An Agent-Based Collaborative Architecture for Knowledge-driven Process Management

Abstract

This paper proposes an agent-based collaborative architecture for collaborative work. This architecture is applied to knowledge-driven process management, which often requires quick reconfiguration of applications. Using this architecture, an open multi-agent system is integrated with a virtual collaborative environment. The virtual collaborative environment provides the representation and management for knowledge driven processes. The open multi-agent system is quickly reconfigurable to provide suitable autonomous functions that perform the knowledge driven processes.
