Abstract
Nowadays, we are confronted with increasingly complex information systems. Modelling these kinds of systems will only be controlled through appropriate tools, techniques and models. Work of the Open Management Group (OMG) in this area have resulted in the development of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Decision Model and Notation (DMN). Currently, these two standards are a pillar of various business architecture Frameworks to support Business-IT alignment and minimize the gap between the managers’ expectations and delivered technical solutions. Several research focus on the extension of these models especially BPMNDF which aims to harmonize decision-making throughout a single business process. The current challenge is to extend the BPMNDF in order to cover business process in a distributed and cooperative environment. In this paper, we propose the Multi-Agent BPMN Decision Footprint (MABPMNDF) which is a novel model based on both BPMNDF and MAS to support decision-making in distributed business process.
