ModBE'13
International Workshop on
Modeling and Business Environments
Milano, Italy, June 24, 2013
a satellite event of
Petri Nets 2013
34th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATION AND
THEORY OF PETRI NETS AND CONCURRENCY
Contact e-mail: modbe13_at_informatik_dot_uni-hamburg_dot_de
Some of the best papers from the workshop will be invited for publication in a volume of the journal sub line of Lecture Notes in Computer Science entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be thoroughly revised and will go through a new round of reviewing, as standard practice for journal papers.
ToPNoC volumes of Petri Net conferences' workshops in the Springer LNCS series are contained in volumes 5100, 5460, 5800, 6550, 6900 and 7400.
Scope
While ModBE'13 (Modeling and Business Environments) will take place as a satellite event of Petri Nets 2013 other modeling techniques than Petri nets and their means are explicitly welcome. Furthermore, experts from the application domain will challenge the technical and conceptual solutions. ModBE'13 shall provide a forum for researchers from interested communities to investigate, experience, compare, contrast and discuss solutions for modeling in business environments. During the workshop a part of the available time is reserved for a group wise discussion of challenging questions.

Invited Speakers
- Ernesto Damiani and Paolo Ceravolo: Knowledge and Business Intelligence Technologies in Cross-Enterprise Environments for Italian Advanced Mechanical Industry (SESAR Lab, Department of Computer Science, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy)
-
Today's industry is pushed by the competitive pressure to revise the business model by opening the organizational boundaries to suppliers, clients and partners.
As a side effect, knowledge sharing within the market increases and organizations may lose control on strategical knowledge that can be exploited by competitors.
For this reason process monitoring today cannot fail in controlling the collaboration activities established inside and outside the organization.
KITE.it is a project, founded by the italian Ministry of Economic Development, aimed at proposing a methodological and technological framework to support the italian mechanical industry in adopting advanced business network approached. The Kite framework is aimed at driving the management process in the identification of the business values creating the network and in supporting the strategical analysis by monitoring both the operational and collaborative processes.
The metric system was designed to integrate in a unified analysis metrics insisting on the strategical, operational and collaborative level. From the technological point of view this is achieved by decoupling the monitoring format from the execution logs that can be integrated in the Kite model from heterogeneous data sources.
Further Invited Speakers
- PNSE'13
- Andrea Omicini and Stefano Mariani: Coordination for Situated MAS: Towards an Event-driven Architecture
(Alma Mater Studiorum -- Università di Bologna, Italy)
-
Complex software systems modelled as multi-agent systems (MAS) are characterised by activities that are generated either by agents, or by the environment in its most general acceptation --- that is, environmental resources and the spatio-temporal fabric.
Modelling and engineering complex multi-agent systems (MAS) -- such as pervasive, adaptive, and situated MAS -- requires then to properly handle diverse classes of events: agent operations, resource events, spatio-temporal situation.
In this talk, first we devise out the requirements for a software architecture for an agent-based middleware based on boundary artefacts, then we sketch a concrete architecture based on the TuCSoN middleware for MAS coordination.
