Abstract
This work addresses the Interaction Protocols (IP) adaptation issue for coordination in the context of Crisis Management Processes (CMP). CMP refers to the coordination of different activities performed by involved actors in a dynamic and unstable context. Using interaction protocols (such as contract net, negotiation or vote) is one possible way to deal with this coordination. In order to guarantee an efficient use of IP, we need to adapt them. In our previous work, we proposed an MDA (Model Driven Architecture) framework to support the IP adaptation. More precisely, we proposed the conjointly use of version and context notions to model the IP versions and their contexts (the CIM level). We also proposed an extension of AUML sequence diagram meta-model to specify graphically the contextualized versioned interaction protocols (the PIM level). In this paper, we propose an Interaction Protocols Adaptation and Management System (IPAMS) that supports the previous contributions. This IPAMS ensures the IP adaptation at run time. Finally, we propose a well-known crisis scenario called “Air Crash Management Process” in order to illustrate the proposed solution.
