Abstract

For years, the capturing of business decisions in enterprise models has not been treated as a separate concern. Rather, decisions were included in business process models or in knowledge models and ontologies. This leaves the overall view of a decision and its interplay with other decision and data requirements dispersed and hard to maintain.
The recently introduced OMG Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard deals with decisions as a separate concern and presents decision modeling as a sovereign part of enterprise modeling. Decisions are modeled at the logical level, and the model is executable.
This work links the logical decision model to various execution strategies and processes by formalizing decisions within a business context, and by examining execution mechanisms for different availability of input data. These strategies can determine the preferred business process that handles the decision or allow to execute a decision model even when not all inputs are available up front.
