在這個日益競爭的知識環境下，組織必須面臨非常頻繁與複雜的決策問題，因此決策支援系統越顯重要。模式管理在決策支援系統重扮演了很重要的決策支援角色。加上目前Web技術的盛行，組織或企業也都開始以Web-based來開發各種資訊系統，其中當然也包括了決策支援系統。因此，本研究試圖以Web技術去實現模式管理以支援組織的決策活動。
本研究將模式以服務的形式來包裝，以達成有效支援組織決策的目的。其中，模式整合能力是本研究所要達成的主要目標，我們使用了網路服務結合（Web Services Composition）的標準技術去實現模式整合的能力。整體來講，本研究主要使用了WSDL與BPEL4WS語言去建構一個模式整合與管理的方法，支援組織決策活動，讓組織的決策能夠更及時、更快速、更準確，以因應這個瞬息萬變的知識經濟時代。
未來的資訊架構很可能會走向服務導向架構（Service-Oriented Architecture, SOA），這個典範轉移的基礎技術便是網路服務（Web Services）。因此，本研究的方法也是為了因應未來整體資訊架構的轉移。總而言之，我們希望藉由本研究的模式管理方法，除了讓組織不至淹沒於資訊洪流當中，還能提供組織一個有效的決策支援，使得組織在整體經營上能夠取得相對的競爭優勢。

Decision support systems (DSS) are increasingly important in this highly competitive environment in which organizations face frequent and complex decision problems. The increased popularity of web technology has pushed most information systems to be web-based; DSS is no exception. Model management as a major component in DSS is also moving toward this direction. Therefore, this research examines how web services technology can be used to implement model management for decision support.
In this research, a model is treated as a service. The primary purpose of this research is to achieve model integration capabilities. We adopt existing techniques for web service composition to implement a system that can support model integration. In other words, we use WSDL and BPEL4WS to develop a model integration and management method to support organizational decision making.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a trend for future information systems. Web service technology is the foundation for this paradigm shift. The method developed in this research can facilitate an organization to better manage its decision models to increase its competitive advantages.
