On architecting business performance management grid for adaptive enterprises

Abstract

A business performance management grid is a grid-based system that supports an adaptive environment in which businesses can make prompt and well-informed business decisions. We describe the Business Performance Management Services Architecture, the architecture for grid-based services and an OGSA-based reference implementation for this architecture. Then we present a case study involving an implementation of a business performance management system in microelectronic manufacturing and describe its extension to the grid environment.
