Abstract:
Industry processes are the trans-corporate business processes
required to support the e-business environment. Industry process reengineering
is the re-engineering of trans-corporate business processes as
electronically managed processes. Industry process re-engineering is
business process re-engineering on a massively distributed scale.
Industry processes will not be restricted to routine workflows that follow
a more-or-less fixed path; they will include complex processes for which
their future path may be unknown at each stage in their existence. So a
management system for industry processes should be both highly
scalable and should be able to deal with such complex processes. A
multiagent process management system is described that can manage
processes of high complexity. This system is built from interacting
autonomous components so achieving system scalability.
