چکیده
This paper presents an overview of WADE (Workflows and Agents Development Environment), an open-source platform for agentbased BPM (Business Process Management) that has been adopted in Telecom Italia for mission-critical systems since the early 2000s. First, we sketch the main features of WADE and outline its internal architecture. Then, we describe WANTS (Workflows and AgeNTS), an industrial strength platform for large-scale network & service management that is now in service in Telecom Italia, and that leverages WADE agent-based workflows as core technology. Finally, we conclude the paper with a brief summary of the presented innovative technologies.
