Generating Service Value Webs by Hierarchical Configuration: A Case in Intellectual Property Rights Clearing

Abstract
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 e3value 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 stated consumer need. To this end, we apply skeleton design
and hierarchical configuration techniques. The configuration
process is illustrated by a case study in the field of
intellectual property right clearing.
