(Discussion Paper, 2000)Workflow management systems are increasingly used to assist the automation of business processes that involve the exchange of documents, information, or task execution results. Recent developments in distributed information ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1996)This paper presents a practical multi-agent architecture for assisting users to coordinate the use of both special and general purpose software tools for performing tasks in a given problem domain. The architecture is open ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2011)Container terminals play a critical role in international shipping and are under pressure to cope with increasing container traffic. The problem of managing container terminals effectively has a number of characteristics ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2005)Rapid changes in the business environment call for more flexible and adaptive workflow systems. Researchers have proposed that Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) comprising multiple agents can provide these capabilities. ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2006)With the advent of Web Services, more and more business organizations make their services available on the Internet through Web Services and also use other services that are available on the corporate Intranet. From the ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1996)The use of intelligent software agents is a modelling paradigm that is gaining increasing attention in the applications of distributed systems. This paper identifies essential characteristics of agents and shows how they ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2010)In this paper we consider the broader issue of gaining assurance that an agent system will behave appropriately when it is deployed. We ask to what extent this problem is addressed by existing research into formal verification. ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1998)This paper describes an agent-based architecture designed to provide automation support for users who perform information processing tasks using a collection of distributed and disparate software tools and on-line resources. ... -
(Journal Article, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2007)Software engineers have many robust commercial tools available to them for creating and manipulating models. Due to the widespread adoption of the Object Management Group (OMG) standards for metamodel definition, model ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2005)This paper discusses the potential benefits to ontology engineering in making the toolset of the Object Management Group’s model-driven architecture (MDA) applicable to ontology modelling, and describes the design of an ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2007)This paper proposes to design a mechanism that will allow Maori users to specify their privacy preferences related to their culture when a software system asks for culturally sensitive information. We first identify various ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings 09121: Normative Multi-Agent Systems, 2009)In multi-agent systems, software agents are modelled to possess characteristics and behaviour borrowed from human societies. Norms are expectations of behaviours of the agents in a society. Norms can be established in a ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1995)With the increasing size, complexity and interconnectedness of systems and organisations, there is a growing need for high level modelling approaches that span the range of application domains. Causal agent modelling offers ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2009)This research focuses on the design and development of an IBIS-based tool called IBISMod, which facilitates a distributed and collaborative decision-making process. IBIS-based systems help analysts and designers in the ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1995)The concept of an intelligent software agent has emerged from its origins in artificial intelligence laboratories to become an important basis for the development of distributed systems in the mainstream computer science ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2003)In FIPA-style multi-agent systems, agents coordinate their activities by sending messages representing particular communicative acts (or performatives). Agent communication languages must strike a balance between simplicity ... -
(Other Type, 2007)Constructing an accurate effort prediction model is a challenge in Software Engineering. One difficulty practitioners often experience is that they have only a very small amount of local data to construct a model. The small ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2007)The concept of autonomy is a central concept in distributed computational systems and in multi-agent systems in particular. With diverse implications in philosophy and despite frequent use in social sciences and the theory ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1999)The increasing availability and variety of large environmental data sets is opening new opportunities for data mining and useful cross-referencing of disparate environmental data sets distributed over a network. In order ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2001)The purpose of this document is to describe the key technology issues for distributed information access in New Zealand. It is written from an industrial and public sector perspective, representing the views and findings ...
