Abstract. We consider the programming of multiagent systems from an architectural perspective. Our perspective emphasizes the autonomy and heterogeneity of agents, the components of multiagent systems, and focuses on how to specify their interconnections in terms of high-level protocols. In this manner, we show how to treat the programming of a multiagent system as an architectural endeavor, leaving aside the programming of individual agents who might feature in a multiagent system as a secondary concern.

“…Singh et al have noticed how much the current concepts provided by choreography modeling languages are low-level. Since then, they proposed several frameworks that are closer to the business analyst every-day vocabulary to address this problem [15], [16], [19], [20]. Nevertheless, their works do not address the problem of evolutions that could occur during the collaboration.…”

The literature on product-based workflow design considers only static collaborative environments where the product model is static and does not change. However the possible evolution of the product model and thus its impact on the collaborative environment are not considered despite the importance of this evolution for innovative product design. As a result the uncontrolled changes can easily break the crossorganizational process that links the different stakeholders in the collaborative environment. In this paper we present a framework that builds the collaboration contract from the product model and supports a controlled evolution of this contract. We leverage this framework by a set of management operations (services) that enable the contract evolution and investigate how a tailoring operation will not impact the executable cross-organizational process unless this process is maintained executable by the workflow engine. These operations are provided as services by a collaborative platform and displayed through a standard-based user interface.

“…Using the proposed framework to model the cross-organizational process is promising because it decreases the coupling between organizations' processes. In addition it provides the business expert the means to naturally define the cross-organizational process based on high-level concepts, since existing business process modeling approaches fail to capture the business intent underlying the interactions [7].…”

Reaching agreements between organizations in a collaborative environment is a way to ensure interoperability between these organizations at all levels. For business processes interoperability this agreement can be reached by well defining the cross-organizational process. However most BPM frameworks have used meta-models centered on flows of activities, with the data manipulated by these activities seen as second-class citizens. For business analysts (for example in complex product design collaborative environments) data plays a major role. In this paper, we propose a methodology backed by a conceptual framework to model the cross-organizational process relying on the product model. This framework defines the evolution of the product model through a finite number of states, and then automatically generates executable artifacts to support the collaboration during run-time phase. This approach is being implemented in the living laboratory provided by EADS in the context of the European project IMAGINE.
