| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis tackles the topic of rule-driven dynamic business process simulation. During the research, the main drawbacks of the dynamic business process simulation method and supporting tool, which are developed by VGTU researchers, were identified: inconvenient definition and management of business rules and inefficient rule execution approach. Therefore, it was proposed to separate business rules management and execution from the simulation system to a separate rule management and execution system. The open source rule engine has been selected and adapted to dynamic management and execution of rules. The proposed solution enables to perform creation, modification, and activation of rules without a need to restart the entire simulation process. Moreover, it allows to operate with large amount of business rules while ensuring their dynamicity and high execution performance. Experimental evaluation has been performed to validate the propriety, convenience and efficiency of the proposed solution. The results of experimental evaluation showed that the main goal of this thesis has been achieved. Moreover, these results allowed to formulate a set of insightful recommendations for the further research. |
