Abstract

Business performance improvement is arguably the most important factor in the development or reengi-neering of a business information system. We present a framework that, given a model of a business information system and a performance goal, helps determine the modifications required in the model in order to meet the performance goal. Our framework includes: (1) an executable system model based on workflows, triggers, and execution resources; (2) an execution environment that measures system performance; (3) improvement operators that can modify the system model; and (4) an automatic improvement mechanism that uses AI search techniques to guide the modification of the system model to meet a performance goal.
