2 Aim: Workflow and Messaging Catch All Can take ANY requirement to: Handle an issue Perform an activity Add a constraint Deals with these via: Manual activity Internal capabilities External capabilities Reroute or delegate to other panels or agents Plan and execute a composite of these capabilities Receives reports and interprets them to: Understand current status of issues, activities and constraints Understand current world state, especially status of process products Help user control the situation Copes with partial knowledge

3 Approach: I-X Process Panels To explore task driven cooperation via issue handling, activity performance and constraint management using shared models of activity and the artifacts involved. These shared models use the constraint ontology for activity and the more general constraint model for synthesized artifacts & - Issues, Nodes, Constraints and Annotations Provision of a modular task and process management facility on the CoABS Grid and other communications mechanisms including: issue handling workflow and coordination constraint management multi-modal visualization/presentation respect of agent organizational structures for tasking and authority management consideration of multiple cooperative agent domains and workspaces Provision of Generic CoABS Grid Task and Process Management facilities through I-X Process Panels (I-P 2 ) and related Decision Support (I-Think), Planning (I-Plan) and Domain/Process Editing (I-DE) tools
