Decision making using simulation models of business processes: an implementation view

A method for development a decision making system that uses simulation models is presented in the paper. It combines a development and integration of the simulation models into an enterprise information system. An integrating layer for integration of the simulation models is developed using Web service technologies. Piece-linear aggregates formalism is applied for creation of the simulation models of business processes. An illustrative example of a decision making system for evaluation of tanker loading schedules is presented
