Beyond Communication Loops – Multi-Responsive Actions in Business Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper examines one of the corner-stones of the language/action (LAP) approaches: communication loop modelling. This kind of modelling is used in approaches like Action Workflow and DEMO and it includes the modelling of two fundamental roles; customer and performer. The paper extends earlier critical analysis of two-role models. It introduces the principle of multi-responsiveness, meaning that one organisational action can be a response to several different communication acts. The difference between a present triggering initiative and trans-situational background initiatives are described. The paper uses a reference case, the pizza shop case, well-known in the LAP community through earlier use in many papers.

Multi-period network Data Envelopment Analysis to measure the efficiency of a real business
Measuring the efficiency of real businesses is not a simple task, because a real business may involve several processes and sub-processes, forming a very complicated dynamic network of interactions. In this paper, a customized dynamic network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model is proposed to measure the efficiency of the sub-processes in a real business. The proposed dynamic NDEA model is f...
متن کاملDefining a Pragmatic Based Web-service Discovery Mechanism
The discovery of contextually relevant web services is crucial to business organisations. Pragmatics (in terms of communication acts) and semiotics (the understanding of signs), intersect at an important point in relation to textual entities. The intersection of pragmatics and semiotics provides the fabric essential to model the interaction between humans and norm-based agents by moving beyond ...

In the context of the polyparadigmatic system of higher education, the noospheric psychological-pedagogical paradigm is considered, on its basis a lingvodidactic model is developed for the formation of professional-communicative competence (PCC) in Russian-language business communication among foreign students. The research focuses on the basic principles of the noospheric paradigm, which procl...
متن کاملResponsiveness in Process Calculi
In a process calculus, an agent guarantees responsive usage of a channel name r if a communication along r is guaranteed to eventually take place. Responsiveness is important, for instance, to ensure that any request to a service be eventually replied. We propose two distinct type systems, each of which statically guarantees responsive usage of names in well-typed pi-calculus processes. In the ...
متن کاملUtilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs
Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...
