Abstract
Multisourced and federated business operations and IT services are the backbone of today’s enterprise. However, in most companies, there exists a natural gap and disconnection between the decision and evaluation at the business level and the execution and metrics at the IT level. This disconnection can lead to end-user dissatisfaction, diminished profit, and missed business objectives. In this chapter, we study the problem of this disconnection and provide the following frameworks and techniques toward bridging the gap: (a) We provide a model-transformation framework that effectively transforms business-level decisions documented as businessprocess models into IT-level executable representations based on service-oriented infrastructure, (b) a framework is described that is able to monitor and synthesize IT-level performance and metrics to meet service-level agreements between business management and end users, and (c) techniques and experiments are discussed that enable dynamic adaptation of IT infrastructure according to business decision changes.
