Ontological Analysis of the MibML Grammar using the Bunge-Wand-Weber Model
Proliferation of multiagent application in business domains prompts increasing studies in MIBIS (Multiagent-based Integrative Business Information Systems) development. Recently, MibML (Multiagent-based Integrative Business Modeling Language) has been proposed as a conceptual-modeling grammar for the MIBIS universe. In this paper, we investigate the MibML grammar from the perspective of the BWW...
متن کاملSemantics of the MibML Conceptual Modeling Grammar: An Ontological Analysis Using the Bunge-Wang-Weber Framework
ion. With a goal clearly defined as a stable state of an agent and a task as an internal transformation, we understand that a task changes states of an agent. That is, if an instance generates data flows or modifies values of internal properties of an agent, it is modeled as a task. Therefore, if “order inventory” results in update or creation of inventory information, it is modeled as a task. ...
متن کاملAgile Integration Modeling Language (AIML): A conceptual modeling grammar for agile integrative business information systems
The proliferation of newer agile integrative business information systems (IBIS) environments that use the software agent and the multiagent systems paradigms has created the need for a common and well-accepted conceptual modeling grammar that can be used to efficiently, precisely, and unambiguously, model agile IBIS systems at the conceptual level. In this paper, we propose a conceptual modeli...
متن کاملThe GRITICKA Ontology for Modeling Multiagent-Based Integrative Business Information Systems
While multiagent technology has been widely applied in various business areas, there is no unified and coherent multiagent system architecture and conceptual grammar for modeling integrative business information systems. In this paper we propose a special-purpose ontology for Multiagent-based Integrative Business Information System (MIBIS) called the GRITICKA ontology that provides a modeling g...
متن کاملEnterprise integration using the agent paradigm: foundations of multi-agent-based integrative business information systems
Enterprise integration through integrated business information systems (IBIS) is necessary to achieve agility in the current age of hyper-competition. Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide a new paradigm for IBIS development. In this paper, we review the IBIS modeling and MAS literatures and find that the MAS paradigm provides an excellent approach for modeling and implementing IBIS systems. We syn...
