Implementing Business Processes in JaCaMo+ by Exploiting Accountability and Responsibility
Matteo Baldoni, Cristina Baroglio, Roberto Micalizio, Stefano Tedeschi · 2019
In this demo paper we exemplify a business process programming approach that provides proper abstractions for capturing goals and relationships between the actors. To this end, we propose a paradigm shift from a procedural (activity-oriented) to an agent-based approach, where the agent technology is the means through which processes are implemented, while relationships are based upon two fundamental concepts in human organizations: responsibility and accountability. Specifically, we discuss how a business process specified via accountability and responsibility relationships can be implemented in JaCaMo+, an extension to the well-known JaCaMo agent platform in which social commitments are made available as programming constructs.
