Agent |
An Agent is an Operating Asset which is able to participate actively to Behaviors, to produce and react to Outcome Events. 1. Agents participate to Action Processes (Active Participant) and/or conduct Action Processes (Performed Process). 2. Agents participate to Interaction Process (Scenario Participant) describing how they interact with other Agents. These actions and interactions define Agents boundaries described by Service Interfaces. |
