Distributed business processes in open agent environments.
In Yannis Manolopoulos, Joaquim Filipe, Panos Constantopoulos, and José Cordeiro, editors, ICEIS 2006 - Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems: Databases and Information Systems Integration, Paphos, Cyprus, May 2006, pages 81-86, 2006.

In the context of multi-agent systems, a general aim is the inter-operability of agents. One problem remaining unsolved is the control of processes between agents. The need for workflow technology to support business processes on the level of agents becomes obvious. We provide concepts for distributed WFMS where the distribution is realised within the architecture. Given the formal background of Petri nets, this work is innovative regarding the interplay of agent and workflow technologies.
