic petri net
To evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by Stochastic Petri Net in this paper. In this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of Petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of Stochastic Petri Net and the computing power of Markov chain. Each...
