Abstract:
A measurement-based context is a working environment where measurements, i.e. quantitative information
from measured quantities, represent a fundamental component and are relevant for behaviors, decisions and
scenario modeling. In such a context, the Rational Unified Process has been customized in order to improve
the methodological approach for the business modeling. The aspects considered concern the analysis of the
involved stakeholders, the measurements concepts to be shared among them and the way this sharing can be
realized for suitable use of the information deriving from measurements. The effects of this study in terms
of definition of the business modeling team, insertion of some specific input documents and increase of
ability of transferring the real physical meaning of the measurement information in the business modeling
process are discussed. The methodological improvements contributing to an aware cooperation among
stakeholders involved are argued.
