Abstract

This paper proposes an agent-oriented modeling method for the information processing. First of all, it presents an information processing model for real world; then the hierarchical organization of agents and the structure of an agent are given. Furthermore, the logical representation of transaction and event are described. Finally, an agent-oriented modeling process is put forward. Modeling starts from describing the agents that participate in the process; then gathers the other information centered on agents and creates the model. The approach can explicitly present the organized structure of agents and the correlation among transactions, reflect the dynamic process change by describing the state change of the system, illustrate the dynamic character of information process.
