Abstract

This paper deals with the automation of academic processes using workflow management systems. Current available workflows create lot of network traffic which leads to increase in network latency. The solution to this problem is to integrate mobile agents with workflow systems. Many researchers proposed and developed such systems but none of them consider the scenario of academic institution which has some unique features that no one showed. We in this paper propose a framework for a multi-agent based academic workflow system using Java based Aglets and XML for data representation. It uses Java Rule Engine API (JSR 094) to implement academic rules and policies of university.
