abstract = {The use of multi-agent systems for the implementation and management of data-intensive workflows is generally considered a particularly interesting solution. We propose an approach that exploits the definition of processes described with the BPMN language for the automatic generation of agent organisations. To demonstrate the use of our approach, we chose the JaCaMo agent framework for its inherent support of agent organisations described with the MOISE meta-model. The resulting agent organization is built for adapting to different execution context, by self-modifying its structural and functional specification for continuing to fulfil the BP goal. textcopyright 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

abstract = {The enactment of dynamic workflows may take advantage of the multi-agent system paradigm. The approach presented in this paper allows exploiting a high-level BPMN process definition to generate an agent organisation that can enact the workflow using different strategies. These are implemented as organisational schemes representing alternative goal decomposition trees. The availability of several equivalent solutions enables the optimisation and adaptation features of the approach. The mapping of the initial workflow to organisations starts with the automatic generation of goals from the BPMN, and it exploits a metamodeling approach to generate MOISE organisation definition. textcopyright 2021 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
