Deliverable 3.1

The General Networking Framework (GNF) considers an opportunity of ontological modeling of business processes as integration of component behavioral models of various business actors (agents representing smart resources in the web) in such a way that this integration will constitute the behavioral model of an agent responsible for the "alliance" of the components. This means that such "corporate" agent will monitor behaviors of the proactive components against the constraints provided by the integration scenario. Such model is naturally recursive and this means that the corporate agent can be a component in a more complex business process and will be monitored itself by an agent from the more higher level of hierarchy. Hierarchy of agents can be considered as possible mapping from the part-of ontological hierarchy of the domain resources.

The above motivates the main research objective of SmartResource project in 2006: "Design of a General Networking Framework as a platform for integration individual behaviors of proactive smart resources into a business process with opportunity to manage the reliability of components by certification, personal trust evaluations and exchange".
