Application of Workflow in Multi-Agent System Organization
Resumo
This paper presents a proposal for a model to integrate a workflow system into a multi-agent organizational model. Three alternatives are evaluated and the best alternative is integrated into the Moise organizational framework. An example of the chosen model is shown and a comparison based on workflow patterns is presented. The advantages of using this model are also discussed.
