In this paper, we motivate that concepts as abilities to reidentify , rather than classifications, should be the basis of an agent's conceptuology. Most concepts are not classes; class definitions are artificial, often contextdependent, and don't use inductive knowledge. We will present the basic concepts of CROC, a Representational Ontology for Concepts.

On the one hand, this new situation requires flexible, spontaneous and opportunistic collaboration activities to be identified and established among (business) parties. On the other hand, it also requires engineering approaches able to integrate new functionalities and behaviours into running systems and active, distributed, interdependent processes. In this paper we present a multilevel architecture, combining organisational and coordination theories with model driven development, for the implementation, deployment and management of dynamic, flexible and robust serviceoriented business applications. • orchestration and choreography (WS-BPEL [7], XPDL [23], ebXML [13] and WS-CDL [21]); • association of semantics with Web-services (OWL-S [20] and WSMO [24]).

They can be economic, social, personal, structural, environmental, etc. In many simulation frameworks only one of these elements is considered. However we argue that it is exactly the interaction between the different types of elements that is interesting when considering the mediation of business processes. Whether a mediator has a right of existence does not just depend on the quality of his service, but also on the social structure between suppliers and users, the communication infrastructure, etc. In this paper we propose an agent-based simulation framework in which this type of situations can be studied and we show an example of its use in a simulation of the house market.

One of the major challenges in international trade is the development of a network structure and collaboration mechanism that can facilitate adaptive, flexible and synchronized behavior in a dynamic trade environment that is both reliable and secure. Businesses that are involved in the international trade network already invest in three ways to realize this. These investments are the development of trust-certifications, the optimization of logistics and terminal operations and the realization of sustainable supply chains by means of traceability. The availability of reliable trade data throughout the supply chain is a prerequisite to realize a reliable and secure dynamic trade environment. In this paper, a service orchestration architecture is outlined that supports businesses in realizing the three improvements while making use of reliable trade data.

Have agent researchers considered the potentialities and demands of the knowledge management field as an application domain? Such questions are increasingly being asked, and several projects have been started that attempt to provide an answer.

There is a large body of research on software services, but the issues of communication and dynamic reconfiguration have received little attention, as have adaptation to environment and dynamic combination of service building blocks into new applications. Here, we present the approach of the FP7 ALIVE project to the use of formal models of coordination and organisation mechanisms to deliver a flexible, high-level means to describe the structure of interactions between services in the environment. Our aim is to ...

Current multiagent approaches either take a centralist, static approach to organizational design or take an emergent view in which agent interactions are not pre-determined, thus making it impossible to make any predictions on the behavior of the whole systems. Most ...
