| Abstract |
|
This paper deals with coordination in the context of
loose Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOW). The aim
of IOW is to support the cooperation between business
processes running in different organizations. Loose
IOW refers to occasional cooperation between
organizations, free of structural constraints, where the
organizations involved and their number are not predefined.
This paper shows that the agent technology is
appropriate to coordinate business processes in the
context of loose IOW. More precisely, this paper
proposes an agent-oriented architecture, compliant
with the Workflow Management Coalition reference
architecture, which represents business processes as
agents and uses mediators to coordinate them. This
paper also defines an agent-oriented organizational
model that describes the business processes coordination
according to the Agent-Group-Role meta model.
