On the one hand, the Software Product Lines (SPL) field is devoted to build a core architecture for a family of products from which concrete products can be derived rapidly by means of reuse. On the other hand, Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) is a software engineering paradigms dedicated to build software applications composed of...

The activities developed by a company (business pro cesses) have to change frequently to adapt to the environ ment. The implementation of business processes should support these changes without any recoding. In this work, we provide with an approach for modelling and executing agile and adaptable business processes. Our approach is based on UML...

The main goal of business modeling is to understand organizations to provide software solutions with high added value. This is a task far from trivial, and becomes more complex when it is modeled not a single organization but several organizations that interact. The current proposals for business modeling efforts focus only on representing...

Autonomic Computing (AC), self-management based on high level guidance from humans, is increasingly gain ing momentum as the way forward in designing reliable systems that hide complexity and conquer IT management costs. Effectively, AC may be viewed as Policy-Based Self Management. We look at ways to achieve this, and in par ticular focus on...

Nowadays most companies in whichever field have a software system that helps managing all the aspects of the company, from the strategic management to daily activities. Companies are in continuous evolution to adapt to market changes, and consequently, the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure that supports it must also evolve. Thus,...

Interactions between subparts of a system have been recognized as the source of complexity in many fields ranging from physics, sociology, neurology, to software engineering. Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) was born under the promise of conquering complexity and enabling the development of more complex software. However, current AOSE...

El principal objetivo del modelado de negocio es comprender el funcionamiento de las empresas para poder aportar soluciones software de alto valor a˜nadido. Sin embargo, esta es una tarea que dista mucho de ser trivial, y se torna m´as compleja cuando lo que se modela no es una organizaci´on aislada sino varias organizaciones que interact´uan...

When the protocol of a complex Multi-Agent System (MAS) needs to be developed, the top-down approach emphasises to start with abstract descriptions that should be refined incrementally until we achieve the detail leve! necessary to implement it. Unfortunately, there exist a semantic gap in protocol description methodologies because most of...

The variability level of average-size Business Informa tion Systems (BIS) is highly enough for making the design of this kind of systems a complex task. There is an approach called Process Family Engineering (PFE) that tries to ease the design of BIS using ideas from the Software Product Lines (SPL) field. Roughly speaking, they propose to,...

Interaction has been proved one of the main sources of complexity in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and many researches are working on techniques to palliate it. Furthermore, Organization modelling techniques lies on representing the groups of agents which are related by some kind of interaction. Current UML approaches represent these relationships...

There is a set of techniques that build Business Information Systems (BIS) deploying business processes of the company directly on a process engine. Business processes of companies are continuously changing in order to adapt to changes in the environment. This kind of variability appears at runtime, when a business subprocess is enabled...

It is widely accepted that role-based modelling is quite adequate in the context of multi-agent systems (MAS) modelling techniques. Unfortunately, very little work has been reported on how to describe the relationships between several role models. Furthermore, many authors agree on that protocols need to be encapsulated into high-level...

Business-Driven Development(BDD) is a research field that provides techniques and mechanisms for designing software systems starting from the business processes of the companies. Companies are in continuous evolution to adapt to market changes, thus, current process engineers redesign the processes every time that is needed using ad hoc...

The field of Software Product Lines (SPL) emphasizes building a family of software products from which concrete products can be derived rapidly. This helps to reduce time-to-market, costs, etc., and can result in improved software quality and safety. Current Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) methodologies are concerned with developing...
