A Collaborative Multi-agent Based Workflow System

Agent based workflow systems are being discussed by many researchers for a long time. In this paper we present a new collaborative approach for workflow systems. Agents collaborate by forming social network such as societies. Various kinds of societies can exist and that facilitates cooperation and a communal effort towards group oriented problem solving. This framework would help us study the social behavior of real life resources represented by the agents in an agent-based workflow system. The societal framework for the workflow management system would be built upon our existing multi-agent based workflow management system.
