Autonomic business processes scalable architecture: Position paper

Abstract

Organizations have to face new challenges, hold new opportunities, conquer and maintain important customers and always find a better strategic position. The principles used in Autonomic Computing can be adapted to help them survive in dynamic business scenarios. Thus, organizations should count on processes that can be able to self-manage and self-adapt to better answer market and organization's changes, as well as new challenges - Autonomic Business Processes. This work proposes a multi-agent rule-based scalable architecture to provide business processes with autonomic properties, reducing the need for human intervention, and improving overall organization's response time. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
