Abstract

Today's enterprises are faced with highly dynamic, sometimes even hostile environments. This paper discovers that the two most prominent organizational strategies addressing these challenges, namely that of widespread decentralization and of business process orientation, are inherently conflicting.

We argue that cooperative knowledge processing technology can contribute to dissolve this conflict. For this purpose, we introduce the reader into the field of Distributed Artificial Intelligence. On that basis we then develop the concept of Agent oriEnted orGanISations (AEGIS), in order to support the flexible modeling and management of business processes in decentralized organizational settings.

Applying to methods of Distributed Planning a set of process modeling and process interaction operators is defined. These operators also permit to automatically create and customize computerized configurations of business processes. The concepts are presented in the context of an application in private banking, namely that of a Credit Advisory System.

AEGIS:面向代理的组织

今天的企业面临着高度动态的，有时甚至是敌对的环境。本文发现，解决这些挑战的两个最突出的组织策略，即广泛的去中心化和业务流程导向，本质上是相互冲突的。本文认为，协同知识处理技术有助于化解这一冲突。为此，我们向读者介绍分布式人工智能领域。在此基础上，我们开发了面向代理的组织(AEGIS)的概念，以便在分散的组织设置中支持业务流程的灵活建模和管理。应用分布式规划方法，定义了一组过程建模和过程交互算子。这些操作符还允许自动创建和自定义业务流程的计算机化配置。这些概念是在私人银行应用的背景下提出的，即信用咨询系统。
