Automatic Modeling of Collaboration-Based Organization Structure in E-logistic

Electronic business has made logistics collaboration more and more important. Electronic logistic (e-logistic) as an open electronic platform can realize logistics collaboration. Business process management system (BPMS) supports the operation of e-logistic. In BPMS there are a large number of event logs recording the performers who initiate or complete the logistic activities. Collaboration-based organization structure is so flexible as to be more suitable for the business implementing e-logistic. However the existing organizational structure modeling methods are difficult to model collaboration-based structure. This paper design an automatic modeling method of collaboration-based organization structure based on event logs from BPMS in e-logistic. Firstly, six kinds of performer relations are analyzed, i.e. PR1-PR6; Secondly, Five kinds of modeling rules are designed, i.e. MR1-MR5; At last, an actual case are given to verify feasibility of this method.
