Abstract

This paper proposes an agent-based approach which seamlessly supports the phases of modeling and enactment of distributed workflows. An agent-based distributed workflow model is basically obtained by instantiating a MAS (Multi-Agent System) meta-model for the management of distributed workflows by means of a workflow schema based on the Workflow Patterns. In order to enact an obtained agent-based model, a JADE-based workflow enactment framework, directly designed upon the MAS meta-model, was developed.
