An Operational and Secure Mobile-Agent Based System for Business Process Reconstruction

To improve process organisations management, enterprise models should be adjusted to fit the current organisation. Moreover, infrastructure optimisation has to take into account the way it will be used. Due to these requirements, we propose to couple the Business Processes (BP) description to the infrastructure description. By this way, pro-active management on the infrastructure equipment can be implemented and reporting data can be used to rebuild the current BP execution. Due to the information diversity, we propose to implement such an Organisation Management System (OMS) thanks to a mobile agent framework. Experiments presenting how collaboration practices can be extracted from network management data bring to light the interest of such architecture.
