Towards organizational interoperability through artifacts

چکیده
Achieving interoperability among open and distributed systems is an issue addressed by several research communities, such as the ones related to service-oriented, cloud and bigdata computing, among others, mostly by proposing standards and protocols. The multiagent systems (MAS) research community is also interested in it, since Organization-Centered MAS (OC-MAS) are suitable for developing open systems for distributed and heterogeneous environments. Nevertheless, OC-MAS are still dependent on organizational infrastructures to execute properly, which means that to interoperate with several OC-MAS, agents must be able to run on different organizational infrastructures. This is still an issue under investigation in the MAS community. In this paper, we describe a first step to provide an artifact-based solution to achieve interoperability among OC-MASs by using an existing normative programming language to translate organizational models and following the multiagent programming approach from JaCaMo platform.
