A research agenda for autonomous business process management
- in Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
, 2007
"... Fast changing requirements, regarding different types of resources such as personnel or IT-systems, require companies to adapt their business processes in a very agile but yet sophisticated way. Most of today’s companies fail in accomplishing this goal because of too static business process analysis ..."

and applications to support evolving business processes. Workflow technology facilitates these by providing methodologies and software to support (i) business process modeling to capture business processes as workflow specifications, (ii) business process reengineering to optimize specified processes, and (iii
Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Negotiation decision functions for autonomous agents
- International Journal of Robotics and Autonomous Systems
, 1998
"... We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent for another. The model de nes a range of strategies and tactics that agents can employ to generate initial o ers, evaluate proposa ..."

Review: information technology and organizational performance: an integrative model of IT business value
, 2004
"... Despite the importance to researchers, managers, and policy makers of how information technology (IT) contributes to organizational performance, there is uncertainty and debate about what we know and don’t know. A review of the literature reveals that studies examining the association between infor ..."

the integrative model to synthesize what is known about IT business value and guide future research by developing propositions and suggesting a research agenda. A principal finding is that IT is valuable, but the extent and dimensions are dependent upon internal and external factors, including complementary
A framework for argumentation-based negotiation
- Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL-97), volume 1365 of LNAI
, 1998
"... Abstract. Many autonomous agents operate in domains in which the cooperation of their fellow agents cannot be guaranteed. In such domains negotiation is essential to persuade others of the value of co-operation. This paper describes a general framework for negotiation in which agents exchange propos ..."

proposals backed by arguments which summarise the reasons why the proposals should be accepted. The argumentation is persuasive because the exchanges are able to alter the mental state of the agents involved. The framework is inspired by our work in the domain of business process management and is explained
Process Mining: A Research Agenda

The key advance of our system is that responsibility for enacting various components of the business process is delegated to a number of autonomous
A design theory for systems that support emergent knowledge processes
