Enterprises increasingly jointly participate in service value webs. They do so because enterprises can then offer services they could not offer on their own. In earlier work, we have developed the evalue methodology to conceptually model such networks, as a design task. This paper proposes an approach to semi-automatically generate such service value networks based on service profiles and a sta...

This paper presents a novel approach to automatically generate evalue instance models, based on skeletal design techniques. The approach has three phases. While the first two phases are related to the generation of a value activity network based on a given value skeleton, the third phase matches the elements of the value network with the capabilities of service providers. The main objective of ...

e-Services are commercial services that can be ordered and provisioned via the Internet, satisfying a consumer need. Sometimes, such services are provisioned by a constellation of enterprises, and consist of multiple elementary services. A problem is then how to configure such a constellation, satisfying a complex consumer need. To this end, we extend the notion of consumer need in the evalue m...

Increasingly organizations are participating in networked value constellations, which are networks where organizations, enabled by information technology, jointly create value and satisfy customer needs. However, participating in a networked value constellation increases the problem of correctly understanding the organization, which is necessary to design (cross)-organizational IT support. Ther...

Business models have been an important topic in various disciplines and particularly e-business. Yet, little research has tempted to compare and integrate the different business model approaches. This paper compares two business model ontologies, the Business Model Ontology BMO and the evalue ontology, for the design of business models and value constellations. For that purpose it introduces a ...

A business model is a representation of an organization with a particular point of view. It is common to find different types of models to describe the business. However, methods to create business models representing an economic point of view have only emerged over the last few years in the scientific community. Such methods aid business specialists improving the economics understanding of the...
