  1. Aberdeen/Edinburgh AKT TIEDistributed Knowledge-based Manipulation and Collaboration Jessica Chen-Burger AIAI, University of Edinburgh Jessica Chen-Burger

  2. Problem Context • Problem Context: • Modern organisations are virtual entities; • People involved are located in different places, each with different capabilities and responsibilities; • People needs to work collaboratively to accomplish tasks and together achieve organisational goals. • Two Enabling Technologies: • Business Process Modelling techniques: Edinburgh; • Constraint-based Problem Solving techniques: Aberdeen; • Mapping of the two. Jessica Chen-Burger

  4. Aims • Connect KRAFT and I-X based agents on AKTBus • Exchange process and product information via a shared constraint ontology based on CIF and <I-N-CA>/<I-N-OVA> • Demonstrate early ideas for intelligent meeting room support (I-Room) Jessica Chen-Burger

  5. Ultimate Goal – Support for a Virtual Organisation • To provide distributed knowledge- and semantic-based manipulation and collaboration; • A realisation where multiple tools are used (e.g. OU and Soton’s hyperlink tool, processor modeller, AKT-0, AKTbus, netmeeting) multiple methodologies and disciplines are involved, and information from multiple domains are used. Most importantly, people with different responsibilities and capabilities are working together to accomplish tasks, solve problems, and achieve organisational goals. Jessica Chen-Burger

  11. Fundamental Business Process Modelling Language (FBPML) • An Integration of concepts from several standard modelling languages: • IDEF3 – graphical notation, process concept • PSL – formal semantics • INCA framework compliant • IBM’s business model in BSDM – modelling principle • RAD – concept of roles • Planning and Workflow – formalism that is executable BPML • Design Principles: • Compliant with standardised process modelling languages • Minimum notations - easy to understand and use – (extendable) • INCA framework compliant • Semi-Formal modelling language based on formal theories • Notation with formal semantics - junction • Transaction theory • Declarative - executable • Methodical way of building BPM – iterative process in two higher level stages Jessica Chen-Burger
