Resumen:
Nowadays, organizations establish Business-to-Business (B2B) collaborations
with their business partners. Inter-organizational collaboration is
carried out through the execution of collaborative business processes. Organizations
are requiring and undergoing the setting up of dynamic B2B collaborations,
instead of conducting face-to-face negotiations and agreements for
executing collaborative processes. This implies that business partners, maybe
without a previous relationship, agree dynamically on the execution of collaborative
processes based on predefined models of these processes. In this work,
we propose an B2B collaboration platform which provides agent-based systems
and interaction mechanisms in order to enable organizations to establish dynamic
agreements with their partners and carry out the decentralized execution
of collaborative processes. Agents use models of collaborative processes to enact
them in a dynamic way. The role an organization performs in a collaborative
process is translated into a Petri Net model that a collaboration agent interpret
to execute the process.
