Automatic Definition of MOISE Organizations for Adaptive Workflows

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.
