Refereed Software Systems Demonstrations and Development

Blake, M.B.  "WARP: Workflow Automation through Agent-Based Reflective Processes ", Proceedings at the 5^th International Conference on Autonomous Agents, ACM Press, Montreal, Canada, May 2001 (software demonstration)

This multi-agent architecture coordinates a workflow consisting of distributed components.  The architecture accepts workflow specification in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as Rational Rose Model Files.  The workflow specifications must be captured using WARP-specific semantics and models.  These models are translated into XML-based instructions for use by the WARP agents.
