Abstract

One of the main challenges in the modeling of business problems is to provide the modeler and the user with meaningful visual tools. The business model is usually presented by different types of flow charts and diagrams. If the modeling process is simplified in how it is represented to the user, it improves understanding, as well as, helps to interpret the result of the analysis. This paper discusses a proposed methodology for business modeling and how this process can be applied to real world problems. The formal iterative modeling process includes a Probabilistic Model Description, Domain Model Diagram, and diagrams to define model's calculation logic, sensitivity analysis tools, decision trees, and other tools. The paper also discusses benefits of the unification of specification for the visualization tools. The described methodology is used in decision and risk analysis application Decision Tool Kit.
