Abstract

This paper presents the Agent Activity, a Petri net construct combining workflow tasks with the abilities of software agents. Agent Activities are at the core of our new approach, in which they are used by novel modelling entities. These entities provide integrated workflow and agent functionality. This supports a modelling perspective incorporating the strengths of both multi-agent systems and workflow management systems to allow for e.g. better support of inter-organisational modelling. The paper focuses on the role, function and construction of the Agent Activity in the approach.
