Flexible and Emergent Workflows Using Adaptive Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of existing workflow systems are rigid since they require to completely specify processes before their enactment and they also lack flexibility during their execution. This work proposes to view a workflow as a set of cooperative and adaptive agents interleaving its design and its execution leading to an emergent workflow. We use the theory of Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems (AMAS) to provide agents with adaptive capabilities and the whole multi-agent system with emergent “feature”. We provide a meta-model linking workflow and AMAS concepts, and the specification of agent behavior and the resulting collaborations. A simulator has been implemented with the Make Agent Your-

متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
متن کاملAdaptive Inverse Control of Flexible Link Robot Using ANFIS Based on Type-2 Fuzzy
This paper presents a novel adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system based on interval Gaussian type-2 fuzzy sets in the antecedent part and Gaussian type-1 fuzzy sets as coefficients of linear combination of input variables in the consequent part. The capability of the proposed ANFIS2 for function approximation and dynamical system identification is remarkable. The structure of ANFIS2 is very sim...
متن کاملRobust adaptive control of voltage saturated flexible joint robots with experimental evaluations
This paper is concerned with the problem of design and implementation a robust adaptive control strategy for flexible joint electrically driven robots (FJEDR), while considering to the constraints on the actuator voltage input. The control design procedure is based on function approximation technique, to avoid saturation besides being robust against both structured and unstructured uncertaintie...
متن کاملFlexible Workflows: Reputation-based Message Routing
This paper looks at the integration of human agents into composite workflows. Rather than using existing Worklist based mechanisms, it proposes a reputation recommendation based scheme based on data mining techniques used to analyse both passive and active ‘gestures’ within a system. The scheme provides a more flexible and effective solution to message routing than that in common use and gives ...
