For fulfilling customer requests, enterprises are increasingly part of collaboration networks with peers. Such collaborations, also known as virtual enterprises (VE), are governed by pre-defined contracts that restrict the behaviour of each participating enterprise. However, since each enterprise is autonomous, the potential arises for conflicts during collaboration. In this paper, we extend our earlier...
Software agents are a means to support socio-technical decentralised systems that increase the complexity of daily life. Designing multi-agent systems involves modelling methods for which it is currently not possible to check for soundness before a technical implementation. To improve the design process, the agent models require a mapping to a formalisation that is sufficiently expressive to represent...
Enterprises today find themselves increasingly part of networks of collaborations with their peers in order to fulfil customer requirements. Such collaborations, also known as virtual enterprises (VE), are governed by pre-defined contracts that restrict the behaviour of each participating enterprise. However, since each enterprise is autonomous, conflicts could arise during the collaboration. In this...
The development of large socio-technical systems is now more feasible with the availability of service-oriented cloud computing although this results in a higher complexity level with respect to security and dependability in service-ecosystems. Additionally, the communication between humans and software is more complex too. Developing system architectures that comprise proactive agents are a means...
Technology advancement has motivated researches and studies in different domains which have enormous impact on the quality of life including healthcare domain. Among the challenges that hinder effective realization of these technologies in healthcare domain are heterogeneous nature of patients, limited internet connectivity — especially in developing countries —, and high costs of healthcare services...
