Abstract

Default interactions are a novel concept that supports the agent-based simulation framework and modeling toolset that is built around the TALL language. This paper argues that default interactions are ubiquitous in business processes that are mostly constituted and driven by human interactions. Therefore, it is necessary to make the default interactions explicit by developing and imposing protocols for their execution. The paper shows how interactions that otherwise need a very complex execution scheme can be radically simplified by employing various types of default interactions, depending on the type of the organization that is modeled and simulated.
