Profs Manuel Kolp (UCL/LSM/CEMIS) and Yves Wautelet (KULeuven/Faculteit Economie en Bedrijfswetenschappen, also invited faculty at LSM/CEMIS) publish consecutively 2 papers on organizational and multi-agent systems in A-rated journals.
The first one, untitled Human organizational patterns applied to collaborative learning software systems, has been published end of 2015 in Computers in Human Behavior. It aims to define organizational patterns that can serve as guidance for building software systems. The paper validates them on collaborative systems such as LMS (Learning Management Systems) and MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses).
The second one, untitled Business and model-driven development of BDI multi-agent systems has been published beginning of 2016 in Neurocomputing. It builds a business-driven transformation process leading to a run-time agent-architecture in a clear model-driven framework proposing strategic, tactical and operational views. To this extent, it addresses the lacks and deficiencies of classical organizational models to furnish adequate scope elements. It then defines a strategic analysis model driven by the concept of Service and genuinely introduces elements of quality and risk management at this level.
