Abstract
The Dynamic Process Integration Framework (DPIF) supports efficient creation of distributed systems for collaborative reasoning, which is relevant for contemporary problems, such as situation assessment, prediction, planning and evaluation of alternatives in a decision making process. In particular, the DPIF is a multi agent systems approach supporting (i) a systematic encapsulation of heterogeneous processes and (ii) negotiation-based self configuration mechanisms which automate creation of meaningful work flows implementing complex collaborative reasoning processes.
