Model Driven Approach

In cross-organisational business interactions, integrating different partners raises interoperability problems especially on the technical level. The internal processes and interfaces of the participating partners are often pre-existing and have to be taken as given. This imposes restrictions on the possible solutions for the problems which occur when partner processes are integrated. The aim of this chapter is the presentation of a three-tier framework for managing and implementing interoperable and crossorganizational business processes. Thereby the authors want to fill the gap currently existing between processes defined on a strategic level and executed models. We describe a solution which supports rapid prototyping by combining a model-driven framework for cross-organisational business processes with an agent-based approach for flexible process execution. We show how the W3C recommendation for Semantic Web service descriptions can be combined with the model-driven approach for rapid service integration.

Automated service discovery is one of the very important features in any Semantic Web Service (SWS) based framework. Achieving this functionality in e-resource sharing system is not an easy task due to its hugeness and heterogeneity among the available resources. Any efficient automated service discovery will remain worthless until discovered services fulfill the required goal(s) demanded by the user or the client program. In this paper we have proposed a goal driven approach towards an automated service discovery using Agent Swarm in an innovative way .A novel multi agent based architecture has been introduced here for service discovery. Communications among the agent in service-oriented framework for the said purpose has also been illustrated here. Finally, the pictorial view of the running agent in the system is shown.

Administration Procedure

In this chapter, an electronic model of Public Administration’s operation using an ontology as a means to a formalized representation of knowledge is presented. According to the proposed model, every public administration procedure is viewed as a service offered to some external entity and is represented as a (Semantic) Web service, semantically annotating its functional parameters, profile, and workflow. The modeling of public administration services/procedures involved the commonly used IOPE (Inputs – Outputs – Preconditions – Effects) model of OWL-S for Semantic Web Service description. This chapter also presents a specific use case about the Human Resource Management department of the Region of Central Macedonia. In order to do so, certain extensions/adaptations of the general methodology were needed. In this chapter the authors fully present and justify these adaptations that were deployed in order to turn the general methodology into a really flexible and re-usable tool to model any public administration procedure. Furthermore, the authors describe the full knowledge engineering cycle for developing the ontology of this department’s business processes.
