Abstract

Process-Oriented and Agent-Oriented are both emerging views of software and have their advantages and disadvantages respectively. What presents a striking contrast is that the process-oriented BPM is passive while the agent-orient MAS is proactive. Therefore, this paper employs MultiAgent to eliminate the passivity of BPM so as to make BPM proactive. It gives the architecture of the proposed MultiAgent-employed BPM and the design of the MultiAgent. This work is critically important as it serves as a bridge from existing, static views of BPM to future, agent-based, dynamic BPM.
