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

This paper proposes an agent-based collaborative architecture for collaborative work. This architectureis applied to knowledge-drivenprocess management, which often requires quick reconfiguration of applications. Using this architecture, an open multi-agent system is integrated with a virtual collaborativeenvironment. The virtual collaborativeenvironmentprovides the representation and management for knowledgedriven processes. The open multi-agent system is quickly reconfigurable to provide suitable autonomousfunctions that perform the knowledgedrivenprocesses.
