Duration: since 2001

Keywords: Renew, Mulan, Agent, Capa, Börsenspiel, Settler, Workflow Management System

Objectives:

Petri nets are used for specific applications in the TGI group since several years. In different perennial projects, petri net and agent-oriented applications are developed, e.g. the "Börsenspiel" and the Settler game.

Precise goals:

Programming with reference nets
Using, testing and trigger further development of Mulan/Capa
Using the agent paradigm to structure distributed systems
Design of an agentoriented approach to the development of distributed, complex systems (PAOSE)
